Back to the Catacombs!
We are sad to report that websites and bulletins for Diocesan Parishes run by the Diocese of Charlotte are now prohibited from having any mention of Latin Mass times or activities. Mass times will now be only be found by word of mouth sites like the Charlotte Latin Mass Community. Back to the catacombs we go!

Introit: Hail, holy Mother, who in childbirth brought forth the King Who rules heaven and earth world without end.

Commemoration of SAINT BLAISE

Blaise, a physician in Armenia, perceived that the ills of the soul are infinitely more grievious than those of the body. He was ordained a priest and later appointed bishop, but God permitted this healer of souls to retain the power of healing bodies. St. Blaise became known far and wide for his miraculous cures, and he is still invoked for protection against diseases of the throat. He was martyred in 316, during a persecution under Emperor Licinius.

O God, who gladdens us each year by the feast of Your blessed martyr bishop Blaise, mercifully grant that we who celebrate his birthday may also enjoy his protection.
