Dear Friend,

This Saturday, August 5, Raymond Cardinal Burke will celebrate a very special Pontifical High Mass, at 11:00 AM Central Time from the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe, in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Why is this so special? Not only is this First Saturday, dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary, it is also the special Feast Day of the Dedication of the Basilica of Saint Mary Major – Our Lady of the Snows. All are welcome to assist at the Holy Mass, either in person or to view on your computer or smartphone via the livestream link. 

What intentions will you be submitting, which will be included in the full ceremonial, Pontifical High Mass, offered by His Eminence Raymond Cardinal Burke?

Did you know that this feast commemorates the miracle of the snowfall on the site where the Basilica of Saint Mary Major now stands?  It happened in the year 358, during the night of August 4-5. The Blessed Virgin Mary appeared in a dream to two faithful people, as well as to Pope Liberius asking that a church be built in her honor on the site where snow would fall on the night of August 4-5. Pope Liberius traced the outlines of the church in the snow and the basilica was built on that site. 

Since this Pontifical High Mass occurs on a Saturday, it will be a good time to put aside all distractions and soak in all the glorious moments.

Yours in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
