Please join us to celebrate the Solemn High Mass in the Extraordinary Form for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross at St. James the Less parish in La Crosse on Thursday, September 14 at 6 pm. Our celebrant will be Msgr. Joseph Diermeier, a vicar general of the La Crosse diocese and pastor of Nativity of the BVM in Marathon. Msgr. Diermeier will be assisted by Fr. James Altman pastor of St James the Less and Fr. Michael Klos, pastor of Tri-Parish Catholic Community of Cashton and Norwalk.

We also celebrate the 10th anniversary of the promulgation of Summorum Pontificum, the papal decree which provided for much wider celebration of the Extraordinary Form in the Church. Handouts will be available for those unfamiliar with the Extraordinary Form. For more details, please contact Una Voce La Crosse, admin@unavocelacrosse.org.

Please join us for a sung Mass in the Extraordinary Form in Christ the King chapel, La Crosse Diocesan Center on Wednesday, September 14 at 7 pm. Our celebrant will be Father Justin Kizewski, a priest of the La Crosse diocese, who recently received his doctorate in Sacred Theology and is now pastor of Holy Ghost Catholic Church in Chippewa Falls, WI.

There will be refreshments and fellowship following the Mass.

Update(3/16):

In my past invitations to our Mass on the Feast of St. Joseph, this coming Saturday, 10 am at Holy Cross Diocesan Center in La Crosse, I had forgotten to urge all of those coming to bring canned goods and other non-perishable foodstuffs to be donated to a local food pantry.  This is a long and venerable custom on St. Joseph’s Day, so let’s be generous in helping the poor.

I also wanted to communicate that, unfortunately, Bishop Callahan will not be able to attend this Mass with us after all — an important matter came up that requires his presence and he extends his apologies.  But our celebrant, Father Redfern, will be extremely pleased to preach a rousing sermon on his own name day!

This is a great feast for a great saint and even though it falls during Lent, since it is a Solemnity the faithful are free to dispense with their Lenten austerities to celebrate this day. We request that those planning to stay for the gathering after Mass please bring some special Italian antipasti/appetizers to share, along with a dessert.

We’re looking forward to seeing you, your family, and your friends on March 19!
