10/28: The Battle of Tours - A talk by Dr. Donovan (St. Stans)

On October 28th, Dr. Donovan will be giving a lecture on The Battle of Tours.  This was a great battle between Charles Martel and his forces against the invading muslims. 


Dr. Sean Donovan is a Milwaukee area physician and retired U.S. Navy Captain, now in private practice after 29 years' naval service. His last tour of active duty was with 1st Battalion, 25th Marines, in Fallujah, Iraq. He has published and spoken on medical and historical subjects in a variety of venues.

Dr. Donovan's interest in the Battle of Tours dates to an invitation to a wedding in Tours twenty years ago. At that time, the tragic events which have since befallen France and the West were nearly unimaginable; now France is once more at the center of a struggle with antecedents traceable to - and before - Tours in 732.

Dr. Donovan invites all interested to join in a consideration of the Battle of Tours, how it came to be fought, and its lasting historical significance. The event is open to everyone, and we suggest a ten dollar donation. A social will follow for young adults from the ages of 18 to 40. Hope to see you there!

This is being put on by Sursum Corda MKE, but all are invited to the talk.  Also, if you are a young adult you are invited to a social afterwards and many other events the following day. Feel free to come.  They ask that you sign up if possible for food reasons:

Juventutem Chicago Meeting talks 3/26

Over Lent I was blessed to attend, as a Sursum Corda Milwaukee Chapter representative, the Juventutem Chicago Chapter meeting at St. John Cantius.  Some good food, some networking and great food also followed.  But most importantly I was able to hear two great talks given by two fantastic priests Fr. C. Frank Phillips and Fr. Armand de Malleray.


The first talk given was by Fr. Phillips who is the Pastor of St. John Cantius, as well as the Founder of The Canons of St. John Cantius.  This community that he founded is dedicated to restoring the sacred to every aspect of the Churches life.  The canons celebrate Mass in both the ancient and new rites with a true sense of reverence and a firm adherence to the teachings put forth by Sacrosanctum Concillium. In the following talk, Father addresses his history with the Parish, the founding of the Canons and his great hope for the future of the Church and how a return to sacredness is key.


The second talk was delivered by the keynote speaker Fr. Armand de Malleray (FSSP), who is the Chaplin to Juventutem international.  The talk is primarily concerned with the founding of Juventutem, which is a ministry of young adults for young adults, and for the whole church.  His view on how the groups can grow and spread are included in the talk. He also takes a number of questions from those attending on various topics.  I do hope you will enjoy!

+Please Pray, Pray, and Pray some more for the young adult groups like Juventutem and Sursum Corda (ICKSP)+

Seat of Wisdom, Pray for Us!!

A few upcoming St. Stanislaus (ICKSP) events to note and attend

Im getting off the internet for Lent, but I wanted to let you know about a few things:

I think it worthwhile to note a few upcoming events people are invited to regardless if they are parishioners at the Institutes Milwaukee apostolate.

The first is an upcoming Mass at Holy Hill

The second event is actually to be held at St. John Cantius in Chicago. New Liturgical Movement noted this event a while back here

The final event is a regular Sursum Corda meeting to be held March 28th after the 6:30 low mass.  Canon Jayr of the Institute will deliver a lenten reflection for all attending. Refreshments will be provided and people are invited afterwards to join in on some volleyball actions.
