An important article by Peter Kwasniewski that speaks of the clarity of Traditional Catholicism as to our relationship with islam.
“Unlike Pope Francis, who co-signed with a Moslem leader a declaration that asserts, inter alia, that God wills a plurality of religions, St Peter Mavimenus spoke the truth with simplicity and fortitude.”

Lenten Fast and Exceptions
You are bound to whatever promise you make to God, though our diocese observes the following concerning Lent.
We are encouraged to fast throughout Lent. Everyday but Sunday is a FAST day meaning one big meal and two smaller meals. Liquids are ok throughout the day.
Every Lenten Friday, Ash Wednesday Ember days and Good Friday are also abstinence days (no meat, excepting fish and cold blooded animals). Sundays are free from dietary penance.
The following days are also diocesan feasts and are dispensed from the Fasts- you may also dispense from your Lenten promise depending on the nature of your promise (if you promised “Lord, I will do XYZ for the 40 days of Lent then keep that). These days are: 7th March (St Thomas Aquinas – just past), 17th March (St Patrick), 21st March St Benedict), 24th March (St Gabriel), 25th March (Annunciation), and 3rd April (Our Lady of Good Hope).
Schedule Changes
Note this coming Wednesday 13th April, 2019: Mass will be held at 6:30pm due to a scheduling conflict.
For the entirety of Lent Friday Mass will be at 2pm and Stations of the Cross held at 3pm.

And closer to home collection money has been funding projects that are anti-Christ.
“The Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD), an agency of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), annually provides anywhere from $9 million to $15 million to political agitation groups every year. For fiscal year 2017-2018, the CCHD issued a total of $10,418,500 in grant money to such organizations. The problem is that every year, despite constant denials and promises, the CCHD funds organizations that are directly promoting abortion, homosexuality, Marxism, or heresy, or they are members of coalitions that do these things, or their leadership is involved in them. And this last grant cycle is no different.” Read more here.
Don’t despair- all of this was foretold. TAKE ACTION. Choose BOLDLY for our Lord and support or join valid and administratively
separate Catholic jurisdictions. Our Lord would not, does not approve of this fraud and circus.
Do not be fooled by the pretenders.
