Acies March 25th

Tidewater Curia will hold its Acies at St. Gregory’s on March 25, 2007.  Attendance is required for active members; auxiliaries are also invited.  

Praesidia are encouraged to develop plans to ensure that auxiliaries are invited and welcomed to attend.  Likewise, it is important to note that all spiritual directors are welcome and that we very much would like them to attend, as well.

 

Divine Liturgy Scheduled for Deceased Legionaries

The month of November is soon approaching, which is a reminder to all  praesidia to schedule Mass for deceased Legionaries.  According to the Handbook, “In the month of November each year, each praesidium shall have a Mass celebrated for the souls of the legionary dead, not of that praesidium alone but of all the world.”

Joshua Miller Born

Joshua Francis Miller was born at 10:20 am on Tuesday September 19th in Norfolk Virginia.  His Father, Christopher Miller, is an active legionary at Our Lady of the Rosary in Virginia Beach.  His mother, Chelyse Miller, is an active Legionary at Queen of Angles Praesidium, also in Virginia Beach.

Joshua Completes Christian Initiation

On September 30th, Joshua Francis Miller was baptized, confirmed, and received Holy Communion.  

He received the sacrament of Holy Baptism, whereby his sins, original and actual were forgiven.  In this sacrament, he put on Christ, and became Christian.  His baptism was then perfected, as he was confirmed by chrismation with holy oil blessed by Bishop Andrew.  Properly dressed, he was then counted worthy to partake of the awesome mysteries of Christ, and to receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity of the uncreated and eternal God.
