Feast of Saint Philip Benizi

Don’t forget!!!

Mass in St. Paul’s Church, Emo, Co. Laois, Ireland, at 11 a.m., on Saturday, 30th August. The Bishop of Kildare and Leighlin has granted the Plenary Indulgence of the Holy Year of St. Paul to all those who attend this Mass, under the usual conditions.

After Mass, we also hope to visit Emo Court, which is an estate across the road from St. Paul’s Church. The house was built in 1790 by James Gandon for the Earls of Portarlington. The house and grounds are now maintained by an agency of the Irish State, the Office of Public Works. Our visit coincided with ‘Heritage Week’, so please let us know if you are planning to attend, so that we can let the staff know in advance how large our group will be.

Feast of Saint Joachim

A certain Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger celebrated the Traditional Latin Mass and ordained Priests for the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter some years ago. Where does a Cardinal go from there?
