Welcome to St. Rose

This community was established by Bishop

George Lucas, former Bishop of Springfield, in the

fall of 2008 for the celebration of the extraordinary

form of the Roman Missal (Traditional Latin

Mass). If you are not familiar with this rite, do not

hesitate to ask for help from the ushers.

To follow the liturgy on Sunday, you need a red

booklet (pews) and the Sunday proper leaflet

(vestibule). For sung Masses, you may also wish to

take a hymnal (vestibule) to sing along.

On weekdays, you need a Latin-English Missal.

They are available at Poppe‘s in Quincy & St. John

Fisher Bookstore in Jacksonville (see back of bulle-

tin). You may also follow the ordinary in the red

booklet.

Do not hesitate to make the responses along with

the altar boys, if you are able to do so.

To join the St. Rose of Lima Chaplaincy, please

call the parish office at 217-222-2511 or mail one

of the cards found in the back of the Church.

On Sundays and Holy Days, please come and

join us after Mass in the Church hall for coffee

and donuts.

If you ask many Catholics today, what we mean

by the term ‗Immaculate Conception‘, more than likely

they will reply that we are referring to the miraculous

conception of Jesus on the day Archangel Gabriel an-

nounced to the Blessed Virgin she would be the Mother

of the Savior. This, of course, is one of the greatest mo-

ments in Salvation History, the moment God assumed a

human nature, the Incarnation, but it is not what we

mean by Immaculate Conception.

The Divine plan of salvation goes back way be-

yond the Annunciation. It starts in the Divine Wisdom

of God before time itself. The Incarnation has to take

place in a woman‘s womb and how could the thrice Holy

God assume a human nature in a creature tainted by sin?

This woman had to be free of sin to be a fitting dwelling

for God. The collect of today‘s Mass highlights this as-

pect of the mystery we call the Immaculate Conception.

―O God who through the Immaculate Concep-

tion of the Virgin prepared for Your Son a fitting habita-

tion; we pray that You, who preserved Her from all stain,

by the death foreseen of this Your same Son, will grant

us also through Her intercession to come cleansed to

You.‖

The mystery of the Immaculate Conception

should be a source of great hope for us. The Blessed

Virgin is a woman, fully human, not God and Man like

Her Son. And yet through the grace which Christ won

for us all on the Cross, His Mother, even before her

birth was preserved from sin so that she might prove to

be the most fitting of mothers, the Mother of God, of

Jesus Christ, the Mother of Him who is at once both

God and Man. And today‘s collect goes on to encourage

us to ask for the necessary graces for our own lives

through the intercession of this Virgin.

The Immaculate Conception is the name under

which Our Lady is patroness of this country and also pa-

troness of our diocese, the diocese of Springfield in Illi-

nois. December 8 is also a feast of obligation.

From the Desk of Fr. D

The Immaculate Conception Church News

Sunday, December 6: Second Sunday of Advent: The

liturgy focuses today on St. John the Baptist, the fore-

runner, who represents the expectation and hope of the

just for a messiah, at the eve of the manifestation of Je-

sus, Savior and Son of God.

Tuesday, December 8: Feast of the Immaculate Con-

ception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a Holy Day

of obligation, the patronal feast of the Catholic Church

in America and the patronal feast of our diocese. It is

also the title of the Cathedral of Springfield which was

recently re-dedicated after 16 months of restoration.

There is a strict obligation to attend Mass on this day.

Besides the 12:10 pm Mass, there will be a second

Mass at 6 pm.

On December 8, after the 6 pm Mass (around 7 pm),

the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed until 1 am on

December 9 for a night of prayer. This time of adora-

tion will replace our usual adoration on Thursday after-

noon. This is part of the National Night of Prayer for

Life. It was on the feast of the Immaculate Conception

(then celebrated on December 9) that Our Lady of

Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas and the unborn,

first appeared to St. Juan Diego. We pray for the sanc-

tity of all human life. 11pm – 12am central is the hour

of unity when all churches throughout the country are

praying together.

No Exposition and Benediction on Thursday.

Thank you for your generosity towards the Food Pantry

of Quincy Catholic Services. On Friday, December 4,

we brought them all the food you donated during the

month of November, as well as a monetary donation of

$1034.50. This is our modest contribution to feed the

hungry in our area. QCS thanks all of you for this gen-

erous gift.

Are you looking for Religious Christmas cards? We

have sample packets of 4 FSSP Christmas Cards avail-

able for free in Church vestibule. If you like them you

may order more from the Fraternity

Christmas Special! One week only. December 6th – 13th.

Beautiful St. Rose of Lima Stained Glass window Note

or Wish Cards. Set of 20 (10 of each) for a donation of

$15. (Usually $20) One is a reproduction of our rear

window above the choir loft: the seven angels/spirits

before the throne of God and the other one is a repro-

duction of our gospel-side window: the Nativity scene.

You may obtain them at the rectory during Business

hours or in the vestibule of the Church. All proceeds

go to St. Rose of Lima.

Liturgical Calendars: Two calendars may be ordered

which are based on the liturgical Calendar of the Ex-

traordinary form of the Latin Rite (Roman Missal

promulgated in 1962). Both have for theme churches

in Rome. We can get a discount if we order them in

bulk. The first one ($8) is published by the Priestly Fra-

ternity of St. Peter and contains black and white repro-

ductions of engravings of Roman Churches (including

the FSSP church in Rome, La Trinità dei Pelegrini)

and the other one ($10) is published by Angelus Press

and contains beautiful color photos of Roman

churches. Sample copies will be left in vestibule with

sign-up sheets. Do not remove them!

Coffee & Donuts: we are trying to organize our Coffee

& Donuts so that each month a different family (or a

small group) is taking care of it. It consists in picking up

the donuts and getting them ready as well as coffee and

juice right after both Masses on Sunday. Please see

Steve Zanger if you are willing to help in this regard.

There is no cost involved as the money given to that

effect is sufficient.

Our classes resume this week: Adult Religion class on

Wednesday 6:30 pm and Latin class on Thursday at

6:15 pm. Latin Class: Bring your translation of the 3

parts of Qui erant Christiani? Pp 42, 46, 50 so we can

make the correction together.

Music: Can you play a music instrument? We need

your help to enhance our Christmas program. Always

feel free to contact Dolores or Charlotte with your

ideas, comments and suggestions either in person or by

phone (Phone numbers are on the front of the weekly

bulletin).

Pope Benedict's general prayer intention for December

is: "That children may be respected and loved and

never be the victims of exploitation in its various

forms". His mission intention is: "That at Christmas the

peoples of the earth may recognise in the Word Incar-

nate the light which illuminates every man, and that the

nations may open their doors to Christ, the Saviour of

the world".

Prayer of a mother: O God, grant that one of my sons becomes a priest! I promise to live as a good Christian woman and will lead my children to all that is good, wherewith I hope to receive the grace to be able to give You, O God, a holy priest. The prayer was short yet so

powerful that a flood of priestly vocations were bestowed

upon the town of Lu (500 priestly and religious voca-

tions in 50 years starting in 1881…).
