In all thy works remember thy last end, and thou
shalt never sin.
Ecclesiasticus 7:40

“Could You Not Watch One Hour With Me?” (Matt.26,
40)
Holy Hour of Adoration and Reparation Every Monday thru
Friday 5:00 to 6:00 PM
"He is The Bread sown in
the virgin, leavened in the Flesh, molded in His Passion, baked in the furnace
of the Sepulcher, placed in the Churches, and set upon the Altars, which daily
supplies Heavenly Food to the faithful."
St. Peter Chrysologus
(400-450)
As in the order of nature a child must have a father and a mother, so
likewise in the order of grace, a true child of the Church must have God for his
Father and Mary for his Mother; and if anyone should glory in having God for
his Father and yet has not the love of a true child for Mary, he is a deceiver,
and the only father he has is the devil.
St. Louis de Montfort, The Secret of Mary
But before all things have a constant mutual
charity among yourselves: for charity coevereth a multitude of sins.
1 Peter 4:8
Faithfully do what God
expects of you each moment, and leave the rest up to Him.
I assure you that living
in this manner will bring you great peace.
St. Jane Francis de
Chantal
Unless the Lord build a house, they labor in vain that build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
Ps. 126
What shall be given unto Thee, or what shall be added unto Thee, to a
deceitful tongue?
Sharp arrows of the mighty One, with destroying coals.
Ps. 119

And
Jesus answering, said:
You
know not what you ask.
Can
you drink the chalice that I shall drink?
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Every
Mass for Sunday and other Holy Days of Obligation are offered for the welfare
of the members of Ss. Peter & Paul Roman Catholic Mission.
Daily
Mass at the Chapel is again offered each weekday at 6:00 PM and 9:00AM on
Saturday and Sunday.
The
statue of St. Ann with the her child, the Blessed Virgin Mary will be placed in
the chapel tomorrow on the feast of St. Ann.
The
Mission has purchased a new tabernacle, monstrance, chalice and paten, and
green with the her child, the Blessed Virgin Mary will be placed in the chapel
tomorrow on the feast of St. Ann.
The
Mission has purchased a new tabernacle, monstrance, chalice and paten, and
vestments in green and violet.
Acting
upon a complaint made to the diocese of Harrisburg, the diocese of Harrisburg
contacted Bishop O’Brien of Baltimore who has forbidden Fr. Peterson under
obedience from helping Ss. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic Mission in the
future.
Bishop Joseph McFadden has been
appointed as the new bishop of Harrisburg Diocese. His welfare will be remembered at each Mass and Rosary of
Reparation offered in our chapel.
Appended below is the last letter sent to Brian Kisielnicki concerning the independent school
corporation. This letter has been
quoted repeatedly out of context and was used in the dramatic closure of Fr.
Tetherow’s sermon on Good Shepherd Sunday.
It is being offered now for clarification.
Acting under the advice of
expert legal counsel and that of a traditional priest who has provided
spiritual direction to this Mission for many years, Fr. Tetherow was removed as
chaplain of our religious society. He
no longer offers Mass at our Chapel.
This was done for cause.
Two previous requests were made
to Bill Fonticoba for the return of the Ss. Peter and Paul Roman Catholic
Mission financial records. He has not
complied with these requests consequently a letter was recently sent from the
Mission’s legal counsel again requesting the return of the records. He also has a laptop computer provided by
the Mission in his possession. Please
make sure that you maintain records of your personal contributions, which may
be necessary until the records are once again secured in the Mission’s
possession.

St. Ann Anne, Patroness of Christian Mothers
To St. Anne, God has given the power to aid in every necessity, because
Jesus, her Divine Grandchild according to the flesh, will refuse her no
petition, and Mary, her glorious daughter, supports her every request. Those
who venerate good St. Anne shall want for nothing, either in this life or the
next. Believe me, if you love and
venerate this Saint, you will experience how highly God esteems her. He grants
all she asks! It would be impossible to enumerate the many graces she obtains
daily for her servants.
Abbot John Trithemius
Anne is the glorious
tree from which bloomed a twig under Divine influence. She is the sublime
heaven from whose heights the Star of the Sea neared its rising. She is the
blessed barren woman, happy mother among mothers, from whose pure womb came
forth the shining temple of God, the sanctuary of the Holy Ghost, the Mother of
God.
St. Jerome
Blessed, thrice blessed
art thou, O Saint Anne, who didst receive from God and brought forth the
blessed child from whom proceeded Christ, the Flower of life! We congratulate
thee, O blessed Anne, on the dignity of being the mother of Mary, for thou hast
brought forth our common hope, the germ of Promise! All pious lips bless thee
in thy daughter, all languages glorify thy child! Worthy art thou above all
praise, worthy of the praise of all who are redeemed, for thou hast given life
to her who brought forth our Savior, Jesus Christ.
St. John Damascene
From her very
childhood, she possessed the fullness of every virtue. She was continually engaged
in devout meditation. Her unceasing prayer was that the Redeemer might come
soon.
St. Mary of Agreda
In desperate cases of
need, I always invoke the holy mother Anne.
Blessed Anna Catherine
Emmerich
We
do not doubt that the more love we show to the mother of Mary, the more we
merit the intercession and aid of the holy Virgin who brought forth the
only-begotten Son of God, Our Lord Jesus Christ.
Pope Gregory XV
We know and are convinced
that our good mother St. Anne helps in all needs, dangers and tribulations, for
Our Lord wishes to show us that He will do also in Heaven what she asks of Him
for us.
St. Teresa of Avila
How, then, is it that
dark forebodings are come terrifying the watchmen of the holy mount? Strange apparitions, fearful noises, have
deprived the sacred edifice of that calm and peace which become the house of
the Lord. At the Feast of Pentecost the
priests, who were fulfilling their ministry, have heard in the holy place a
commotion like that of a mighty multitude, and many voices crying out together:
‘Let us go hence!’ On another occasion,
at midnight, the heavy brazen gate which closed the sanctuary on the eastern side,
and which took twenty men to move it, has opened of itself. O temple, O temple, let us say it, with them
that witnessed these threatening prodigies, why art thou troubled? why workest
thou thine own destruction? Alas! we
know what awaits thee! The prophet
Zacharias foretold it when he said: ‘Open thy gates, O Libanus, and let fire
devour thy cedars!’
Dom Gueranger, The
Liturgical Year, Eight Sunday after Pentecost
An evil bishop, a bad priest, a layman in grievous
sin are dead members of the Body of Christ, and therefore not true members, if
we understand 'member' in the strict sense of an integral part of a living
body. However, these same 'dead members' are very vital members if we consider
them as instruments of activity within the Church. So that the Pope and bishops
are real heads, the teachers and preachers are real eyes and tongues of the
Body of Christ, even when they have fallen from the grace of God. For while it
is true that a Christian becomes a living member of this Body through charity,
yet in the Providence of God the instruments of operation in the Church are
constituted by the power of orders and jurisdiction, which can be obtained and
exercised even by a man who is personally an enemy of God.
Hence the great difference between a physical body,
in which a dead member cannot serve as a vital instrument, and the supernatural
Mystical Body, where this is not only possible but actually happens. To explain
the paradox we should recall that in natural bodies their work depends entirely
on the health and soundness of the organs by which they act. But the Mystical
Body of Christ can operate independently of the virtue and vitality of its
members, because the soul of this Body, which is the Holy Spirit, can function
equally through good instruments as through bad, through instruments that are
alive as through those which are dead.
St. Robert Bellarmine, On the Church Militant
Every
possible care must be taken to hold fast to that faith which has been believed
everywhere, always, and by everyone. He is a genuine Catholic who continues
steadfast in the faith, who resolves that he will believe those things - and
only those things- which he is sure the Catholic Church has held universally
and from ancient times. It is therefore an indispensable obligation for all
Catholics to adhere to the faith of the Fathers, to preserve it, to die for it
and, on the other hand, to detest the profane novelties of profane men, to
dread them, to harass them, and to attack them.
St.
Vincent of Lerins Commonitoria, PL 50:637
Ss. Peter & Paul
Roman Catholic Mission is constituted as a religious society. It is
canonically a pious union of Catholics but functions in the manner of a
confraternity. Like other confraternities, its constitution and governing
structure are intended to be fixed, dedicated toward a specific spiritual end,
for which members join together in common union to seek their own spiritual
perfection working toward a common end. Membership in the Mission is open
to any Catholic who subscribes to its corporate purpose and takes upon himself
the obligation to offer a daily Rosary of reparation to the Sorrowful and
Immaculate Heart of Mary, a weekly day of fast, preferably on Tuesday, and a
Holy Hour before the Blessed Sacrament at least once each month as a minimum
for the intentions of the Mission. The Mass intention offered each Sunday
and Holy Day are for members of the Mission.
Membership forms are located in the vestibule. If you are not a member of the Mission please consider becoming
one.


May Crowning and Public
Procession in Honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary
There is another issue that
must be faced calmly and without emotion.
This election shows in broad strokes the utter failure of the Second Vatican
Council. The promise of the entire
modernist thrust at Vatican II was to introduce change to make the Church more
“relevant” to modern man. Thus
our leaders abandoned the age-old magisterial teaching on the Social Kingship
of Christ in favor of an insipid dialogue with the world. They told governments of Catholic countries
to remove any reference to a “Catholic State” from their constitutions. Our leaders forsook the doctrine on the
Church as the one and only ark of salvation to favor a modernist ecumenism
always condemned by the perennial teaching of the centuries.
In the name of Vatican II, modern Church leaders undermined
doctrine, abandoned discipline, demoralized and persecuted faithful priests,
caused confusion among the faithful, promoted perverted sex-education (and
shouted down Catholic parents who objected to sex-ed in Catholic schools),
refused to rein in heretical priests and religious, and refused to discipline
pro-abortion politicians.
The net effect of Vatican II’s modernization is a weak,
effeminate, scandal-ridden and disoriented Church that, as this election
proves, has become utterly irrelevant to the thought-process of not only
the average American, but of the average American Catholic. Even the most basic issues of the natural
moral law, such as abortion and homosexuality, cannot be upheld by vast numbers
of Catholics who lined up to vote for the pro-abortion Senator from Illinois.
John
Vennari, editor, Catholic Family News
The Holy Spirit has not been promised to the
successors of Peter that, under His revelation, they might make known a new
doctrine, but in order that, with His assistance, they sacredly preserve and
faithfully set forth the revelation transmitted by the Apostles, that is to
say, the deposit of the faith.
Vatican Council I, Pastor Aeternus
The
gravity of sin is determined by the interval which it places between man and God;
now sin against faith, divides man from God as far as possible, since it
deprives him of the true knowledge of God; it therefore follows that sin
against faith is the greatest of all sins.
St.
Thomas Aquinas
Why the Church Requires Our Prayers for the
Sovereign Pontiff
The
Holy Ghost, who has guaranteed the infallible purity of the doctrine taught
officially from the apostolic Chair, has not pledged himself to protect in a
like degree from all failure either the virtue, or the private judgment, or
ever the administrative acts of the Sovereign Pontiff…Our Lord has willed that
to the prayers of all should be confided the charge of completing His work by
obtaining for the successors of Peter such preservative graces as do not of
themselves necessarily spring from the divine constitution of the Church.

Gueranger, The Liturgical Year, Feast of St. Leo II
