Feast of Our Lady of Good Remedy

Eight hundred years ago Christians were being captured and sold into slavery by the thousands, and nobody knew what to do about it. Then, in the year 1198, a man had an idea. St. John of Matha founded the Trinitarians to go to the slave markets, buy the Christian slaves and set them free. To carry out this plan, the Trinitarians needed large amounts of money. So, they placed their fund-raising efforts under the patronage of Mary. They were so successful at that, over the centuries, the Trinitarians were able to free thousands and thousands of people and to return them safely home. In gratitude for her miraculous assistance, St. John of Matha honored Mary with the title of "Our Lady of Good Remedy." Devotion to Mary under this ancient title is widely known in Europe and Latin America, and the Church celebrates her feast day on October 8. Our Lady of Good Remedy is often depicted as the Virgin Mary handing a bag of money to St. John of Matha. When in need - for whatever reason, but especially where you have had difficulty obtaining help - invoke the aid of Our Lady of Good Remedy, and you will surely experience the power of her intercession.

Our Lady of Good Remedy, pray for us!

High Mass and Candlelight Procession on Friday, Oct 13

Everyone can gain a plenary indulgence by participating in a public devotion to Our Lady on this day, along with the usual conditions.

Afterwards we will have gathering in the hall.  Father de Rosa will be home and it will be an opportunity to visit with him and hear about his travels in Europe.  Please bring an appetizer or dessert to share.

Novena to Our Lady of Good Remedy: September 29 - October 7

In preparation for the feast of our patroness, Our Lady of Good Remedy, on Sunday, October 8, you might like to do something special---perhaps a novena of Holy Hours or an extra decade of the most Holy Rosary.   The feast of Our Lady of Good Remedy is the day after the Feast of the Most Holy Rosary.  We are already praying a perpetual novena to Our Lady under this title until our request for a daily Traditional Latin Mass is available in Fredericksburg.
