Today's feast of the Translation of the Holy House of Loreto is new to the General Roman Calendar, but was kept in the Diocese of Middlesbrough from its foundation. We celebrate the place where the Incarnation took place. As it says above the altar in the Holy House: HIC VERBUM CARO FACTUM EST - HERE the Word was made flesh.
St Joseph - a patron for every season
The Year of St Joseph has ended, but the time to seek his protection continues.
The Immaculate Mother of God
Holy light on earth’s horizon,
Star of hope to fallen man,
Light amid a world of shadows,
Dawn of God’s redemptive plan;
Chosen from eternal ages,
Thou alone of all our race,
By thy Son’s atoning merits
Wast conceived in perfect grace.
Fr Edward Caswall, Cong. Orat.
