Corpus Christi Procession
from a family at the Maria Friary of Our Lady of Guadalupe
This Sunday (6/14) the Friars in New Bedford will hold their annual Corpus Christi procession.
Our family was blessed with the opportunity to participate in this event 2 years ago and it was an incredible experience. Here's a link to watch the procession of 2007.
Typically the procession begins at 2:00 p.m. and there's a potluck in the basement of Our Lady's Chapel at around 5:00 p.m.
There are 3 stops along the way at the most gorgeous churches.
What better way to spend a Sunday then by accompanying Our Lord out into the community?

Franciscan order turns 800
The best known order in the Church turning 800, Praised be God, now and forever!
"Speaking to the Franciscans assembled Saturday at Castel Gandolfo, “The Pope recalled how St. Francis heard God’s voice telling him, ‘Repair my house,’ and he urged today’s Franciscans to continue those efforts of fixing the serious ‘ruins’ in society and mankind,” CNS reported.
“Like Francis, always begin with yourself,” Benedict said. “We are the first homes that God wants restored.”
I have a Friary of the Franciscans of the Immaculate close by, and I am so grateful for their gifts to the Church. I can go there for Perpetual Adoration, Latin Masses on feastdays, orthodox counsel, and wonderful Catholic fellowship. There is an air of peace at the Marian Friary of Our Lady of Guadalupe that is delightful and rare.
Happy Birthday Franciscans and their renewal offshoots, the Friars of the Immaculate and the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. (Fr. Luke, CFR, seen with me in this photo)
May God give you His peace.

The Roving Reporter at the Personhood Conference in Washington DC
Friars Didacus, Augustine and Roderic from Our Lady of Guadalupe in Griswold were ready to go down in Washington DC during the March for Life. Fra Roderic was able to "land a few big fish" when he stopped Fr Frank Pavone of Priests for Life for this interview and Dr Alan Keyes for this interview.
Here are more interviews with Lila Rose, and Fr Tom Vanderwoude, whose heroic father recently gave his life for Fr Tom's youngest brother Josie, with Down syndrome.

Holy priests terrify me with their predictions about the Obama administration
It began with Fr Corapis' dire warning, "Death Wish; the Impending Suicide of a Once Great Nation". Then, Fr Benedict Groeschel, in an address to a pro-life Conference predicted the decline of America in the same way Rome was conquered; from it's own sinful sloth. Then my own former pastor, Fr McCartney, who should have his own EWTN show, gave a homily last Sunday at his parish on Long Island, which left me hugging Christina, my daughter with Down syndrome and weeping for her future. (I will be linking to this earth-shaking homily next week when it is available online).
Now Fr Angelo Geiger from the Friary of Our Lady of Guadalupe here in Connecticut, quotes Fr Rutler's near comparison of Obama to the Anti-Christ.
This convergence of opinion from the priests I respect most is the most serious warning I have ever heard about the future of this nation.
If this does not inspire prayer and fasting on our part, then we are beyond hope. We who take the time to write and read Catholic blogs must be the messengers of the urgency of what is coming under President Barack Obama. This is what Rep Chris Smith called "A tsunami of the Culture of Death" in Congress, as he discussed Obama on "The World Over". Soon Congress will be reviving the dangerous "Fairness Doctrine" which is nothing less to shut down websites like these which proclaim the truth. There is discussion of a civilian police force which may someday be rounding up pro-life Catholics. I know this sounds incredible but Fr Groeschel told us how it happened to Rome, the most powerful empire of the world. It happened in Germany, and the entire world went to war to stop it. If the USA is under the totalitarian regime of the Culture of Death, who will go to war to save us, the most powerful nation on earth?
Conservative pundits are lulling us to sleep saying that the economy will keep President elect Obama so busy he won't have time to cause trouble on social issues, but this Washington Post article says differently. While the March for Life was outside the White House, President Clinton enacted three executive orders expanding abortion to military hospitals, halting the Mexico City Policy, and approving fetal tissue research. President Bush immediately issued orders in 2000, re-instating the Mexico City policy , and we can expect President Obama to use executive orders immediately to remove the ban on Federal Funding for embryonic stem cell research, and reverse the Mexico City Policy . Our limited monies will immediately be put to evil use in his first days in office. AND I haven't even mentioned the Freedom of Choice Act which will erase 35 years of painsaking progress on the state level to limit abortions.
Do you see the violent gay rights activists targeting Christians, Mormons and Catholics? Expect them to avoid prosecution, and gain special protection, while pro-life protesters are jailed as they were in the Clinton Administration. AND the media will keep up a wall of silence.
Then the darkness will close in. Get the word out before we no longer can!

Video of the Girard Family
Thom and Marc Girard died in a tragic drowning accident. Thom, a father if five, was a leader in the Knights of Lepanto Encampment, and Marc, 18, a recent HS grad was about to enter the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate Friary in Maine, NY.
Here is a video of their tragic story.
They are survived by Thom's wife Carol, and four children, Adam, 17, Jacqueline, 15, Lucas, 11, and Hannah 7. There have been several fundraisers for the Girard family including a Chicken Barbecue at the Voluntown Firehouse, and an a concert starring Eric Genius at the Norwich Free Academy where Marc graduated this year, on September 21.
A fund to help the family is set up at:
Bank of America

Our Lady of Guadalupe has a new Baldachino
I have recently been discovering the richness of The Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate, who will be taking over this breathtaking church this summer. They are at the forefront of the New Springtime of Evangelization.
