The Mass of Ordination was offered on Friday, May 31, 2013 at 7:30pm, at St. John Cantius Church. Hundreds of parishioners, friends, and family joined Cardinal George for this wonderful occasion. Several visiting clergy were in attendance, including the Most Rev. Joseph N. Perry, Auxiliary Bishop of Chicago and the Very Rev. Douglas Mosey, Rector of Holy Apostles Seminary in Cromwell, CT, Rev. Gregoire Fluet, professor at Holy Apostles Seminary, and Rev. Regis N. Barwig, prior of the Community of Our Lady in Oshkosh, WI.

God bless the Canons of St John Cantius. When I lived in Connecticut I would see a few of them at the Latin Mass community where I worshiped. The seminary the Canons use, Holy Apostles, is nearby in Cromwell, CT. They should be a fine group of young servants to our Lord Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteThank you, The Rad Trad, as always.
ReplyDeleteThe Canons of St. John Cantius are a magnificent Catholic Order and a wonderful Blessing for the good folk of Chicago.
It pleases me greatly to be able to visit their web-site at http://www.canons-regular.org/ and make the occasional purchase.
To know that my small pocket money helps to maintain the Divine Work of their Order and helps to maintain their beautifully-restored Church, is extremely fulfilling and I urge all Catholics, world-wide, to consider doing something similar, if at all possible.
But the greatest contribution, of course, would be to put the Canons Of St. John Cantius on ones Daily Prayer List. That should work wonders.
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
