Once again, we are very grateful to everyone who sent in their photographs of liturgies celebrated on the Immaculate Conception. We begin with two of the most recently established American apostolates of the FSSP, in Providence, Rhode Island and the Philadelphia suburb of Conshohocken; both churches are dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
Our next photopost will be of both Gaudete Sunday and Rorate Masses; a reminder will be posted on Friday. (Last year, we got up to three; let’s see if we can match or beat that!)

In mid-October of this year, the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest was invited into the Diocese of Pittsburgh and given the care of the quasi-parish of St John XXIII, dedicated to the Traditional Latin Mass. On December 8, the members of the Institute renewed its Consecration to our Lady under the title of her Immaculate Conception.
