Nativity of St. John the Baptist

The liturgy celebrates in the birth of St. John the Baptist the dawn of salvation, the appearance in the world of the forerunner of the Messias. “The Prophet of the Most High”, he was foretold by Jeremias and Isaias; indeed, in his mother’s womb, he was destined to herald our Savior and prepare souls for His coming.

Mater Dei Catholic 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!
