Announcements
After our last Mass on June 5th, there will be Benediction and Litanies of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Litaniae de Sacratissimo Corde Iesu) and of Saint Joseph (Litaniae Sancti Ioseph). Copies of the litany prayers in Latin and English will be placed at the front entrance table, and all are encouraged to join the choir in chanting the responses. There will not be Vespers on this day, as we will have a community meeting downstairs in the parish hall after Mass to discuss the future direction and plans for the Latin Mass in our local parishes. Feel free to either bring food to share as we will have potluck dinner, or make a donation towards drinks and paper goods.

Last Mass in the Extraordinary Form at St. Joseph's Church
Dear friends in Christ:
It is with sadness but not without hope for the future that it is announced that Mass in the Extraordinary Form at St. Joseph parish in Fitchburg will terminate on June 5th. The reasons are of simple practicality and a realistic evaluation of the fact that after almost one year of having the Traditional Latin Mass at this parish, the number of attendees has not increased and is not sufficient to maintain basic expenditures. The various considerations which affect growth, including Mass time, location, and proximity to other Traditional Latin Masses in the diocese may all be considered in our decisions for future directions. We will thus meet after our last Mass on June 5th downstairs in the parish hall (at our community potluck) for discussion and planning. We have been blessed with many resources including a highly trained choir director and full choir, experienced M.C.’s and many trained servers in addition to a congregation with a sincere love of our Catholic liturgical heritage. On an encouraging note, the Vatican has just issued instructions for the implementation of Summorum Pontificum with explanatory notes to be used as guidelines for the establishment of the Extraordinary Form Mass in local parishes. For further reading, see: Universae Ecclesiae
and the explanatory guidelines.
All of us have shared the heart- felt sorrow of the closing of such a beautiful church as Immaculate Conception , and we are very grateful to Father Trainor for welcoming us at St. Jospeh’s. We have also shared much liturgical splendor in giving glory to God in reverential worship, and we express our undying gratitude to Father Phillipson who has shepherded us through the past two years. Let us strive to continue our efforts in promoting the Extraordinary Form Mass in our local parishes and prayerfully seek the will of God.

Any who would like to attend the very inspiring movie “Of Gods and Men” is invited, and feel free to invite others. It is playing at a very limited number of theaters (other closest location is Cambridge, MA), and is only playing for one week in Keene.
Rated: PG-13 – for a momentary scene of startling wartime violence, some disturbing images and brief language; 120 minutes. Under threat by fundamentalist terrorists, a group of Trappist monks stationed with an impoverished Algerian community must decide whether to leave or stay. (Based on true events).

Ticket Costs: Adults $8; students/ seniors $6
When: This Sunday May 15 at 5pm; we will leave St. Joseph’s after Vespers by 3:30pm- should be enough time to drive to Keene. People may carpool if they like.

Some Announcements:
--For those who missed Father Phillipson’s Day of Recollection “Prayer, Penance and Peace”, his spiritual conferences are available for purchase on CDs:
http://catholicism.org/
Father gave some excellent and much needed teaching on the integration of the emotional life with the spiritual life according to the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas.
--Upcoming new Hymns, etc. for Vespers will be posted to the community blog ahead of time. See the Sunday Vespers section at the top of the blog page.
--This new movie does not yet have a release date, http://www.cristiadafilm.com/, but it would be a good film for a Latin Mass Community movie and/or dinner night. We will pick a Sunday to attend (after Vespers), probably at a local Fitchburg theater, and those who wish to could also go out to dinner afterwards (probably at Il Forno’s.) Plot Summary: "Cristiada," centered on the 1926-29 Cristeros war, touched off by a rebellion over the Mexican government's 1917 attempt to remove the influence of the Catholic Church and secularize the country.

Some Announcements:
Palm Sunday Mass on April 17th will begin at 1:30PM (instead of 12:30PM) as Father will be arriving a little late. Before the Mass is the Blessing of the Palms, which includes an Antiphon, Psalms, and Gospel reading. The palms are distributed to the people at the kneelers. The priest will hold the palm near your lips so that you can kiss it and then his hand. Then comes the Procession with hymns, when we carry the palms either around the church or outside, weather permitting, and then the Mass, during which there is a very long recitation of the Passion. Prepare for a very long Mass! Vespers will not be held on this day.
On Easter Sunday, we will have fruits and desserts after Mass (12:30PM Mass time). Bring goodies to share if you are able. We will have a few games for the children with prizes. (Vespers will be held at the usual time).
On May 1, Divine Mercy Sunday, we will pray the Divine Mercy chaplet in front of a blessed image of the Divine Mercy along with Vespers (with a commemoration of St. Joseph) and Benediction at 2:45PM. Instead of community pot luck on May 1, we will have our Easter celebration dinner at Il Forno's, 27 Airport Road, Fitchburg at 4:30 PM (after the Divine Mercy celebrations). There will be wine and dessert for everyone. RSVP : sedessapientia@verizon.net
Children are welcome. There will only be one bill, so every family will keep track of their own tab (cash only). March 6, 2011

Each Antiphon addresses Our Lord with a unique title which comes from prophecies about the coming of the Messiah, and whose initials, when read backwards, form an acrostic for the Latin "Ero Cras" which means "Tomorrow I come." http://www.fisheaters.com/customsadvent10.html

Feast of Christ the King
For the Feast of Christ the King on Sunday, October 31, we will recite the Act of Dedication of the Human Race to Jesus Christ King. Along with the usual conditions, this allows for one to to gain a plenary indulgence. Copies of the prayer will be placed at the entrance and front tables. Benediction and Vespers will take place in the church, beginning at 2:40pm.
All are invited to refreshments downstairs in the Parish hall at 2PM, and to participate in a discussion as to the preferred Mass time for the Feast of the Immaculate Conception on Wednesday Dec. 8.
Remember that on Tuesday, November 2, All Souls Day, a plenary indulgence can be gained for the souls in Purgatory by visiting a Church and reciting one Our Father and the Creed. On all the days from November I though November 8 inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray for the departed.
To acquire a plenary indulgence it is necessary to perform the work to which the indulgence is attached and to fulfill the following three conditions: sacramental confession (up to a week before or after, one confession suffices for gaining several plenary indulgences), eucharistic Communion, and prayer for the intention of the Sovereign Pontiff. It is further required that all attachment to sin, even venial sin, be absent. If the latter disposition is in any way less than perfect or if the prescribed three conditions are not fulfilled, the indulgence will be partial only,
