The State Council of Knights of Columbus made a generous donation to help Call to Holiness bring Raymond Cardinal Burke to speak at a dinner on October 26 outside Detroit. The cardinal’s celebration of Mass on the following day will contain all of the ceremony appropriate for a prince of the Church.
Cardinal Burke was formerly the archbishop of St. Louis, founded the Guadalupe Shrine in La Crosse, Wis., while bishop there, and is a member of the Apostolic Signatura in Rome.
He was one of the cardinals who signed the Dubia requesting clarification from Pope Francis on the question of divorce, remarriage, and eligibility of receiving Holy Communion, stemming from Amoris Laetitia.
At the Call to Holiness Dinner, to be held Saturday, October 26 at Athena Hall in Roseville, the cardinal will address the topic, “Keeping Faith in a Time of Confusion.” Following the dinner will be a Holy Hour at Assumption Grotto in Detroit, which is open to all.
On Sunday, October 27, Cardinal Burke will be the celebrant of the Pontifical Mass in the Extraordinary Form (Tridentine) at Assumption Grotto. The Mass will be for the Feast of Christ the King, according to the 1962 calendar. The Assumption Grotto Choir will be accompanied by a professional orchestra, including members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra as well as professional soloists. The Pontifical Mass is rarely celebrated and will be a special opportunity in the Detroit area.
Members of the State Council of the Knights of Columbus are expected to be present for both occasions. The Sunday Mass seating in the church will be reserved for those who have attended the Saturday dinner. Overflow seating will be available in the school gymnasium where the Mass will be simulcast and attendees there may receive Holy Communion and fulfill their Sunday obligation.
Call to Holiness, Inc., was formed in 1996 as a lay Catholic apostolate, “obedient to the Vicar of Christ, faithful to the eternal truths of Jesus Christ.” Their purpose is “to defend and support the Magisterium, the teaching authority of the Catholic Church through prayer, education and evangelization.”
Tickets are available and additional information about the event can be found at www.calltoholiness.com or call 313-451-4659.
