Visitors

Welcome to historic St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church! Built over a century ago, we all owe a debt of gratitude to the Irish faithful who were the first to call this church their parish. For apart from the countless sacrifices made by that first generation of faithful to build a suitable house of prayer and divine worship for the greater glory of God, this beautiful church would not exist.

Our beautiful stained glass windows, perhaps the most stunning feature of the church, have been newly restored. Rendered in the Munich Pictorial style, they depict scenes from the life of Christ as well as images of various angels and saints.

The careful observer will discern elements from the Gothic, Romanesque, and Byzantine styles which together make up the style known as Venetian Gothic. Bishop Paprocki consecrated the new main and side altars in 2012 and established the church as a personal parish on New Years Day, 2014.

The liturgy celebrated at St. Rose follows the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite, and employs primarily the ancient Latin language. On Sundays, translations of both the ordinary and propers of the Mass are provided. To follow daily Mass you may wish to invest in a daily Latin English Missal available at the rectory or download an app like IMass. Internet access is available in church at StRoseChurch (password: latinmass). Make sure to mute your device while in church. Also, St. Rose’s state-of-the-art heating and cooling system assures a comfortable environment year round in which to pray and worship.

After both Sunday Masses, visitors are invited to meet and greet our parishioners in the parish hall and socialize over coffee and donuts. If interested in joining the parish, simply call the office.

ST. ROSE OF LIMA

PARISH

Quincy, Illinois

A Personal Parish

for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite

“Traditional Latin Mass”

Under the Pastoral Care of The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter

Fr. Arnaud Devillers, FSSP Pastor

During the Candlemas liturgy, as the faithful receive their candles from the hands of the priest, the choir sings as long as necessary the Canticle of St. Simeon, and use the following text as refrain: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, et gloriam plebis tuae Israel. “Light for the revelation of the nations (pagans) and glory of your people Israel”. The same text is intentionally alluded to in the first sentence of Vatican II’s Dogmatic Constitution on the Church: “Lumen gentium cum sit Christus…” “Since Christ is the light of nations…”, so that the document could be entitled Lumen Gentium. Christ indeed is the light of the world, and anyone who follows Him “will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” (Jn. 8:12). As we shall see, what is stated in this conciliar document is given liturgical expression in the feast of Candlemas.

So, Christ (the Messiah) is the Light of the world and our glory. For as faithful Catholics, we have been “grafted into the good olive tree” (Rom. 11:24) of Israel through our faith in Christ our Redeemer. But the opening sentence of Lumen Gentium directs our attention to the consequence of this truth: “Since Christ is the Light of the world, this Sacred Synod, gathered together in the Holy Spirit, eagerly desires, by proclaiming the Gospel to every creature, to bring the light of Christ to all men, a light brightly visible on the countenance of the Church.” With this goal of evangelization in mind, the Council fathers desire “now to unfold more fully to the faithful of the Church and to the whole world its own inner nature and universal mission.”

Five prayers are said by the priest to bless the candles. They associate the light of these candles with the operation of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. Prayer 2: the flame of the candle is linked to the fire of the Holy Spirit, that “being worthily inflamed with the holy fire of Thy most sweet charity, we may deserve to be presented in the holy temple

of Thy glory” — the Church Triumphant and eventually “the universal Church.”

Prayer 3: as candlelight dispels the darkness of the night, so we pray that “our hearts, illumined by invisible fire (that is by the splendor of the Holy Spirit), may be free from the blindness of all vice.” And with the “eye of our mind having been cleansed,” we pray that we “may be able to discern what is pleasing to [God] and profitable to our salvation; so that after the perilous darkness of this life, we may deserve to attain to never-failing light.”

Prayer 4: as the candles provide us with outward light, we pray that “the interior light of the Holy Spirit may never be wanting to our minds.”

Prayer 5: as Simeon, illumined by the light of the Holy Spirit, recognized Christ when He was presented in the temple, we pray to be so enlightened and taught by the same Holy Spirit that we too may likewise truly acknowledge and faithfully love the Lord Jesus.

As to the use of candles, before Mass we process with them because we are called to walk in the light of life — in “newness of life”. During the Mass, we also hold them when the gospel (Evangelium; i.e., Good News) is sung, because the Gospel bears witness to Christ our Light, who is the fullness of divine revelation, the “heir of all things, by whom also He made the world” (Heb. 1:1). Finally, we hold them from the Sanctus through Holy Communion (inclusive), since the Spirit bears witness to Christ (Jn. 15:26) our paschal sacrifice. Moreover, He unites us to one another through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, who is wholly contained (i.e., with His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity) under the sacramental species of bread and wine.
