The Best New Year's Resolutions

Thanks to a Friend for kindly sending in the following suggestion for a good, Catholic New Year's resolution. Managing body weight and our spending/saving habits aren't the only things we should be mindful of. 

-------------------

First Friday – every First Friday of the month

With the intention, in the heart, of making reparation to the

Sacred Heart of Jesus for the sins committed against Him.

• Go to Mass and receive communion in a state of grace

First Saturday - on 5 Consecutive First Saturdays of the Month:

With the intention, in the heart, of making reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the sins committed against her, her name, her initiatives and images of her.

• Go to Confession (8 days before or after)

• Go to Mass and Receive Communion in a state of grace

• Say a five-decade rosary

• Meditate on one or more of the mysteries of the rosary for 15 minutes

Feast of the Immaculate Conception

A reminder that December 8 is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of Our Lady and a day of obligation. Latin Mass times are below.

And a special note from Fr Godic:

Father Bede will be the celebrant and Father Godic, pastor, will preach the sermon." 

Support Your Local Schola

Cleveland TLM Friends was asked to post the following.


I'm Jeffrey Quick, Schola director for the Latin Mass at St. Sebastian. A High Mass requires music. Music requires musicians. The music at our Masses is provided by volunteers (not professionals), and there are never enough of them. If you have any musical experience or ability at all, you should be singing in a Schola. Naturally, I'd like you to sing in MY Schola (rehearsal Tues.night 8-9:30; and 12:15 before the 1:00 Mass), which does easier part music in addition to chant. But St. Stephens and Immaculate Conception need singers as well. If you go to these parishes regularly, you have a feel for how they are: a little more chant at St. Stephens, a lot more polyphony at the Mac. One or more of these will match your skill level and schedule. So look at yourself and your life, talk to God about it, and then contact one of us:
