Dear Faithful,

July and August are summer camp time for many of our priests and religious. I would like to thank them as well as all the volunteers for the generosity they showed organizing these camps for children. They make it all possible.

A camp is a great activity for children. It is an occasion to socialize outside the family and learn respon-sibility and fortitude through healthy entertainment. It is also for all of them a wonderful experience to live closer to the priests, brothers or sisters and to be encouraged by them in daily acts of virtue. And of course they have daily Mass during the camps! Let us pray Our Lady nurture the vocations that may have been made known to our children during these camps.

For the many counselors, a camp is an initiation to fatherhood or motherhood as they learn by practicing it in the daily care of children, guided by the light of the Catholic principles of education.

I would like also to thank here the parents for their trust. Year after year we are able to offer more and more camps for more and more campers. We had almost 20 camps this year and nearly 1000 campers. For most of you, dear parents, this trust is the natural continuation of the good work done in our schools. For those who do not have access to our schools, our camps offer the opportunity to take advantage of the benefits of Catholic education, recognizing that we follow the Church’s experience in this matter.

Finally, I want to thank all the benefactors of the camps and of the educational program we run in the District. Your tireless efforts, dear benefactors, allow us to maintain and increase the number of events, and hopefully also to improve them, by the grace of God. You rightly understand that the future of the youth is a preoccupation for all. How many of you will be surprised at the final judgment in realizing how much your material help contributed to produce so many fruits of holiness!

And as the schools have reopened their doors for a new school year, I take this opportunity also to thank all of their benefactors. Our schools cannot survive without your support. Parents too are making tremen-dous efforts and sacrifices, financially and in many other ways, for the good of the souls of the little ones. Nevertheless, it must be an effort of all of Christendom! May unceasing generous benefactors help the schools to pursue this blessed work of education.

I recommend to the Immaculate Heart of Mary the academic year of all these children, with the hope that all you parents remain faithful to your so-noble vocation, which requires knowledge, art, and grace to raise children according to the wishes of the Church in order to people Heaven with Saints.

With my blessing,

Father Arnaud Rostand

Book Review: Let Yourself Be Led by the ImmaculateTrue Devotion to Mary According to St. Maximilian Kolbe

For anyone not familiar with St. Maximilian Kolbe, this little gem of a booklet is an excellent introduction, jam-packed with insights on how we can grow closer in union with the Mother of God. For those familiar with St. Maximilian’s deep devotion to the Immaculate, this booklet will serve as a continuing source of inspiration and solace.

It is worth stressing that this spiritual booklet is fun-damentally practical, a veritable guide for us on how we can give ourselves over to the Immaculate. Not surpris-ingly, humble prayer is the foundation we must lay if we are to join ourselves to her. St. Maximilian cautions against relying on our intelligence or reason to know our Mother, as the intellect is too weak and reasoning “can lead to a detour.” Bl. John Duns Scotus is singled out as having composed the perfect example of humble prayer: “Deign to let me praise thee, O sacred Virgin, and give me strength against thine enemies.”

Humility necessarily leads to obedience, which is at the heart of St. Maximilian’s teaching. Our Lord Jesus and Mary both practiced perfect obedience toward each other. And this is how Mary acts as Mediatrix of all graces and as indispensable advocate for us. To pray directly to the Most Holy Trinity “with an express exclusion of her, is pride and something diabolical, and the essence of sin is always pride, that is, non-conformity with the will of God; and the will of God is this, that we go to Him…through the most holy Mother.” Once we have humbled ourselves and become obedient to the will of our Mother, it is then a matter for us to fuse our will with hers, “ just as her will is united most perfectly to the Will of God.”

This booklet is thoroughly infused with the language of peace and mercy and joy. For those who might be-come discouraged, who think “I don’t have the strength for this, to progress in this way; others can do it but not me,” St. Maximilian offers these gentle words of advice: “That is precisely what it is all about, that we don’t have the strength. And if someone feels this way, it is thanks to the most holy Mother. If someone feels he has the strength, then let him pray the Mother of God not to feel he has the strength because if someone relies on himself, then he is truly in danger of falling. Your whole point of support must be the Immaculate. We must never have confidence in ourselves.”

And again: “Let us let ourselves be led, then; let us be peaceful, peaceful; let us not attempt to do more than that which she wills or more quickly…Peace, then, peace, much peace in an unlimited confidence in her.…Above all, never let yourselves be troubled, never be frightened, never fear anything. The Immaculate, in fact, is she per-haps not aware of everything? If this were not the case, it would really be a problem.”

The booklet ends on an ominous, prophetic note: “Yesterday I was reading a book in French on the Immaculate. The authors have such hesitations about that which concerns the honor of the Divine Mother. They are of the opinion that though it is fitting to honor Mary, like the devil they do not want to bow before her.…And even if wise and learned theologians come and preach wise and sublime things, but teach you something else than what I have taught you, don’t believe them….We be-lieve that the Immaculate exists and that she leads us to our Lord Jesus Christ, and if someone teaches otherwise, let him be anathema!”

Thirty years later, wise and learned theologians, in the name of ecumenism, descended on Rome at Vatican II and refused to bow before Mary.

Santa Fe; Lyons, KansasNearly 60 men and boys from the chapels of St.

Marys, KS, Kansas City and Mexico, MO walked over-night for 33 miles—and in about 13 hours—from July 26-27 to the Padilla Cross at Lyons, KS. The granite memorial commemorates the spot where the cross of the Catholic Faith was first planted in North America by the Spaniards and the sacrifice made by Fray Juan de Padilla as our country’s protomartyr in 1542. Fr. Kenneth Novak related at the pilgrimage’s start the words of a veteran teenage pilgrim, who said that completing the 33 miles of the Lyons pilgrimage was more difficult than completing the 30 days of Spain’s famed Camino de Santiago which he had recently walked.

Auriesville, New YorkIn Auriesville, NY, on June 8, there stood three red

crosses, faded by the sun, almost seeming to guard the sacred ground on which the North American Martyrs were killed by the Iroquois Indians 400 years ago. Among those braving the mud and mosquitoes were Fr. Jordan Fahnestock and a group of youth from his parish of St. Jude’s in Eddystone, PA. They hiked, prayed, and sang during the ten-plus mile pilgrimage, and did not lose a single person to exhaustion!

Cataldo, IdahoAt sunrise on Friday, July 19th, over 200 pilgrims

attended Mass at Immaculate Conception Church in Post Falls, Idaho, and then began a 50-mile trek to the Cataldo Mission.

This pilgrimage would include three days of walk-ing—over mountains, through valleys, by lakes and streams—camping in the open in fields of hay, and arriving at Cataldo on Sunday for a Solemn High Mass celebrated by our District Superior, Fr. Arnaud Rostand. Also walking were Frs. Paul Vassal and Daniel Muscha, Fr. Pierre Duverger and newly or-dained priests Frs. John Hattrup, William Kimball and David Gillilan.

The Cataldo Mission, or the Mission of the Sacred Heart, was built by Jesuit missionaries, including Fr. De Smet, with the help of the Coeur d’Alene Indians, between 1850 and 1853. The beautiful white wooden church is the oldest standing building in Idaho and represents years of blackrobes’ sacrifices and suffer-ing to claim the wild land of the west for the Catholic Faith.

The shortest leg of the pilgrimage took place on Sunday, the pilgrims only having to complete the last 10 miles of their journey. After a morning’s walk in the sunshine, the band of Catholics, now almost 300 strong, with banners flying and to a tune of Christus Vincit, arrived at Cataldo and attended the Solemn High Mass on the lawn of the Mission.

Mother Cabrini, ColoradoOver 150 faithful participated in St. Isidore’s 14th

annual Mother Cabrini Pilgrimage, a difficult 2-day, 50-mile journey from St. Isidore’s Church in the plains of Watkins, Colorado through the heart of Denver to the foothills of Golden, Colorado, culminating with the Sacrifice of the Mass offered at the Shrine of Mother Cabrini. This year two Benedictine monks and a postulant, three seminarians and two of the priests of St. Isidore’s priory, Fr. Dennis McDonald and Fr. Richard Boyle (chaplain for this year’s pilgrimage), offered their spiritual guidance, support and encour-agement along the way. The presence of the religious elevated the overall spiritual atmosphere of the pilgrimage. Many families were also in attendance from out of state. Each pilgrim walked for his own personal intentions, as well as the overall intention of this year’s event: the perseverance of the SSPX and friends of Tradition for the triumph of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts, through the intercession of St. Joseph!

Meet the Team

Will you explain a little bit about what your role is at the District Office?

As District Bursar, my job is to be the bridge between the District Superior and all of the priests and chapels in the US for the gamut of administrative matters. To do this effectively, it requires me to manage a team of professional employees and consultants who give us the best advice in all the areas with which we deal, such as accounting, legal work, insurance, project management/construction and financial planning. All of this helps us to guide the priests in the more material side of their apostolate to use efficient, prudential and money-saving means.

I see our team’s work as very similar to the Guardian Angels who are always around us, protecting us, doing a very hidden work while we go about our essential business. So it is with the work of a Bursar, who goes around making sure that the essential work of the apostolate can continue by having in place all of the proper policies, finances and legal structures to operate in our world.

What are some of the biggest needs or challenges of the District Office?

As Bursar, one still has to see the final cause but in light of the material cause. Continuing to give the unadulterated faith to souls and bringing them to eternal salvation cannot be done unless we have churches, schools, houses, cars, plane tickets for transportation of priests, etc. The work of the SSPX relies on the generosity of the faithful in their donations and paying tuition.

Therefore, the biggest challenge is making the faithful aware of the need of their generosity to help this work continue. Men in the past have given much to build beautiful churches or to help create endowments for Catholic education, and their sacrifices continue to bear fruit today. It is this same awareness that is so essential to communicate to the faithful, and even though our faithful are quite generous, we must continue to stress this importance.

What do you like most about being District Bursar? What do you like the least about being a District Bursar?

I went to the seminary to become a priest and I imagined myself being constantly busied with very spiritual work, such as preaching, giving the sacraments or giving retreats. Although I still have two mission chapels, most of my week is taken up with the material concerns of the District and Regina Coeli House. This is both a blessing and a cross, because while it gives me good experience as a young priest in administrative skills, it can easily snuff out one’s essential priestly duties with all of its incessant minutiae. But someone has to do it!

What are some of the programs you’ve implemented at the District Office that you are excited about?

The District has made some great strides in administration in recent years. An accounting overhaul took place in the District when I was assigned as Bursar three years ago. This has helped make each chapel’s accounts more transparent to the District Office. It has also helped us to consolidate and see in what areas we need to reduce expenses. It led us to create corporate airline programs to save more money on airfare as well as looking into other ways to save money through clearer policies and procedures. Knowing how much the faithful sacrifice to donate to the SSPX, these means are a great way for us to practice poverty of spirit. It also raised the standards for our treasurers and reduced the amount of frivolous work on all sides.

What is one goal for the District Office that you are excited about?

Catholic education is the hope for our future and the future of the Church. The more we can do to bolster it, the better, and the more vocations it will produce for our seminaries. But, as I said, the operating of our schools takes planning and budgeting and weighs heavily on our resources. While we are currently trying to make their operations more efficient with clearer financial aid programs and well-thought-out fundraising, I truly hope that in the future we can create ways of reducing the focus on making them operate and more on the quality of education by setting up endowments. We have a renewed planned giving guide that will be coming out in the near future which will hopefully be a strong first step in this direction.

Had you not become a priest, what might you have become?

When Providence made it clear to me that He wanted me to be a priest, I was already on my way to becoming a Chemical Engineer. Funny enough, when I left Georgia Tech for the seminary, I left my computer behind thinking, “Well, I guess that is it for computers for me.” Now, as Bursar, I spend most of my day using a computer! Do not tell me that God does not have a sense of humor!

What is your favorite sport and why?Tennis! It was a sport played by St. Aloysius

Gonzaga, St. Charles Borromeo and Cardinal Merry del Val (surely other great ones too of whom I am ignorant). You cannot say that about football! Tennis was a favorite of nobility because of its harmony between physical exercise and controlled technique. It is also very much a thinking game.

Who is your favorite author and why?Archbishop Lefebvre is such a clear light in these

times. He truly gives us a balanced approach in these turbulent times on so many topics: doctrine, liturgy, spirituality and morals. His deep love for the Faith and tenacious paternity over souls

echoes loud and clear in all of his writings and conferences.

What was it like growing up? Can you tell us a little bit about your family?

We were five feisty boys growing up, doing very much boyish things. We prayed the rosary every day I can remember and were very involved in serving Holy Mass. The Sacred and Immaculate Hearts made up for all of our defects, which in a family of five boys were many.

Who is/was the person who most influenced you and why?

I cannot attribute a great influence to any one person. Having been blessed with very calm and stable priests growing up, I certainly owe much to them. My parents also struck a wonderful balance between common sense and trying to rise above the tyranny of the modern world.

Who is your favorite composer?Josquin des Prez who wrote so much beautiful

early Renaissance polyphony.

What is the last book you read?A Family of Brigands in 1793 published by

St. Thomas Aquinas Seminary Editions. It is a wonderful account of true nobility in flesh and blood. In that book one experiences a reflection of the true order that God meant to give to the family and society, even during turbulent times such as the French Revolution.

What is your favorite month of the year and why?

My favorite month is the one in which Easter falls, because then is the full story of Redemption told in such a vivid way through the Sacred Liturgy of Holy Week, Easter and Easter Week. It is a time when so much of the mundane is put aside and a true spiritual silence, sorrow and joy invade the soul that devoutly attends these ancient and impressive ceremonies.
