Today is the final day of the calendar year to make a calendar year tax deductible donation! We hope you will consider supporting our mission and of inspiring men of all vocations to live liturgically in their personal and professional lives by through adoration of the Blessed Sacrament, Confession, fellowship, tradition, and spiritual enrichment and retraining men in the art of Virtuous Leisure. Our vision is to reignite the traditional fullness of Catholic Parish life as lived by our ancestors for centuries.
This past year we sponsored four men’s feast day celebrations, a Parish Mission with the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, a visit to the American Legion cemetery during the Octave of All Saints, and a Pontifical Mass with Bishop Athanasius Schneider
We are excited for another incredible year of spreading Tradition throughout the Diocese of St Petersburg.
