In the interest of preserving the building which is being deeded to a canonically erected Association of the Faithful, we are making a special offer to buyers of our book . Your purchase of a beautifully illustrated, informative and inspirational Catholic book, will, at the same time, be of great benefit towards helping to preserve the historic edifice which through the sacrificial efforts of some, has been preserved from destruction.
For every book purchase which mentions “St. Rose”, a donation will be made to the Association of the Faithful- (Their web page > http://strosechapel.com/ ).

EVER ANCIENT, EVER NEW TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS COMPENDIUM OF CATHOLIC DOCTRINE
This is a book that I did not intend to write – not before 2013, anyway. But Divine Providence planted the seed for it way back before 1993 – the year Fr. Bowden left St. Rose. See page vii of my book where I mention this and of how the book finally came to be written.
The beauty of St. Rose inspired me to draw one of the arches into the background of the illustration on page iii. Buy a copy and see for yourself! Your purchase will be of financial help to the Association for the Preservation of St. Rose. When you order, mention “St. Rose”, and for each book ordered, $8 will be donated to the Association.
If you live locally, and would like to save on mailing costs, we can arrange for pick-up. Just let us know. Our e-mail can be found on the order page. You will find the ordering page here: Purchase Book
This excerpt from the Preface is the raison d’etre for which the book finally came to be: “For humanity caught up in the drab and dull monotony of day-to-day living with all its uncertainties and sorrows, what is it that would be most capable of drawing their hearts upward to heavenly joy, if not the most sublime, most ethereal worship of God this side of heaven? This, the greatest glory on earth, is in the hands of the Catholic Church which she magnificently shows forth in the traditional Latin Mass. The ritual, reverence, magnificence in which it must be celebrated is the sign of our belief that Christ is, here and now, present in our world of pain. Isn’t that something we should want to communicate to the entire world?”
