The June calendar has been posted. We encourage you to notice and appreciate the richness of the meaningful liturgy of the pre-1955 liturgical celebrations, its clarity and encompassing way of presenting –through the hands of the priest– our prayers to the Lord, in unity with all the traditional intentions and orations the Holy Mother Church instructs us to recall in all Masses of the month. The pre-Bugnini liturgy is, without doubt, the best and most coherent way of defending our traditional Catholic faith in the present time.
The month of June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Our Lord Jesus Christ, and begins directly after the conclusion of the Pentecost Octave, and includes two moveable Feasts of Our Lord related to the cause of our Redemption: Corpus Christi, and the Sacred Heart. Other Feasts of special note are those of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, and the Holy Apostles Peter and Paul. All four of the aforementioned Feasts have their own octaves. The Feast of the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary is transferred to June 1 this year, due to Trinity Sunday occurring on May 31. We also recall the anniversary of the second of Our Lady of Fatima’s apparitions on June 13.
The Society of the Most Holy Redeemer celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of Perpetual Help on Saturday, June 27, and we invite all to join with us in praying a novena in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary under this title beginning on June 18. Our Society also remembers Bl. Gennaro Maria Sarnelli, CSsR, one of St. Alphonsus de Liguori’s earliest companions, who died on June 30, 1744.
