Join us for a Celebration of Shrovetide...
There will be one final time to celebrate this festive season before Lent begins so we hope you will join us for an evening of Vespers, Benediction, Rosary, and Confession will beginning at 6pm. The dinner and talk will begin at the conclusion of Benediction and Confession. Our night concludes with fellowship, cigars, dessert, and beverages.
Our Presenting Speaker is Peter A. Kwasniewski, Ph.D.
You may sponsor a table, promote your business, and/or buy tickets for your friends and family within Epiphany and from other parishes. We encourage you to bring new friends to our events so they may learn more about the Traditions of Holy Mother Church.
Help us inspire our community to live liturgically and reignite the art of Virtuous Leisure.
We would also like to highly encourage you to visit this piece by Matthew Plese on How to Live more Liturgically in the New Year. Many of his ideas are things we are doing or plan to do in 2024!
Beyond assisting at Mass and praying the Divine Office, we can and should observe the forgotten customs that further underscored authentic Catholic culture. Catholic culture is more than just going to Mass – much more. Catholic culture is built on fasting periods, assisting at Processions, having various items blessed at different parts of the year (e.g., herbs on August 15, grapes on September 8th, wine on December 27th). It features days of festivity like Martinmas and promotes family time and charitable works like visits to grandparents on Easter Monday. It is replete with food customs to celebrate the end of fasting periods and filled with special devotions during periods of penance. It is our heritage. These traditions are our birthright. They are ours as much as they were our ancestors. We must reclaim them. We must spread them. We must love them and observe them.1
Come celebrate Catholic Culture at our Celebration of Shrovetide!
