Latin Classes Forming this Fall
Learn the Language of the Liturgy at Mater Ecclesiae
“Lessons in Liturgical Latin” is an attempt to teach the basics of the Latin language by using the “Ordo et Canon Missae” (the order and canon of the mass) as the only teaching resource. Starting with the “Aspérges mē” and ending with the beginning of the Gospel of John, you will be guided through a variety of grammatical structures as they appear in the liturgy.
Check the Knights of Columbus website for details.

Dress Code!
Dress Code
We want to foster the greatest reverence and respect for Our Lord at Mater Ecclesiae. Our attire is an outward expression of our love for the Lord and shows how important He is to us. It is also a sign of our respect for the House of God.
Therefore, one should always wear their “Sunday Best” to Mass: modesty, good taste and common sense should prevail. Accordingly, the following rules apply:
• NO SHORTS, EVER, FOR MEN, WOMEN OR CHILDREN.
• Women: No revealing clothing, low necklines, short skirts or bare midriffs.
Please dress modestly with dignity and self-respect. We suggest that women wear a head covering.
• Men: No tattered, soiled work clothes, old jeans or gym clothes. Please wear “business or business casual attire” to set a good example for our young men and boys.
