For some reason, I forgot to publish this video on here.

On Sunday March 14, Laurence Gonzaga, Andrew Hedstrom, Vincent Padilla III, Josef Seno, Luke Enkosky, Josh McAleese, Dana Cash, Mark Lysecky and Benny Barrios, as an activity of Una Voce San Bernardino (www.unavocesb.org), traveled to the Norbertine Abbey of St. Michael’s in Silverado, CA. We were there to take part in a 14.3 mile pilgrimage organized by Una Voce Orange County (www.uvoc.org), from the Abbey to the Mission San Juan Capistrano Serra Chapel. For the majority of the pilgrimage we were accompanied by a Norbertine priest and the prior of the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem, who trailed about 50 yards behind the procession hearing confessions. A priest who celebrates the Latin Mass for UVSB in Perris, the Rev. Fr. Paul Schmidt, SVD also came on pilgrimage with us. We departed the Abbey at 9 AM and arrived at the Chapel about 40 minutes prior to the scheduled 6 PM Latin Tridentine Low Mass said by a Norbertine Father. For two people in our group, Josh McAleese and Benny Barrios, it was their first time assisting at the Latin Mass. Though they were admittedly a little disoriented in the distinctly ancient form, they said after the Mass, in discussion with UVSB President Laurence Gonzaga, that they thought the Mass was very beautiful and reverent and were interested in continuing to assist at this form if it was available. They were informed that in our own diocese, there are 4 churches which offer this Ancient Liturgy: San Secondo D’Asti (Ontario, 10:30 AM, All Sundays), St. James (Perris, 6 PM, 1st and 3rd Sundays), Christ the Good Shepherd (Adelanto, 5 PM, 2nd Sundays), and Sacred Heart (Palm Desert, 2:30 PM, All Sundays). By the grace of God, more parishes in our diocese will offer this form of the Mass which nourished the Saints of God for 1500 years. This is the apostolate of Una Voce. For more information about the Latin Mass, please visit the UVSB website. We wish to be in solidarity with the will of Pope Benedict XVI when he explained his desire that every priest may now be able to celebrate this form of the Mass in 2007 when he wrote:

“In the history of the liturgy there is growth and progress, but no rupture. What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too, and it cannot be all of a sudden entirely forbidden or even considered harmful. It behooves all of us to preserve the riches which have developed in the Church’s faith and prayer, and to give them their proper place.”

Educational Conferences

The Latin Mass: The Journal of Catholic Culture and Tradition and Keep The Faith are proud to present the following regional conferences for Catholics - especially those committed to the timeless spiritual treasures of the traditional Mass.

Surviving the New Kulturkampf

From 1871 to 1878 Otto Von Bismarck waged a Kulturkampf (”culture struggle”) against the Catholic in Germany, aimed at destroying all remaining Catholic influence over German social order. Bismarck faced the opposition of a militant Pope, Blessed Pius IX, and courageous German bishops. Today, Catholics in America and throughout the Western world find themselves in the midst of a new Kulturkampf, but with very few (if any) bishops willing to fight against it in any effective way and the Pope unable to dispel the Church’s debilitating post-conciliar malaise. The homosexual movement, Big Abortion, “hate crimes” and “hate speech” laws, ever-increasing government snooping, and looming control of the Internet all threaten the freedom of Catholics to be Catholics in an increasingly hostile society. Our three speakers will address what the Catholic faithful can do to protect themselves and their loved ones in these times that try Catholic souls.
