PASTOR'S NOTES
This week we observe the Ember Days. The observance of Ember Days is a venerable tradition in the Roman Church. Four times each year, at the change of the seasons, the Wednesday, Friday and Saturday are given as days of prayer and fasting. These days are set aside to ask God's blessings on the new season and to pray for those who will be ordained on Ember Saturday. The rest of the Roman Church no longer commemorates these days, so we are blessed to still have them in our calendar.Help will be needed to stain the shed that was obtained for the parish. I will try to put a work day together before the weather changes.
I continue to be grateful for those who act as ushers for the parish. This role is one which both emulates the hospitality of the Benedictines and the protection of the papal guards in Rome who stand as sentinels to protect the Church and the Pope. These men play a similar role for the parish. Any interested in assisting in this role can speak to me. In the future I hope to be able to address these men and personally thank them for their role.
May God continue to bless all of you.
-Fr. Gregory Pendergraft, FSSP
