UNA VOCE SOUTH GEORGIA NEWS

FOR ALL CATHOLICS IN THE EASTERN PART OF OUR STATE PLEASE CONSIDER ATTENDING THIS EVENT, HELP SPREAD THE WORD, BELOW IS THE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM UNA VOCE SOUTH GEORGIA

Another great event will be happening within driving distance that we want to inform you about. Fr. Chad Ripperger, well known exorcist and public speaker will be coming to Columbia to give a talk and answer questions early next month. If you are not familiar with his talks, just google his name and you will find plenty on YouTube and elsewhere. He is not a sensationalist with wild exorcism stories that put your hair on end, but rather very even-keeled and measured in his talks and Q & A sessions covering all sorts of topics related to the faith and the spiritual realm. Listening to him is always well worth the time spent.

Fr. Ripperger will be at Our Lady of the Lake in Chapin, SC the evening of Thursday, March 9th. There will be a reception starting around 5:30pm and his family talk will likely begin somewhere around 6:30. If you can make it, please do! There is no fee for admission, though I'm sure our traditional Catholic counterparts in Columbia who are organizing this event would appreciate donations if you were willing to help them defray the cost of bringing Father in. Also, if you are not subscribed to their emails, reach out to tlm4columbia@gmail.com to keep apprised of their events. They have a wonderful traditional community with a weekly Latin Mass, frequent processions on major feasts, and guest speaker events like this one, and they are only a little over an hour up the road from Augusta. Augusta Latin Mass is committed to building a stronger relationship with them in the coming months and years. If you can make it to this talk to listen to Fr. Ripperger and maybe meet some of the wonderful folks in Columbia, please do!

ATLANTA ARCHDIOCESE ISSUES NEW DECREE EFFECTIVE EASTER SUNDAY

 

NEW LEGISLATION FOR LATIN MASS EFFECTIVE EASTER 2023 FOR THE ARCHDIOCESE OF ATLANTA

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE NEW LEGISLATION DOES NOT AFFECT THE FSSP PARISH OF ST FRANCIS DE SALES IN MABLETON-THIS AFFECTS EVERYONE ELSE EXCEPT THE FSSP, IT IS BUSINESS AS USUAL AT ST FRANCIS DE SALES. (Below is verbatim from the bishop)

Traditional Latin Mass and Novus Ordo New legislation in the Archdiocese of Atlanta 

In the past months, some of you have sent questions regarding the Latin Mass and Novus Ordo masses “ad orientem”. The Motu Propio Traditionis Custodes deals with the Missale Romanum of 1962 only, it does not deal with the entire liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council. The Reform of the Second Vatican Council permits priests 1 Can. 534 §1. After a pastor has taken possession of his parish, he is obliged to apply a Mass for the people entrusted to him on each Sunday and holy day of obligation in his diocese. If he is legitimately impeded from this celebration, however, he is to apply it on the same days through another or on other days himself. §2. A pastor who has the care of several parishes is bound to apply only one Mass for the entire people entrusted to him on the days mentioned in §1. §3. A pastor who has not satisfied the obligation mentioned in §§1 and 2 is to apply as soon as possible as many Masses for the people as he has omitted. 2 Ibid §2 3 Ibid §1 4 Ibid §3 to celebrate the Novus Ordo ad orientem in Latin and in the vernacular. However, it leaves to the Diocesan bishop if he allows his priests to celebrate pubicly in those forms as they see fitting in their ministry to the people of God or “ad casum”, meaning only with the explicit request of the priest and the explicit permission from the Diocesan bishop, in this case the Archbishop. If approved, the Archbishop must seek the permission of the Vatican for each request. Historically, the request have been denied. Now, the sacraments and sacramentals in accord with the Missale Romanum of 1962 are celebrated at Saint Francis de Sales parish in Mableton, GA., where the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter serves so diligently. At Saint Monica parish in Duluth, GA., only the sacrament of the Eucharist in celebrated in accord with the Missale Romanum of 1962 on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation at 8:15 AM. All the other sacraments and sacramentals are in the vernacular. After consultation with the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, starting on the Solemnity of the Resurrection of the Lord, (April 9, 2023) all the priests and bishops assigned or residing in the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Atlanta that want to celebrate publicly: 1. The Extraordinary Form of the Mass (except: Saint Francis de Sales and Saint Monica) 2. Novus Ordo ad orientem in Latin 3. Novus Ordo ad orientem in the vernacular 4. Novus Ordo versus populum in Latin 5. All sacraments and sacramentals in the form previous to the liturgical reform of the Second Vatican Council must request, by formal letter, permission from the Archbishop. The letter should include the rationale for such celebration. I urge you to read or re-read the Apostolic Letter Desiderio Desideravi, on the liturgical formation of the people of God, and personally get involved in the decision-making that guarantees the decorum, order and nobility of your liturgical celebrations at your parishes and places of worship.

CANDLEMAS ATLANTA ARCHDIOCESE

Candlemas 

 

Saint Blaze Blessing

THE ONLY CANDLEMASS IN GEORGIA 

Unfortunately, the only place to assist at Candlemas or receive the traditional Saint Blaze Blessing in our state will be at the FSSP parish in the Atlanta Archdiocese. There will be a high Candlemas at St Francis de Sales in Mableton tomorrow February 2nd at 7:00 pm. The blessing of candles and procession precede the mass. Bring your candles for the blessing and make sure your name is on them. When you take a candle from the priest, you kneel then you kiss the candle first then kiss the priest's hand and take the candle. Your lighted candle is held during the Gospel. At home these candles are lit for prayers after dusk on All Saints Day, Extreme Unction, and during storms. These candles will be used by the priests on the following day for the blessing of throats on St Blaze's Day. It is traditional to eat crepes on this day.
