Sacred Heart and the unknown

I have been neglecting posting about our current situation at our parish. I haven't known how to deal with it and maybe, I still don't know what lies ahead. For those who have followed this blog, you know we love the traditional liturgy and have been nomads for quite some time. We finally felt drawn to a parish in Cincinnati that offers an Extraordinary Form Mass every Sunday and holy day and is also quite conservative for the ordinary form as well. This has gradually changed with the new pastor that came in this summer. Unfortunately, changes have come. So far, we can deal with most. Others who attended this Mass have already moved on(left). I am praying for God's Will. It is not a matter of us being attached to a parish as we were a year ago because of a school. But I really felt home in this parish...now I don't know.
If I was single, no big deal. But having children, a husband, uhg, causes anxiety and I am fighting it. The new pastor has no interest in getting to know those who attend the traditional Mass and it is obvious. We had a catered celebration when he first came and he was not present when the EF Mass attendees arrived. He took out the votive candles, wants girl servers, woman and girl "readers" and took out the significant information from the bulletin regarding our Mass and the traditional calender. So, I don't think I am too far off base in saying he doesn't care for my "kind". Sadly, the EF Mass attendees have been supportive financially and physically to the parish life. That is changing. Anyway, it saddens me and we will stay as long as we can and it is bearable. My son recently started serving, too. I will continue to pray. I just don't feel much stability in my life right now. Satan is fighting the traditional movement with a vengeance. We just want a home and stability. We have been through so much and I am not trustful of much right now. Now you know why I have been neglectful in posting on local church matters. I am hopeful for the long-term. I think we may have to go through quite a lot of garbage to get there. I need to just be okay with that and move on.
I pray we all stay well, healthy and sane. Why do I feel like that is too much to ask right now?

Some day in Covington...

Wonderful news!

Effective October 7, 2009, the feast of Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary, His Excellency Ronald W. Gainer, Bishop of Lexington, enacted the Statutes of the Regina Pacis Community of the Diocese of Lexington, creating a chaplaincy under which members of the Community may register in lieu of a parish. The chaplain of the Community serves as the pastor of its faithful under Canon Law.

The formal establishment of the Regina Pacis Community has been prayerfully awaited by its members and is an occasion of great joy and thanksgiving for all in the Diocese of Lexington who value the traditional sacramental rites of the Church. We are exceedingly grateful to Bishop Gainer and ask the prayers of all that this Community may thrive and provide spiritual benefits to all the faithful as part of the broader community of the Diocese.

The effect of my efforts

Just a quick note on the "effects" of the Tridentine and traditional form of Mass on my family. My son is in the shower singing "Hail Holy Queen" with much fervor. He also said at dinner "I'm really starting to get the Latin" and he was proud he knew "Dominus vobiscum".

We had a wonderful dinner with my folks and found out that Fr. Mitch Pacwa will be having the 12:30 Mass at Old St. Mary's in Cincinnati next Sunday. I looked on the online bulletin and did not see it but Fr. Juarez announced it today according to my mother. So for those of you in Cincinnati, this might be feasible. I am hoping to round up the kids for the chaplet before they go to bed.

The Latin Mass - The Quire of Voyces
I wanted to mention this wonderful CD. We have had it in the van for a bit and it is truly delightful. My children love it, its calming and it is hauntingly beautiful if you listen while driving through a spring rain or watching the morning sun rise out your window. Can you tell I am quite fond of this? I ordered a second for my parents and I have been waiting a few weeks now for it to arrive. My father heard it and loved it so I hope it was a good buy for them as well. Here is the website for the group:

You can give their work a listen either on Amazon or the groups site. Enjoy!
