In the Immaculata Church in Saint Mary’s, Kansas, one can pray before these relics of St. Pius X: his shoes and his papal cassock.
St. Pius X, pray for us!

Happy feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary! St. John Eudes, Apostle of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, called it the "feast of feasts." ❤️❤️
Collect of the Mass of the Immaculate Heart, August 22:
"Almighty everlasting God, Who in the heart of the blessed Virgin Mary didst prepare a dwelling worthy of the Holy Ghost: grant in Thy mercy, that we who with devout minds celebrate the feast of that Immaculate Heart, may be able to live according to Thine own Heart. Amen."
August 19 is the feast day of St. John Eudes, a French missionary, founder of two religious orders, and a great devotee of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary. He was born in 1601, ordained in 1625, died in 1680, and was canonized in 1925.
"Never separate what God has so perfectly united. So closely are Jesus and Mary bound up with each other that whoever beholds Jesus sees Mary; whoever loves Jesus, loves Mary; whoever has devotion to Jesus, has devotion to Mary." - St. John Eudes
St. John Eudes, zealous lover of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary, pray for us!

Happy feast of the Assumption of Our Lady! We will be closed on August 15th to observe this holy day of obligation.
This majestic statue located behind the main altar of the Cathedral of Chartres in France, helps us meditate on the beauty of the mystery of Our Lady's Assumption into heaven.
Since the 9th century, Chartres Cathedral has housed a most precious relic: the Veil of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Every year on August 15th, Our Lady's Veil is carried in a grand procession through the streets of Chartres.
We will be praying before the Veil of Our Lady this October during our "Catholic Shrines of France" pilgrimage!
August 8 is the feast of the Holy Curé of Ars, St. John Vianney (1786-1859). He was Ars’ parish priest for more than forty years, and he is the patron saint of parish priests. When we visit the little town of Ars on our pilgrimages to France, we pray before his incorrupt body in the old church where the saint preached. We also see the confessionals where he spent most of his time, and we visit the modest house where he lived next to the church.
St. John Vianney, pray for us, for our priests, and for our parishes!
Act of Love of the Holy Curé of Ars
I love you, O my God. My only desire is to love you, until the last breath of my life. I love you, O infinitely lovable God, and I prefer to die loving you, rather than to live for an instant without you. I love you, O my God, and I desire only to go to heaven, to have the happiness of loving you perfectly. I love you, O my God, and my only fear is to go to hell, because one will never have the sweet solace of loving you there. O my God, if my tongue cannot say at all times that I love you, at least I want my heart to repeat it to you as many times as I breathe. Ah! Do me the grace: to suffer while loving you, to love you while suffering, and, that when I die: I not only will love you, but experience it in my heart. I beg you that: the closer I come to my final end, you will increase and perfect my love for you. Amen.

Happy feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel! On July 16, 1251, the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to St. Simon Stock, holding the brown scapular in one hand and she said, "Receive, my beloved son, this scapular of thy Order; it is the special sign of my favor, which I have obtained for thee and for thy children of Mount Carmel. He who dies clothed with this habit shall be preserved from eternal fire. It is the badge of salvation, a shield in time of danger, and a pledge of special peace and protection."
May we wear the scapular worthily and always increase our love and devotion to the Mother of God!
Prayer to the Blessed Mother of Mount Carmel:
Oh most beautiful flower of Mt. Carmel, fruitful vine, splendor of Heaven, Blessed Mother of the Son of God, Immaculate Virgin, assist me in my necessity. Oh Star of the Sea, help me and show me you are my Mother. Oh Holy Mary, Mother of God, Queen of Heaven and earth, I humbly beseech you from the bottom of my heart to succor me in necessity (make request). There are none that can withstand your power. Oh Mary, conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee (say three times). Holy Mary, I place this prayer in your hands (say three times). Amen.

St. Maria Goretti was born into a poor agricultural Italian family in October of 1890. She was one of 6 children and her parents subsequently settled in Lazio to share a large farm dwelling with the Serenelli family, not far from Nettuno.
After the death of her father in 1900, Maria began receiving advances from Alessandro Serenelli who was 8 years her senior. These culminated in a final violent attack on Maria on July 5, 1902 with Serenelli using an awl to overcome her resistance. He stabbed her 14 times. Maria was subsequently transferred to Orsenigo Hospital in Nettuno but tragically died the following day from septicemia, but not before forgiving Alessandro Serenelli.
Alessandro Serenelli spent 27 years of a 30-year prison sentence before entering into the service of the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor in a convent in Macerata, Le Marche, as a gardener and porter.
Maria Goretti was canonized by Pope Pius XII on June 24, 1950. Her mother and her murderer assisted at the ceremony.
She is the patron saint of young people, and her feast day is July 6th.
St. Maria Goretti, pray for us and for our youth!
Our visit to Prague was incredible. We started the day with the Church of Our Lady Victorious, which houses the miraculous statue of the Holy Infant of Prague. Then, we visited Prague’s Cathedral dedicated to St. Vitus, a 3rd-century martyr of the Christian persecutions. The relics of King St. Wenceslas, the first Czech saint, and of St. John Nepomuk, martyr of the seal of the confessional, are enshrined in the cathedral. Afterwards, we visited the Royal Palace, seat of Bohemian princes. Outside the palace is St. George’s Basilica, housing the relics of the martyr St. Ludmilla, grandmother and tutor of St. Wenceslas.
🇨🇿
We had such a pleasant surprise in Prague when we ran into some visiting seminarians from Zaitzkofen! They hailed from Croatia, the Czech Republic, and Germany. They joined us for dinner at one of Prague's many outstanding restaurants. 🍻
🇨🇿
Holy Mass celebrated by Bishop Fellay in the chapel of the SSPX General House in Menzingen, Switzerland.
🇨🇭
The last day of our Pilgrimage from Ecône to Prague with Bishop Fellay! We will never forget it! 🙏🏻❤️
🇨🇭 🇩🇪 🇨🇿
Traveling with Bishop Fellay has been such a privilege and a blessing! Not only do we enjoy his amiable company and attend the Masses he celebrates, but we also see all the visited sites through his eyes, as he explains the Catholic history of these beautiful countries (Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic) and the heritage we have been handed down as Catholics. It makes us love and appreciate our Faith all the more! Thank you, your Excellency!!
🇩🇪
Sightseeing and shopping in Regensburg, Germany! We absolutely loved visiting this beautiful city. The cooler weather made for a lovely walk.
🇩🇪
There is nothing like living the pilgrimage experience with family or friends. Traveling together and sharing these blessings and memories only brings us closer! We are so happy and grateful for each day of our pilgrimage!
In Einsiedeln, Switzerland, we prayed before the Black Madonna, resplendent in rich robes and surrounded by gold clouds. She is venerated above the altar of the Lady Chapel, inside the church of the magnificent Benedictine Abbey of Einsiedeln. She is also known as "Our Lady of the Hermits".
Our Lady of Einsiedeln, pray for us!
🇨🇭
Today's visit to Herz Jesu SSPX Seminary in Zaitzkofen, Germany, was a real treat. After a warm welcome, Bishop Fellay celebrated Holy Mass for our pilgrimage group at the seminary chapel.
The Sacred Heart of Jesus Seminary is an 18th-century castle built by the Counts of Königsfeld. The austere beauty and isolation of the Lower Bavarian landscape is very conducive to a life of prayer, study, and preparation for the priesthood. A special gem is the beautiful castle park behind the seminary.
A novitiate for lay Brothers is also located here. The Brothers take care of the church decorations and sacristy, the kitchen, the caretaker service, and also the catechism lessons for the children. In the carpentry workshop, the Brothers build church stalls, sacristy furnishings, and furniture for the seminary and the SSPX priories.
The Oblate Sisters help with tailoring, housekeeping, the porter service, and the office.
It was a joy to visit!
🇩🇪
Happy Feast of the Visitation! At last year's Youth Pilgrimage to the Holy Land, we visited Ein Karem, where St. Elizabeth lived when Our Lady went to visit her. There is a well where the home of St. Zachariah and St. Elizabeth stood, which she and Our Lady would have used. And the view of the hills is stunning! It was easy to imagine the mystery of the Visitation.
Lucerne is such a charming city! It has all the look and feel of a Swiss town, with the beauty of Lake Lucerne and the Swiss Alps!
🇨🇭
Last Saturday, after Mass at the SSPX Seminary in Ecône, we drove along a splendid route through the lakes, mountains, and tunnels (Tunnel of Lötschberg) of the Valais to Interlaken. There, we stopped for a delicious lunch overlooking the lake in the beautiful Interlaken region.
🇨🇭
Our group photo taken at the SSPX Seminary in Ecône, Switzerland, in front of the statue of our patron, St. Pius X. We enjoyed our visits to the Seminary immensely! Attending ordinations and First Masses, receiving first blessings, praying before the tomb of dear Archbishop Lefebvre, and mingling with traditional Catholics from all over the world have been experiences of a lifetime! We will never forget them.
We are leaving Switzerland and heading to Germany!
Celebrating the 36th anniversary of the SSPX Episcopal Consecrations that took place on June 30, 1988, with Bishop Fellay and fellow pilgrims on our Ecône to Prague Pilgrimage.
🇨🇭
During our hike in Sion, we stopped at a little chapel dedicated to St. Margaret, at Bisse de Saviese. We took photos at the beautiful waterfall that ran down the mountain, and made a quick stop for delicious Swiss ice cream!
🇨🇭 We visited Sion and hiked along one of its water canals “bissés". A gorgeous day and the most stunning views! And Bishop Fellay is loving it, too!
🇨🇭
Our last breakfast together on our Youth Pilgrimage. Tomorrow we fly home. We will miss everyone!

At the Church of the Holy Sepulcher in Jerusalem, one can touch the very spot where the Cross of Our Lord was placed on Golgotha. My Jesus, loaded with contempt, nail my heart to Thy feet, that it may ever remain there to love Thee, and never quit Thee again. I love Thee more than myself; I repent of having offended Thee.
