In spite of being the only Diocese in Missouri WITHOUT an 'every-Sunday' Latin Mass, and in certain cases being treated as outcasts, Our Blessed Mother has miraculously interceded for us to have Her Son's Holy Mass celebrated here in northeast Missouri every month for 23 straight months. Deo Gratias! Certainly, we simple creatures could not have accomplished this without Divine intervention. We have relied upon 'missionary' priests, who have already spent their Sunday celebrating Masses in their parish, to charitably give of their time to travel and celebrate Holy Mass for us at St. Rose.

The Society is overjoyed to announce that a priest who has travelled to St. Rose the last two months in a row has agreed to come back for a third on Sunday, December 3, the First Sunday of Advent, to celebrate Our Dear Lord's Holy Mass for us! Father Kevin Drew, St. Joseph's Parish in Trenton, will celebrate the December 3rd Mass at 4:00 PM. This will now mean that we have been blessed to have had the Holy Mass here in northeast Missouri every month for a full two years. Who would have 'thunk' it?

Thank you Father Drew. Thank you Lord Jesus Christ, and thank you Blessed Mother, Mary!
