Immaculate Music #28 – Christmas in Bloomington, In  ( 04min) >>> Play

Ave Maria!

Well today  is the last day of Christmas decorations at our friaries in the Franciscans of the Immaculate. Yes, we are slow to take them down, but since we are a Marian order, we extend the Christmas season to the last feastday in the Joyful Mysteries which is  today, the Feast of the Presentation. Anyways, here is a beautiful video of the Christmas lights and decorations at our friary in Bloomington, IN. You will also get a good view of their new altar and sanctuary refurbishment. The music is by the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate.

Ave Maria!

Recently the renovations for the chapel at our friary in Bloomington, IN were completed with a full refurbishment of the Sanctuary.  It now has an altar rail, stained glass, and a new altar and rererdos suitable for the Traditional Latin Mass. Archbishop Daniel Mark Buechlein, O.S.B. performed the consecration ceremony. The ground breaking for the new friary, which occurred the same day, will be posted as a separate video.

Ave Maria!

In the homily for the memorial of St. Agnes of Assisi (Poor Clare, Virgin and Abbess, Nov 19), Fr. Maximilian draws from the life of the saint, whose name means “lamb,” lessons in holiness that we can apply to our own Christian life.

St. Agnes laid down her own life to take up consecrated life, following Christ and offering herself up in imitation of Him.

Ave Maria!
