Mass of Bishop Guimarães, C.SS.R.

As part of the celebrations of tenth anniversary of the Episcopal consecration of Bishop Rifan, Bishop Fernando José Monteiro Guimarães, C.SS.R. visited the Apostolic Administration of St John Mary Vianney. Bishop Guimarães, C.SS.R. is the bishop of Garanhuns in Brazil. While on his visit he celebrated Holy Mass in the Traditional Right at the Church of the traditional Redemptoristines in Sao Fidelis.

Corpus Christi: Mass and Procession

Some photos of the Sisters' festivities. Holy Mass was celebrated by Father Everaldo Bon Robert of the Apostolic Administration of St John Mary Vianney in Campos, Brazil.

Holy Mass celebrated in the Monastery's public chapel. The Sisters attend Mass from behind their grill.

Ite ad Joseph!

I thought that you might like to see these photos from the traditional Redemptoristines in Sao Fidelis, Brazil. They are subjects of the Apostolic Administration St Jean Vianney in Campos. These photos were taken on the feast of St Joseph. The Sisters prepared a beautiful bier in honour of St. Joseph.

The bier, almost complete is placed in the Church, and the finishing touches applied.

"I took for my advocate and lord the glorious Saint Joseph and commended myself earnestly to him;...I do not remember even now that I have ever asked anything of him which he has failed to grant." - St. Teresa of Avila

St. Joseph is carried in procession.

Ite ad Joseph!

The Redemptoristine's grill can be seen on the left of the bier.

About This Blog

We have given this blog the description:
"The English blog of
the only traditional Redemptoristines
in the Church."

Like other orders
the Redemptoristine nuns have suffered greatly
during the last 40 years.
Many venerable monasteries have closed down;
others are closing down,
there are but few that still function.

Of all the that remains of the
Order of the Most Holy Redeemer,
only the nuns of this monastery:
live the old Rule;
wear the full traditional habit;
pray the ancient Divine Office in Latin;
and assist daily at the old Mass
-Mass in the Extraordinary Form-
and,
as subjects of the
Apostolic Administration St Jean Vianney
in Campos, Brazil,
live in undisputed union with the Church
and the Holy Father,
Pope Benedict XVI.

Other valliant nuns have tried:
none have been able.

It will be only on the day of Judgment
that we will know all of the silent holocausts
offered to God
by many good Redemptoristines
throughout the Church
who have wept
at the destruction of their vocation.

The nuns of this monastery have suffered.
By God's Providence they have survived;
still intact but greatly diminished in number.

We make these nuns known
to the English speaking world.
We promote their traditional vocation.
We solicit alms for them.
Please help them by your prayers.

Especially, please send us donations
for their upkeep and the building of their monastery as,
after the religious storms,
they begin again.
