Dear Friends,
This past Sunday we had the opportunity to celebrate a Feast Day which can often pass by unnoticed and under-appreciated by many Catholics.
November 9 is always the Feast of the Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome, but for those Catholics who do not attend Mass on a daily basis, the opportunity to hear about this feast only comes about when November 9 is a Sunday.
HIGHLAND — The Feast of St. Philip the Apostle will be celebrated with a Mass on Sunday, May 4, at 1 p.m. at St. Philip Church.

BARABOO — The 100th annual Corpus Christi Mass and procession at Durward’s Glen will take place on Sunday, June 2, at 12 noon.
The Feast of Corpus Christi dates back to AD 1230. This feast is especially meaningful because it is one time when Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament is exposed not just to faithful Catholics but to everyone present.
The Mass will be celebrated at the outdoor Holy Family altar by Fr. Pedro Escribano from the Society of Jesus Christ the Priest. This is the 100th year that Corpus Christi has been celebrated at Durward’s Glen.
On November 1, 1950, more than 500,000 joyful people packed St. Peter’s Square to hear Pope Pius XII proclaim the dogma of the Assumption of Mary into Heaven.
In Munificentissimus Deus, Pope Pius XII proclaimed that “the “Immaculate Mother of God, the ever-virgin Mary, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul into Heavenly glory.”
In no. 59 of the Dogmatic Constitution Lumen Gentium, the Second Vatican Council affirmed this dogma of the Church.
Pope Pius XII proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption to counter the loss of reverence and respect for the God-given identity of every human being.
