Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish, Monona

First, we will be returning to IHM parish in Monona to celebrate their titular feast day: the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Remember also that visiting a church on its feast day carries a plenary indulgence under the usual conditions.

Holy Name Heights (formerly the Bp O’Connor Center)

Next, His Excellency will celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross with the Knights and Ladies of the Holy Sepulchre, who requested that this year’s Mass be a Pontifical TLM. This also coincides with the 10th anniversary of the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum going into effect, liberating use of the ancient form of the Roman Rite.

There will be a Sung Mass on Ash Wednesday at 6:30 pm at St Mary’s Pine Bluff.  Fr Heilman will be available to hear confessions during the Mass.

We are already well into the Septuagesima season, with violet vestments, the Gloria absent except on feast days, and the Alleluia-song buried until Easter. Hopefully you are preparing well for the upcoming Lenten penance, as the beginning of Lent is fast approaching on March 1st. While Ash Wednesday is not a Holy Day of Obligation, many of the Faithful will probably wish to attend Holy Mass to begin their Quadregesima discipline. So, here is the complete list of the Diocese of Madison’s

Ash Wednesday Masses in the Extraordinary Form

• 6:30 am — St Norbert’s, Roxbury
• 6:30 am — St Augustine, Platteville
• 6:30 am — Queen of All Saints, Fennimore
• 6:30 pm — St Mary’s, Pine Bluff (Sung Mass)

A new project: Crowd Funded Pontifical Vestment Set in Purple.

Would you like to help the TMSM fund a purple vestment set for a Pontifical Mass at the Throne? It can also be used for Solemn Masses throughout the Diocese as well.

Click HERE to support.

The TMSM currently has commissioned and completed a gold set, as well as a black set, and is currently in the process of funding a purple set. We plan, in the long term, to have a complete set for the liturgical year which would mean obtaining sets in green, red and rose.

Please consider assisting and sharing this project.

During this time when so many people do not have the ability to participate at Holy Mass in church, I am – along with quite a few other priests – saying Mass each day with a live video stream over the internet. On week days I say Mass at Noon, Central Daylight Time (UTC -5). My channel is HERE. On Sunday’s we are keeping the regular schedule with a live stream from the parish, St. Mary’s in Pine Bluff, WI. That channel is HERE.

Also, we will be singing Vespers on Sunday and Tenebrae during the Triduum. Stay tuned.
