Sanctuary Renovation Campaign
July 12th, 2019
We present some pictures to show the new altar in place!
The altar itself, as well as the gradine and tabernacle are here in place. These consist of two separate but integral pieces - of incredible weight!
The central tower, another integral piece of the altar assembly is going up in this photo. Two oak columns are also a part of this piece and were added at the last moment as it was set into place.
Our new High Altar. This was one of about six side altars from a closed Franciscan monastery in Belgium. The five carved panels (the two retables and three symbols on the altar itself) came from a different altar and were very slightly modified to fit into the oak framing of this altar assembly. It's proportions are very good and admirably fits into space in our oratory.

In counterpoint to the opening of the summit on abuse in Rome,
the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem are launching at the same time
a fundraising campaign to renovate the sanctuary and choir of their church.
This is a sign of the vitality of their priestly community and the ever increasing number of faithful
who benefit by their preaching, celebration of the Sacraments and other pastoral works.
Please...

- and please also share this announcement with as many others
who may wish to support this sign of genuine spiritual and doctrinal vigor
in the Church of our days!

Sermon for the Seventh Sunday After Pentecost 2019
Dearly Beloved,
Today we mark the seventh Sunday after Pentecost. The Gospel is taken from the Sermon on the Mount, and
the epistle from the Romans, and both speak of the fruits of good and evil lives. If we use the imagery of a tree
as Christ does, each [ ... ]
Sermon for the Sixth Sunday After Pentecost 2019
Dearly Beloved,
Today we mark the sixth Sunday after Pentecost, and, as is the case with so many of the summer
Sundays, while the Epistle and Gospel are worthy of meditation, the Collect is a perfect example
of Roman brevity and poetry: “O God of [ ... ]
Sermon for the Fifth Sunday After Pentecost 2019
My Beloved,
as the Sunday cycle of Masses unfolds during this time after Pentecost the liturgy tends consistently toward one object: the deepening of our union of souls with Jesus Christ. There is, however, an indispensable prerequisite for this union [ ... ]

Sermon for the Fourth Sunday After Pentecost 2019
Dominus illuminatio mea. . . The Lord is my light and my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the defense of my life, of what, then, should I be afraid?

Sermon for the Third Sunday After Pentecost 2019
Dearly Beloved,
Today we mark the 3rd Sunday after Pentecost, formerly the Sunday within the Octave of the Sacred Heart. The Gospel clearly relates to the feast which the Church celebrated two days ago, for Our Lord’s parables tell us of His [ ... ]

Sermon for the Feast Of Corpus Christi 2019
Dearly Beloved,
In the sequence for today’s Mass, St. Thomas Aquinas writes,
Quantum potes, tantum aude:
Quia major omni laude,
Nec laudáre súfficis.
Colloquially translated: As much as you can, dare to praise; but even if all praise were given, [ ... ]
