With Father Young’s blessing I am creating a Catholic Men’s Group that will meet once per month at Saint Alphonsus Catholic Church to have small group-style conversations about a wide range of topics. We will work together to share experience, wisdom, and to have deep theological discussions that help us grow as both men and Catholics. I am taking point on getting things going, but the leadership will be shared. I plan to start the group discussions using a book called “Spiritual Authority in the Home.” I have purchased 25 copies and will give them out at the first meeting on 29 September at 6:30pm. Those interested will read the first few chapters (the whole book is only about 100 pages) and we’ll talk about them at the next meeting. This will serve as a primer for a deeper conversation where, hopefully, those of us with experience in this area can help those without. When we’re done with the book, someone else can pick a topic that they can lead the next discussion on. In this way we will develop bonds, gain knowledge, and become stronger Catholics. “As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.” I hope to see you there. -Aaron Heath +1 (334) 470-1878
Letter from the Vatican Dicastery for Divine Worship to Bishop Walsh renewing the privilege of celebrating Mass according to the 1962 Missal in two Davenport Diocese parish churches, with dispensation given for the TLM in Davenport to be celebrated at St Alphonsus church going forward, referencing our bishop being tasked to “continue resolutely to lead the faithful who are attached to the anterior ritual form towards a full appreciation and acceptance of the liturgical books renewed by decree of the Second Vatican Council and promulgated by Popes St John Paul VI and St John Paul II.”
