Forever.
Feast of Saint Jean-Baptiste de La Salle (John Baptist de La Salle) (born 30 April 1651 in Reims; died 7 April 1719 in Saint-Yon, Rouen) was a French priest, educational reformer, and founder of an international educational movement, the Brothers of Christian Schools(FSC), who dedicated more than forty years of his life to the education of the children of the poor. In the process, he standardized educational practices throughout France, wrote inspirational meditations on the ministry of teaching (along with catechisms, politeness texts, and other resources for teachers and students), and became the catalyst and resource for many other religious congregations dedicated to education that were founded in the 18th and 19th centuries.

TLM Schedule effective June 1
Nashua,NH, May 8 (UnaVoceNH) - Fr.
Martin Kelly has announced that effective
June 1, 2008, the new time for the Extraordinary form of the Mass will be at
1:30 PM on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of
the month.
Ecclesia Dei President Cardinal
Castrillon Hoyos in introduction to
new TLM video:
TLM should be made available “even if it is not specifically asked for, or requested” it should be
provided
Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP),
in cooperation with EWTN, will soon
release an instructional video on the
1962
who reserves the video on its web
site.
Dario Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos,
President of the Pontifical Ecclesia Dei Commission, provides an introduction
for the DVD. The Ecclesia Dei
Commission is tasked with the implementation of Pope Benedict’s
Motu Proprio on the 1962
In the cardinal’s introduction, he
explains that Pope Benedict XVI
hoped to foster a “spiritual and
theological richness” by promoting
wider use of the Mass of St. Pius V
through the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum.
The cardinal also emphasized that
this Mass was a universal gift.
“All this liturgical richness, all this
spiritual richness, and all the prayers
so well-preserved during the
centuries, all of this is offered by the
all, it is not a gift merely for the
so-called traditionalists. No, it is
a gift for the whole Catholic Church,” Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos said.
The “sacred silence” and contem-
plation of the ancient rite, the
cardinal said, “makes present the
Lord Jesus in an expression of rich
liturgical beauty, as the conqueror
of death and sin… this rite brought unity
to the faith and became the
single expression through which
the Church adores God.”
The cardinal said that parishes and
priests should make available the Extraordinary Form so that:
“everyone may have access to this treasure of the ancient liturgy of the Church.” He also stressed that,
“even if it is not specifically asked
for, or requested” it should be
provided. Interestingly, he added that
the Pope wants this Mass to become normal in parishes, so that “young communities can also become
familiar with this rite.”

Poll shows pope's visit
influenced attitudes toward church, faith
NEW HAVEN, Conn. (CNS) -- Pope
Benedict XVI's U.S. visit impacted public attitudes toward the pope, the church and people's willingness to live their faith more fully, according to a poll commissioned by the Knights of Columbus. The nationwide
poll of
1,013 adults was conducted by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., April
22-24, just after the April 15-20
papal visit. Marist conducted a
similar poll prior to the pope's visit. Both
polls had a margin of error of
plus or minus 3.1 percentage points. According to the newest poll, 65 percent
of Americans have a more positive view of Pope Benedict as a result of what they
saw and heard during his six-day visit to
the United States and 52 percent have a more positive view of the Catholic Church. The percentage of Americans with a
favorable view of Pope Benedict jumped
from 58 percent prior to his visit to 71 percent afterward.
Similarly, the percentage of those
who described the pope positively
as a spiritual leader increased from
53 percent to 62 percent.
Pope says trip to U.S. was opportunity to give, receive
hope, faith
By Cindy Wooden
Catholic News Service
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict
XVI said his April 15-20 visit to the United Nations and the United States was an opportunity to give -- and to receive -- a witness to the power of hope and faith.
Reflecting on his trip during his April 30 weekly general audience, the pope said
the hope that flows from faith in Christ
can vanquish even the darkness cast
by the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Christian hope, "stronger than sin and
death, animated a moment filled with emotion, which I passed in silence in the abyss of ground zero, where I lighted a candle, praying for all the victims of that terrible tragedy," the pope said.

Peruvian cardinal stops Communion in the hand
Lima, Apr. 17, 2008 (CWNews.com) - A Peruvian cardinal reports that he has banned the practice of receiving Communion in the hand.
Speaking to the Italian web site Petrus, Cardinal Juan Luis Cipriani Thorne of Lima, Peru, said that in order to guard against abuses, "the best way to administer Communion is on the tongue."
Cardinal Cipriani told Petrus that he took the step to halt Communion in the hand in order to promote greater reverence for the Eucharist. In some cases, he said, the practice had led to gross abuses. More generally he cited the "relaxed attitude of many priests" as a cause for the decline in reverence.

And behold an angel of the Lord stood by them,
and the glory of God shown round them, and they feared with a great fear."
And the angel said to them: "Do not be afraid,

I bring you tidings of great joy which shall be to all the people;

Traditional Mass offered
Nov. 4 in Laconia for the first time!!
The Mass according to the historical Roman Rite Missal of Bl. John XXIII was said by Fr. Adrien Longchamps, at Sacred Heart Parish, Laconia, on Sunday. November 4 at 3 PM.
Music was provided by an impromptu schola, who chanted ordinary parts from the choir loft with organ accompaniment. The faithful were able to join their voices with the schola using music sheets distributed before Mass.
There were many families with little children, as well as several octogenarians for whom the ancient liturgy brought back memories of parish life over forty years ago. There were many faithful in the pews, mostly parishioners according to Fr. Adrien. Many gathered with Father in the hall for refreshments afterward.
For this occasion Fr. Adrien restored the original high altar back, with the statue of the Sacred Heart, which had been in storage for at least a decade.
Fr. Adrien announced that the next Mass using the Missal of Blessed John XXIII will take place the first Sunday of December (First Sunday of Advent), and then he plans to use the same missal on Christmas Day--both December masses will begin at 11:30 AM.
Everyone is welcome to attend these liturgies, but visitors are encouraged to check the parish bulletin or to contact Fr. Adrien at the parish, as December 2nd approaches, to learn of any schedule changes.

Trinity Sunday
The Sunday after Pentecost
Dear Friends:
On the occasion of the conclusion of the Holy Father's historic first visit to the United States, let us thank him with our prayers and with gratitude in our hearts!!!
If this is your first time visiting Una Voce NH, welcome. The Holy Father's visit was particularly poignant for the Una Voce movement and for Una Voce New Hampshire. The release of his Motu Proprio last July enabled the return to the Traditional Latin Mass in NH in four parishes for the first time in almost 40 years.
It is appropriate that we came online at the same time as the Motu Proprio went into effect in September. I am happy to report that since that time the Traditional Latin Mass(TLM) has spread to 4 locations with TLM being celebrated 4 Sundays a month in New Hampshire:
However, if the Masses are not listed as Confirmed on the Mass Schedule page you will need to check with the Parish to confirm dates and time of the Mass.
1st Sunday -Immaculate Conception,
Portsmouth
-Sacred Heart, Laconia
2nd Sunday- St Patrick's, Nashua
3rd Sunday- St Margaret Mary, Keene
4th Sunday- St Patrick's, Nashua
5th Sundays-St Margaret Mary, Keene
(note started March 30, 2008)
As the official voice of Una Voce International in New Hampshire, our goal is to unite traditional Catholics throughout the state in a network to support and promote the celebration of the Mass according to the 1962 Missal of Blessed John XXIII.
With the July 2007 release of his Motu Proprio on the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, our Holy Father Benedict has opened the doors in New Hampshire to the celebration of the traditional Latin Tridentine Rite of the Mass for the first time in over 40 years.
This historic opportunity has created significant needs including:
- communicating the message of the beauty and theology of the Latin Mass,
- enabling programs for Priestly formation in Latin in the traditional rite,
- training for Altar Servers,
- development of sacred music programs,
- and sacristal support and procurement of traditional vestments, altar cards, chalice veils, missals, communion pattens etc.
We need your help. Volunteer your efforts or donate to our cause!!!
Thank you...and may God Bless you!!!
