Bishop Morlino did what? What’s that all about?”
You may have seen notices and articles over the last year or so about Bishop Robert C. Morlino celebrating “Pontifical Mass at the Throne in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite.”
It is possible that some of you, seeing “Throne,” and “Pontifical,” and “Extraordinary,” might say “What’s that all about?” as you turn the page.
In a short series over the next few issues of the Catholic Herald, let’s drill into “what that’s all about.”
Go check out the rest at the Herald’s website.

The TMSM has acquired fine new reliquaries for the mail altar and side altars of, for now, St. Mary’s in Pine Bluff. They were blessed by the diocesan bishop on Quinquagesima Sunday. They still need to have the relics installed, but we have them. They should be on the altars right away.

We are planning to have a Solemn Mass for the Vigil of the Epiphany on Saturday, 5 January, at St Mary’s in Pine Bluff at 4:00 PM, followed by Exposition, Benediction, and the Solemn Blessing of the Epiphany Water.
What began as plans for simple Benediction and blessing of the Epiphany Water before the Knights of Divine Mercy’s monthly spiritual gathering quickly escalated into plans for the solemn liturgies, including the full Mass of the Vigil of the Epiphany.
This beautiful Vigil of one of the most important Feasts in the Church’s calendar was removed after the 1955 simplification of the rubrics, though it was never replaced, and thus became nothing more than a simple feria in Christmastide.
Whereas most of the vigils were traditionally very penitential, the Vigil of the Epiphany retains the joyful signs of Our Lord’s Nativity, with white vestments, the Te Deum sung during the Divine Office, the Gloria and Creed recited at Mass, and most of the Mass propers taken from Sunday in the Octave of the Nativity.
The Vigil also includes the Solemn Blessing of the Epiphany Water, which — unlike typically Holy Water — is a blessing reserved only to those properly designated by a bishop. The rite supposes a bishop or priest assisted by deacon and subdeacon, and includes extra, and includes extra, extremely powerful exorcism prayers, beyond those of the usual Sunday Asperges water.
Fr Heilman’s invitation, and anticipated schedule for the evening is available here: https://www.romancatholicman.com/knights-of-divine-mercy-vigil-of-epiphany-january-5-2/
