Dear Friends,

A blessed Advent to all of you and your families! 

It is our great joy to echo the recent announcement of His Eminence, Raymond Leo Cardinal Burke, that he will offer a Pontifical High Mass, in the Extraordinary Form – the older, Traditional Latin Mass, which will be livestreamed by our friends at Catholic Answers at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin on Saturday, December 11th at 11 am (Central Time). 

The Moderators of the livestream broadcast will offer some important insights and commentary about the Ancient Rite of the Mass, and you will not want to miss it. If you’d like to learn more, we’ve provided this concise primer on the TLM for your information. 

(Note: We will send you the link to the livestream broadcast when it becomes available. If you need to know the exact time of the Mass for your specific time zone, please click this link to calculate it from the coordinate of Madison, Wisconsin which is the closest town to where the Mass will be offered.)

As you are well aware, Cardinal Burke has been the Episcopal Advisor since the founding of Catholic Action for Faith and Family and the leading force in offering our Operation Storm Heaven monthly Holy Masses on the first day of every month prior to his unfortunate illness a few months ago. Several wonderful prelates (such as Archbishop Cordileone of San Francisco and Archbishop Sample of Portland) have stepped in to offer the First of the Month Holy Mass in his absence.

In so doing, the Operation Storm Heaven Global Rosary Crusade continues its trajectory of bringing together one million Catholics praying the Rosary on the 1st of each month in union with the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. 

Be sure to subscribe to our Operation Storm Heaven updates and alerts about future livestream broadcasts. You can view our previous Livestream Holy Masses on our YouTube Channel.

If you have not had a chance to submit your prayer intentions for “O Holy and Pure Virgin Mary” holy masses, which includes the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, please click here: We are praying for the continuation of good health for Cardinal Burke, so please join in. 

Let us remember Cardinal Burke in our Rosaries, most especially during our Advent journey to Bethlehem as we look forward to receiving our divine Savior, who alone can heal the world. 

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Thomas J. McKenna
