Every year, four seminaries (St. Charles, Mount St. Mary's, Dunwoodie, and Seton Hall) come together for a tournament weekend, battling for the coveted Rector's Cup. Currently, we do not hold the Cup, for we have lost the tournament the last three years. The Rector and the seminary, and Bishop Burbidge, are very excited and hopeful that we can win back the Cup this year. There is a lot of talent on the team, including yours truly, who is out of shape, but a lot of the others are not so out of shape.
We are playing the Baptist Seminary across the street tomorrow at 2pm, so pray for Victory to be ours!! Next week is the last week of practice and the Tournament begins Saturday morning with our game at 11am at Dunwoodie. We practiced today in the pouring rain, and are looking better everyday. The coach is a Deacon, who is very hopeful for a St. Charles Victory since this is his last opportunity.
Keep us in your prayers on Saturday the 29th and Sunday the 30th. I will post the results as soon as I get a chance.
Finally for today, I hope some of you were able to make the Mass for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Dunn, NC to celebrate the initiation of the Motu Proprio, Summorum Pontificum, in the Diocese of Raleigh. The "Traditional Latin Mass," now deemed the "old form" or "extraordinary form" of the Roman Rite, was offered there with the Bishop present. On the link above, you can read the Bishop's statement, which has received praise from others who are very concerned with the proper implementation of the Motu Proprio. Enjoy the riches of our Faith!

We weren't able to make the Mass in Dunn but out Fr. has had the Tridetine Low Mass several times just this week! And has 3 young boys trained already for serving. Glory Be! And God Bless.
And remember Soccer is a challenge but we need our future priests in one piece.
Brian was kind enough to take me to Sacred Heart Church for the High Mass. It was absolutely awesome! I love the reverence; the mystery; the beauty of the Latin Mass. You probably know we have had Latin Masses here in Burgaw, too. Father, in his limited time left with us; is offering the Latin Mass three times a week for us. (If I haven't stated something correctly, I know either you or our friend Ben will happily correct me!)
