Happy Couple!

It is exactly one year ago today since I enrolled in the Militia Immaculata. Today I renewed my vows in a private consecration. Is any one else enrolled in the Crusade? .png) Edited by Mrs.Pogle, Sunday, 8. November 2009, 21:53.

"Living Life on the Home Front!" My Blog: Life on the Home Front  “It is most laudable in a married woman to be devout, but she must never forget that she is a housewife. And sometimes she must leave God at the altar to find Him in her housekeeping.” ~ St. Frances of Rome | |

I am and my anniversary is on the Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary, 7 October. (Hmmm, I am noticing my connections to Franciscans! St. Maximilian Kolbe has been on my "team" since I was received into full communion, and then there is the influence of Mother Angelica, Fr. Benedict Groeschel and now I am listening to a series on St. Francis of Assisi by Fr. Andrew Apostoli. I would never have imagined being drawn to Franciscan spirituality before, but have very recently decided I must seriously discern whether God is calling me to a deeper look into St. Francis.) |

I followed your link Mrs. P, and found that the HQ of the crusade is on Redclyffe Road. That makes it a small but beautiful church (designed by Pugin I think) which now belongs to the Franciscans. But when I was a teenager, it was my parish church. We had to cross Barton bridge to get to Mass and we were usually held up so that the bridge could swing and allow a ship through. SeanJ |

The church is listed as Grade 1 and is considered to be the chief work of the architect Edward Welby Pugin. It is a remarkably complete example of Victorian Catholic Church architecture in the Gothic style. Pevsner called it ‘Pugin’s masterwork’. Franciscan Mass Association wow,Sean, you were very lucky to have this as your parish church I am not a member of the crusade, but I do get the magazine The Crusader and enrol people in the Franciscan Mass Association (which reminds me that it's time I renewed the enrolment for all forum members) My dad was a "crusader" and I've often thought of joining so maybe now I'll actually do something about it.

After the Franciscans took it over, my mother used to go there one morning a week and stuff newsletters or magazines into evelopes. SeanJ |
