Petition to His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI
With profound respect and sincere devotion, We, the undersigned, humbly request that the cause for the beatification of Pope Pius XII proceed without delay. Pius XII€™s virtuous life speaks for itself and is supported by an abundance of incontestable documentary evidence. The truth regarding his service to the Church and the World, as a diplomat and during his pontificate, prior to and through the World War II period, is also historically established. He has been the victim of an unjust smear campaign for fifty years. Now, however, overwhelming evidence has been amassed that proves beyond doubt that he labored without pause for peace, that he sought to assist in every way possible the victims of war, especially Jews, hundreds of thousands of whom were spared through his efforts, and that he constantly warned the world of the horrors of Nazism and Communism. We urge that you honor this holy and brave Pontiff at the soonest possible date. Click here to sign the petition |
Ave Maria! Currently preregistration for the conference is closed. As to how many seats are available in the Church for registration at the door we will not know until later today. We will keep you posted. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! SAVE THE DATE! Saturday, October 13, 2007 Wow! We have been so busy here in Griswold getting ready for the Behold Your Mother Coredemption Conference in Indiana (also on the 13th) that we forgot that our Third Order in New Bedford is putting on a Fatima Devotion at the National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette in Attleboro, MA. They have been planning this for months, advertised widely and a huge turnout is expected. So come join the crowds to honor the 90th Anniversary of the Fatima apparitions. The day will begin at 7:50 a.m. and end at 3:30 p.m. A DVD presentation, Crowning, Rosary Procession, Conference, Confessions, Holy Mass at 12:10 p.m., Eucharistic Procession, Benediction and Fatima Farewell are just some beautiful features of this day of thanksgiving to Our Lady. Please bring a bag lunch. Coffee and cookies will be available. contact: Maggie Sweeney 508-428-4527 National Shrine of Our Lady of La Salette +++ |

The Statue of Our Lady of America will be at Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan on Tuesday 9/11 on the 6th annual commemoration of the terrorist attack on the Twin Towers. This is the same statue that was blessed by Archbishop Burke at the November 2006 Bishop’s Meeting of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and was until yesterday enthroned at the Old Cathedral of St. Louis, MO. The crowds attending the devotion to Our Lady of America are expected to be large because for the first time the actual Ground Zero site will be closed to those coming to the commemoration. A large part of the NYPD and Fire Department are already shifting their attention to the devotions we are holding to Our Lady of America. This is understandable because Our Lady of America made dire predictions of what would happen if America did not cease to be purveyors of pornography and instead start to be promoters of purity. With the failure of raw military power to quell terrorism in Iraq and the spectre of a nuclear Iran, those who have suffered most from the last terrorist attack are seeing the need to take the apparitions of Our Lady seriously, to get back to God and purity, in order to fend off something worse. Old St. Peter’s on 22 Barclay St. adjacent to Ground Zero. The day before, Monday, the statue will be paraded around Ground Zero in a vintage 1958 Mack fire truck called “World Trade Center Number One” which was restored for the purpose of commemorating the Firemen and Policemen that heroically gave up their lives to save those trapped inside the towers. Several fire engines from New Jersey and New York and a large Police escort will accompany the motorcade. On 9/11 the day will start at 10am in Old St. Peters when the statue will be processed to the portico on Church Street overlooking Ground Zero. The Rosary will be recited, one mystery every hour, 11am Joyful, 12noon Luminous, 1pm Sorrowful, 2pm Glorious and then 3pm will be the Chaplet of Divine Mercy. The statue will then be carried by the fire truck to St. Patrick’s Cathedral at 460 Madison Ave arriving between 4 and 5pm, where it will be processed inside for further devotions. The Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate will be on site With Fr. Peter Fehlner and an Air Maria camera crew. Unfortunately there is not a possibility of a live broadcast on this short of notice. Also in attendance will be Fr. Basil Cole, O.P., internationally recognized theologian and author and long time promoter of Our Lady of America. This will be the beginning of a series of Masses and devotions in various parishes through out the New York, New Jersey area over the next month, many of which will be officiated by the Franciscans of the Immaculate. The spontaneity with which this event has come together, overcoming seemingly insurmountable obstacles, suggests that this is the will of Our Lady of America, that she take center stage. Ave Maria! |
Ave Maria! It been a busy weekend here at Griswold. Yesterday at 7pm we had the clothing of seven Novices. This morning we had the first profession of Fr. Joachim who has just finished his novitiate and Fra Athanasius renewed his temporary vows. Tonight we will be the grand event, the Solemn Profession of Fra Joseph Mary, F.I. at 7pm Eastern Time. We will be broadcasting this Live on the Internet here as Air Maria for our first live broadcast. We will be doing a test broadcast all day today prior to the event to get feedback on how it is working. So click on the picture below to try the live Broadcast and please send comments on the normal blog comments below. We need to know how the audio and video is working, including how smooth and clear it is. And, of course … come join us at 7pm for this great event!

Ave Maria! We are announcing our first Live Broadcast which will be on the occasion of the Solemn Profession of Fra Joseph Mary on the Feast of the Birth of Our Lady on Saturday, Sept 8 at 7pm. The service will consist of a Mass with the profession right after the homily. It will probably go for one and a half hours but possibly as long as two hours. This is the same Fra Joseph who does No Apologies here on Air Maria so we are all very excited as he makes his final profession of the four vows (Total Consecration to the Immaculate, Poverty, Chastity and Obedience) in the Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate. So come check it out this Saturday at 7pm, Live. |

Ave Maria! On this Feast of Our Lady and after being operational for four months or so, Fr. Angelo Geiger gives the surprise announcement of our grand opening! That’s right, up to now we have not been offically open. It has all been for practice. He mentions the many new shows, our new three column web format that includes a new menu system in the left column. The dedication of the site to St. Clare, Patroness of TV and in honor of Patrick Wroe, son of David Wroe who’s help has been indispensable for Air Maria. He thanks all the many people who have supported Air Maria in so many ways. Have a blessed Feast of the Annunciation! Ave Maria! |
