FROM THE SUPERIOR’S DESKNovember 1, 2006Feast of All SaintsDear Friends and Benefactors,

There was a time hereat St. John’s when welooked forward to a rest-ful summer after celebrat-ing the Feast of CorpusChristi. However, as theCantians grow the days ofa slower pace are longpast.

On June 19th, six menentered our community asPostulants. These mencome to us from far andwide seeking to do theLord’s will. RobertBrajkovich comes to usfrom Indiana, JonathanHill from Florida,Jonathan Ryan fromNorth Carolina, KevinMann and ScottThelander from Califor-nia, and Anselm Karas,one of our own parishio-ners, from Chicago, Illi-nois. As soon as they ar-rived they began classeson Gregorian Chant, themechanics of servingMass and Benediction,and the intricacies of theDivine Office. They alsohave been learning thevarious obligations at-tached to caring for therectory, church, and com-munity property. In addi-tion to studying, theyhave engaged in manual

labor at the church, inLawton, Michigan, or, asin the past, at the Mission-aries of Charity. In spite offull days they still have“some” free time.

This summer FatherJim and Brother Chad

conducted a number ofsuccessful Don BoscoBoys Camps. Two of themtook place at St. Peter’s inVolo, Illinois, while theother two were at St.John’s. A total of one hun-dred twenty boys took

part in this year’s round ofcamps, representing a no-table increase of partici-pants from last year.

Brs. Chad, Brendan,and Brian attended twoweeks of classes in July onvarious aspects of theVowed life. The Instituteon Religious Life con-ducted these summercourses at ChristendomCollege in Front Royal,Virginia. Fr. BenedictGroeschel, one of ourspiritual advisors, was oneof the three instructors atthe sessions that our menattended. While our menwere taking these classeson Religious Life, FatherDennis helped two priestsin Front Royal learn theTridentine Mass. We werehonored that we wereasked to familiarize these

priests and servers withthe Tridentine Mass. Fa-ther Dennis kept busy theentire time as there werethree sessions each day forthree hours at a time.

As the summer movedsteadily on, Father Frank,Father Jim, and BrothersNathan, Robin, Trenton,and Matthew made a pil-grimage to Fatima withAbbot McCaffrey. Eachnight we participated inthe Rosary Procession andat this time especially Iincluded all of our bene-factors in our prayers. Seethe accompanying articlelater in this issue for somereflections on the pilgrim-age by Br. Nathan.

Abbot McCaffrey actedas spiritual director for theFatima pilgrimages for thelast twenty-one years. In

However, now that theAbbot is retiring fromleading the pilgrimages, Ithought that if I were ableto impose on all of youreading this, I would starta fund in order to make itpossible for our men tocontinue to visit this greatplace of pilgrimage. WhenAbbot McCaffrey re-ceived donations for thisfund, the cost for eachseminarian was about$2500.00. Anyone willingto sponsor one of our menshould contact FatherPhillips.

We conducted the An-nual Benefit for theCantians in early August.Before we left for Fatimawe only had a total oftwenty registered for theBenefit. While I was inFatima, Father Brendanspoke at all the Massesand gave it the final push.We had one hundred sev-enty-four in attendance,

the largest number of par-ticipants ever. Our thanksto all who supported ourAnnual Benefit throughdonations or their pres-ence at the Benefit.

During the Benefit din-ner, we awarded our St.John’s Cantian medallionto Father Douglas Mosey,Rector of Holy ApostlesSeminary. Over the years,Father Mosey has beenvery supportive of ourmen and he continues toshow them a good priestlyexample.

We also presented ourmedallion to Bishop BasilMeeking, retired Bishopof Christ Church, NewZealand. Sadly, BishopMeeking, who has beenour liaison with CardinalGeorge for the past fiveyears, is returning to his

homeland. The Bishopwill be greatly missed bythe Cantians as well as byour parish, for on numer-ous occasions he offeredPontifical Masses at St.John’s.

The summer came to ajoyous conclusion withthe advent of the Feast ofthe Assumption. The Pos-tulants received the habiton August 14th and sobegan their two-year No-vitiate. On August 15th,Brothers Brendan Bartlettand Brian Schafer pro-fessed first vows andBrothers Joshua Caswell,Robert Maresh, and An-thony Rice renewed vows.Brother Chad McCoyprofessed perpetual vows,as did Brother ScottHaynes. Brother Scott willbe ordained a Deacon on

December 27th, the Feastof St. John the Evangelist,by Bishop Joseph Perry.

From September 11 to

September 21, DeaconBart and Brothers Brian,Nathan, and Robin ac-companied Fr. Dennis ona pilgrimage to Poland.They had the opportunityto visit many beautifulchurches and shrines, aswell as a number ofplaces with ties to the latePope John Paul II. Br.Robin shares with ussome of his experiences inanother article containedin this edition of thenewsletter.

As winter approachesand we draw closer to theChristmas season, let usbegin now to prepare ourhearts for this joyous cel-ebration through frequentreception of the sacra-ments and a life of charity.Know that we will con-tinue to remember all ofyou daily in our prayers.

Br. Scott was asked to attend the CIEL conference onbehalf of the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius.Here he offers his impressions of the colloquium.

CIEL (Centre International d’Etudes Liturgiques)held a splendid liturgical conference September 12-16,2006, at Oxford University’s Merton College (founded1264). This colloquium met to study the richness of theRoman liturgical tradition. Scholarly papers were givenby illustrious scholars from all over the world, includ-ing the Rev. Dr. Alcuin Reid, author of The OrganicDevelopment of the Liturgy, and by Rev. Dr.U. Michael Lang, member of the Brompton Oratory,and author of Turning Toward the Lord. Both authorshave received the highest praise from Pope Benedict fortheir scholarly efforts.

In 2003, then Cardinal Ratzinger praised Fr. Lang forhis book on orientation in liturgical prayer and urgedCatholics to consider the compelling historical, ecumeni-cal, pastoral, and theological reasons for the Catholic

tradition of praying ad orientam. Though translatorswere needed in the lecture hall, everyone was able toworship together in the common tongue of the Church.The medieval halls of this Oxford college resoundeddaily with the vigorous chanting of the one hundredsixty participants. The Tridentine Mass and Divine Of-fice were offered with much solemnity. The fine scholacantorum and superb organ playing were like a spark offire for the faithful, who took up the singing with fullvoice. It should not be forgotten that this was the firstCatholic liturgy offered here since the Reformation.

Many were even moved to tears when newly or-dained Bishop David McGough, Auxiliary Bishop of thelocal Diocese of Birmingham, offered his first everTridentine Mass in the concluding liturgy of this collo-quium. One could not leave this conference withoutconcluding that the Latin liturgy, offered according tothe norms of the Church, is a great treasure of inesti-mable worth.

For 11 days in September, Fa-ther Dennis, Deacon Bart, BrothersBrian, Nathan, and I made a Pil-grimage with over forty pilgrims toPoland. But, as Father said duringthe Pilgrimage, this was more thanjust visiting beautiful Churches andeating interesting food. For most ofus, the influence of Materialismmakes it very difficult to detachourselves from the things of thisworld and advance in the interiorlife. This pilgrimage was a spiritualretreat that separated us from ournormal surroundings and cares toenkindle a deeper love for Christand our Blessed Mother by prayer,meditation, Mass, and Confession.

Every day, the pilgrims jour-neyed to different holy sites, alladorned with beautiful architec-ture and sacred items with centu-ries of rich history. On most days,Father Dennis celebrated aTridentine High Mass at the pil-grimage site, while the Scholachanted the propers in Gregorianmodes. Father Dennis, who lived inPoland for six years, served as ourguide and helped us with the diffi-culties of the language barrier aswe journeyed around the country.We were blessed to have a guidewho knows so much of Poland’shistory and could impart to us somuch wisdom that greatly enrichedthe pilgrimage experience. TheCantians and young men from theparish were also able to chant theoffice in common on most days andhave our daily holy hour at St.Mary’s Basilica in Krakow.

For most of the pilgrimage, westayed in Krakow’s Old City, alsoknown as the “Rome of the North.”We visited more than a dozen sites,such as the Divine Mercy Shrine,the Shrine of the Holy Sepulchre,Wawel Cathedral, and the Tomb ofSt. John Cantius. For myself, the

THE SPIRITUAL HEART OF POLAND

11

most memorable part of the pilgrim-age was staying at the pilgrimhome next to the Shrine of OurLady of Czestochowa. It was over-whelming to see the crowds ofpeople who came so early for theunveiling of the Icon of the BlackMadonna at six in the morning!This is believed to be the OriginalIcon painted by St. Luke, making ita major site of miracles and specialgraces.

We also had the privilege of cel-ebrating a Tridentine High Mass inthe Chapel of Our Lady of Czest-

ochowa, where the Icon was un-veiled before us at the beginning ofthe Mass. It was particularly hum-bling for the people to greet us witha head bow and a Szczesc Boze,which means, “May the blessing ofGod be upon you.” How strangefor an American like myself to hearsuch words! There was somethingspecial about Czestochowa, be-

cause you truly felt the presence ofOur Lady. And I am very gratefulbecause I believe she bestowedupon us many graces and favorswhich have brought us closer toHer.

The entire pilgrimage was spiri-tually edifying, drawing us into theconstant presence of Christ. It hashelped me to appreciate the sacreditems we have at St. John CantiusParish: the icon of the Black Ma-donna above Mary’s altar; the Di-vine Mercy Shrine altar below thenorth choir loft; the replica of the

Wit Stwosz altar below the southchoir loft; and the painting of St.John Cantius above the high altar.Now, whenever I take a panoramicview of the Church, I am broughtback to the holy sites we visited inPoland. We were drawn closer toOur Blessed Lord through OurLady of Czestochowa.

COVA IS KEY TO FATIMAThis summer, some of the Cantians took part in a pil-

grimage to Portugal and Spain. It was an awesome expe-rience visiting churches, shrines, and monasteries of mag-nificent architecture where the Holy Spirit has worked.Their slender gothic stone columns and Baroque altars re-main as monuments expressing man’s faith in Godthrough the ages. But the pilgrimage was not just a mat-ter of living in the past, for the most impressive thing wasthe faith that is found presently in Fatima.

The Cova da Iria is a quiet, peaceful place. I wasmoved by the simplicity of this little farming town, onceso ordinary and unassuming, which is now “the Altar ofthe world,” as Pope Pius XII called it. In its very essenceit shows itself inspired by Our Lady. Though adornedwith basilica, chapels, statues and religious goods stores,it is still a humble place, not puffed up, not proud, notself-seeking. It gives witness to the Gospel.

One Sunday evening, I watched from the steps of thebasilica. The stones were still warm from the August sunand the cool air smelled like approaching rain. As the9:30 bell struck, a few final pilgrims made their waythrough the expansive cobblestone sanctuary to thecapelinha (little chapel) where the “beautiful lady” ap-peared many times and where seventy thousand peoplesaw the miracle of the sun on October 13, 1917.

The choir sang the antiphon “Venite Adoremus” andthe crowd of about five hundred repeated it. A fewpeople came from the far end of the cova down the stonepath on their knees in prayer and penance. Just behindthe capelinha, flames shot up from the candle pit, whichburns continuously with wax votive offerings and peti-tions of many shapes and sizes. On the right stood theHolm oak where the three little shepherds often tookrefuge from the sun.

Next, pilgrims from around the globe took turnsleading a decade of the rosary and then joined in thecandlelight procession with the Statue of Mary. TheFatima “Ave” was sung by all, repeated verse after verseas the procession passed in front of the basilica whereLucia, Jacinta, and Francisco now lie. As Our Lady wasbrought back to the capelinha and to the tabernacle Iwas reminded that our whole life is a pilgrimage withMary leading us to her Son.

Mary called herself the Lady of the Rosary and in-structed us to pray the rosary daily. She told us to prayfor the conversion of sinners and to do penance in repa-ration for the sins committed against her ImmaculateHeart and the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Since then the ro-sary has been recited here every night and now Massesare celebrated nearly every half-hour throughout eachday. People come to pray and to be reconciled to God.Thousands are healed spiritually and physically. Fromthis small Portuguese town, millions have heard themessage of Our Lady: prayer, conversion, and penance.
