SSPX Bishops’ Showdown: Fr. Cekada Radio Interview Live SSPX head Bp. Bernard Fellay is set to make a historic agreement with Benedict XVI regularizing the Society.

Our school children sing at their spring spaghetti dinner fundraiser. Bishop’s Corner I am writing this on the feast of the Mother of Good Counsel, who graciously shared that day’s honors with her Son’s first Evangelist, St. Mark. The Divine Child she holds and the Man-God held out by the first Gospel, both present to […]
Bishop’s Corner Last week, Low Week was high Spring for us, cool and sunny, with birds and a bunny (I spied one as I knelt to pray the other morning), all the sweeter because it came after such a short but strong taste of Summer last month. Christ is risen! Our Fr. Valeriy in Ukraine […]

Anthony Cekada, will join Restoration Radio to talk about this event and similar situations in SSPX in 1983, 1988, 2000, and 2007. • Date: Sunday, […]
Bishop’s Corner Happy and Holy Easter to you! As I pen these greetings, our “little village” at St. Gertrude the Great is humming with life and activity, as we prepare for the Triduum Sacrum. Now, “it is accomplished,” another Holy Week at St. Gertrude the Great and we bask in the sunshine of our Risen […]
Holy Week Schedule: Bishop’s Corner It seems that our early Spring burned through the calendar–and temperatures–in record time, doesn’t it? But last week’s Annunciation brought us a “grateful coolness in the heat,” one more image of God the Holy Ghost Who overshadowed the Virgin Mary. His refreshing shadow spanned two days of celebration for the […]

Bishop’s Corner It had to happen sooner or later, and it did, right here in River City: Drive-through Ashes for Ash Wednesday! Some Protestant lady minister of the Methodist persuasion was scheduled to be distributing ashes in her church parking lot. Other Protestants offered the formerly Catholic sacramental on sidewalks, near subway stops, or at […]
Bishop’s Corner This shortest month, February, has been impatiently stirring with Spring ever since sunny Candlemas cast its bright shadow on this month’s most glorious feast. The robins returned for Quinquagesima and our Broadway Blackbirds, with their stirring sky spectacles, have not yet closed their show since opening in Autumn, even though we are now […]
Bishop’s Corner Already, after an interval of only a few months, the Catholic Church has another priest forever. The fervent prayers of the faithful were answered, and all went well, beautifully, for the great day in Boston’s Sacred Heart Church. This church was beautifully restored by the Third Order Dominican Brothers there, who also gave […]
Bishop’s Corner You see the ground torn up today as you come to church, the first step towards completing the cloister. We hope at least to lay the foundation this Spring, though I pray we are able to go through to completion. This cloister project will improve our exterior appearance, and provide an enclosed garden […]
Bishop’s Corner February, shortest month of the year, is longest in the popular Catholic lore and cultural observances still recognized by “the world.” If you read your bulletin and remember some of the sermons, you’ll know why. It’s a good thing too, for in so doing you “redeem the time,” sanctifying these holidays and observances, […]
Bishop’s Corner We seem to have the worst weather of the year around January 22, such cold and ice. Heaven itself bears witness to the chilling reality of baby murder in our land. The weather seems to reflect the true temperature of Washington, DC; “the spirits of wickedness in high places,” and slippery politicians who […]
Bishop’s Corner Well, today is the Lord’s Day, as usual, every eight days. It belongs to God. In addition, it is a day of pro-life prayer, and for America’s conversion. I invite you to return to church to pray with us … this morning for the 11:10 AM Rosary, this afternoon for Vespers, and then […]
Bishop’s Corner Epiphany, the day of the Kings and feast of gifts, fell this year on a mild and bright First Friday. Fr. Lehtoranta’s First Solemn High Mass in the evening, offered for our church workers and helpers and benefactors, drew an unusually large congregation. What a beautiful gift to the Sacred Heart! The music, […]
Bishop’s Corner The Germans would say “eine wunderbare Weihnachten” a wonderful Christmas. Whether we speak of weather, or the ceremonies, or the peace of this wondrous season, we have such reason to thank Our Lord, Who is “wonderful in His works.” Yes, the weather has been wonderful! Autumn lingered until the New Year. Pansies prospered […]
Bishop’s Corner I wish you all a very happy New Year’s Day, and a truly happy new year, a holy one, in which you, and all of our faithful, will be found faithful, at least one day out of seven: the Lord’s Day. That way, on “the Day of the Lord” (the End of the […]
