Here is a note from, Fr. Sean Connolly, the new pastor of St. Margaret of Cortona, Bronx:

The Low Latin Mass at St. Margaret’s on the first Sunday of each month at 3:00 p.m. is discontinued. We will be offering instead, a Sung Latin Mass at 12 noon in honor of the Immaculate Heart of Mary every First Saturday of the month. I hope many of you join us each month for this Mass, which is meant to help as many souls as possible fulfill the request of the Mother of God given at Fatima:

In reparation for the blasphemies committed against the Immaculate Heart, we are to do the following on the First Saturday of 5 consecutive months:

-Go to Confession
-Receive Holy Communion
-Recite 5 decades of the Rosary
-Meditate for 15 minutes on the mysteries of the Rosary

The first, First Saturday Mass in honor of the Immaculate Heart is this Saturday 7th September. Recitation of the Rosary at 11:30 a.m. The Sung Mass follows at 12 noon.
