Ember Wednesday of Pentecost

The Ember Wednesday maintains the spirit of Pentecost; throughout the Mass there is mention of the special presence of the Holy Spirit of God, and of divine protection over Christian people. The cures wrought and the various manifestations of the Holy Spirit are interpreted by St. Peter as the fulfillment of Joel’s prophecy concerning the pouring forth of the Holy Spirit upon God’s people in the fullness of time.
St. Boniface, Bishop/Martyr

A Benedictine monk of Exeter in England, he was sent by Gregory II to preach the Gospel in Germany. His evangelization efforts were so successful that, to this day, he is still venerated as the father of the Faith in Germany. He would become the Archbishop of Mainz and later martyred in 754 during the last of his missionary journeys.

Mater Dei Personal Parish is served by the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) with the approval and blessing of the Most Reverend Edward J. Burns, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Dallas. The Priestly Fraternity of Saint Peter (FSSP) serves in apostolates across the world, with the faithful celebration of the traditional Mass and Sacraments (Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite) at the center of their charism.

You are not alone! All over the globe people are discovering the treasure that has been at the heart of the Catholic Liturgy since the first century. Do not feel out of place if you are not familiar with Latin (you will see most people reading a translation) or if the actions on the altar look different – this same Mass was known by Roman Catholics around the world for centuries!
