#Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Text
Thinking about this Catholic Church I went to over the weekend near the boarder of Utah.
It’s no secret that church attendance is dying more and more. There’s hardly anyone left at this one. The poor priest we had was advanced in years, you knew he probably had to be out of retirement to help, and struggled to even walk with a back so hunched over. When I saw him struggle, it made me want to cry. He had absolutely no one to help him at the altar, no deacons, no extra priest, no altar boys, no altar girls, just a couple door greeters opposite side of where the altar is. They used pre-recorded music because they had no piano player. Poor Father was too weak to give us Holy Communion himself. He had one of the sisters do it in his place. Normally, he said, a Catholic school would be supported by its church next to it but instead, since Mass attendance has dropped significantly, the school itself is supporting the church. The school itself has sisters that teach 51 students maximum. I don’t know how many families used to attend Mass there, but my heart felt so sad. Father says if we knew anyone that could support them financially, to reach out to them. If you are in a position where you can donate, please see the link below. If you are unable to donate, please don’t feel pressured or obligated to do so, but I ask you to join me in prayer.

The preface for today’s liturgy, prayed just before the “Holy, Holy, Holy” in the Mass, offers a beautiful line that does a lot to explain why we celebrate the Assumption in the first place. The preface says that the Blessed Mother “was assumed into heaven as the beginning and image of your church’s coming to perfection, and a sign of sure hope and comfort to your pilgrim people.” In other words, Mary’s Assumption is a promise of God’s hope and desire for all of us, not a one-off miracle solely for her sake. Through the Immaculate Conception, Mary was free from original sin in order to be able to cooperate completely with God in the Annunciation, welcoming Jesus’ incarnation. She has in full the freedom that all of us were made for. And in the Assumption, we see where that full freedom leads: to the fullness of life, both soul and body, with God. This is what we are made for, and Mary goes before us to show the way.
Sam Sawyer, S.J.

Here is a short guide to a beautiful devotion to Jesus’ Passion called the “Chaplet of the Precious Blood.” It contains powerful prayers that can be prayed using an ordinary rosary.
Make the sign of the cross.
On the first large bead, recite the Apostles’ Creed.
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
Creator of heaven and earth,
and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried;
he descended into hell;
on the third day he rose again from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;
from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and life everlasting.
Amen.
After that, say the following prayer:
May the Precious Blood that flows out from the Sacred Head of Our Lord Jesus Christ cover us now and forever. Amen.
For each decade of beads, there is a different wound of Jesus to meditate on.
1) The Nailing of the Right Hand of Our Lord Jesus.
Say the following prayer:
By the Precious Wound in Thy Right Hand and through the pain of the nail which pierced Thy Right Hand, may the Precious Blood that pours out from there, convert many souls and save sinners of the whole world. Amen.
Remaining on the same bead, pray an Our Father and Hail Mary.
Then on the small beads pray, “Precious Blood of Jesus Christ. Save us and the whole world.“
At the end of each decade pray the “Glory Be.“
Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit;as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
2) The Nailing of the Left Hand of Our Lord Jesus
Say the following prayer:
By the Precious Wound in Thy Left Hand and through the pain of the nail which pierced Thy Left Hand, may the Precious Blood that pours out from there relieve Souls in Purgatory and protect the dying against the attacks of evil spirits. Amen.
Repeat the same sequence as the first mystery.
3) The Nailing of the Right Foot of Our Lord Jesus
Say the following prayer:
By the Precious Wound in Thy Right Foot and through the pain of the nail which pierced Thy Right Foot, may the Precious Blood that pours out from there cover the foundation of the Catholic Church against the plans of the evil spirit and evil men. Amen.
Repeat the same sequence as the first mystery.
4) The Nailing of the Left Foot of Our Lord Jesus
Say the following prayer:
By the Precious Wound in Thy Left Foot, and through the pain of the nail which pierced Thy Left Foot, may the Precious Blood that pours out from there protect us from the plans and the attacks of evil spirits and their minions. Amen.
Repeat the same sequence as the first mystery.
5) The Piercing of the Sacred Side of Our Lord Jesus.
Say the following prayer:
By the Precious Wound in Thy Sacred Side and through the pain of the lance which pierced Thy Sacred Side, may the Precious Blood and Water that pours out from there cure the sick, bring repentance to the dying, and bring us to eternal happiness with God. Amen.
Repeat the same sequence as the first mystery.
At the end of the Chaplet, pray these prayers.
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy; our life, our sweetness, and our hope. To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve; to thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears. Turn then most gracious advocate, thine eyes of mercy towards us; and after this our exile, show unto us the Blessed Fruit of thy womb, Jesus. O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary!
Pray for us, Oh holy Mother of God;
That we may be made worthy of the promises of Christ.
O Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, we honor, worship and adore Thee Heal the wounds our souls and wash away the sins of the whole world. O Precious Blood, have mercy. Amen.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus,
Have mercy on us.
Immaculate Heart of Mary,
Pray for us.
St. Joseph,
Pray for us.
Sts. Peter and Paul,
Pray for us.
St. John at the foot of the Cross,
Pray for us.
St. Mary Magdalene,
Pray for us.
All ye Saints and Angels,
Pray for us.

Our Lady of Fatima is one of the most revered apparitions of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church.
The Feast of Our Lady of Fatima marks the date she first appeared to three shepherd children in 1917 in Fatima, Portugal.
The messages delivered during these apparitions included a call to repentance, prayer and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

How many little holidays celebrating the Virgin Mary (lovely lady I admit) do Catholics have?? It feels like there's one every other month or smth
Jan 1 - Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God
Feb 2 - Feast of the Purification
Mar 25 - Solemnity of the Annunciation
May 31 - Feast of the Visitation
Aug 15 - Solemnity of the Assumption
Aug 22 - Memorial of the Queenship of Mary
Sep 8 - Feast of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Sept 15 - Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows
Oct 7 - Memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary
Nov 21 - Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Dec 8 - Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception
There are also many optional memorials for specific titles and apparitions of Our Lady (for example, I celebrate the optional Memorial of Our Lady of Perpetual Help), so yeah, we're lousy with feasts for her!
There's also the Monday after Pentecost and 9 days after Corpus Christi dedicated to Mary Mother of the Church and the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary respectively

December 8th ~ Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary
To the honor of the Holy and Undivided Trinity, to the glory and adornment of the Virgin Mother of God, to the exaltation of the Catholic Faith and the increase of the Christian religion, by the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the blessed Apostles, Peter and Paul, and by Our own, We declare, pronounce, and define that the doctrine, which holds that the most Blessed Virgin Mary at the first instant of her conception, by a singular grace and privilege of Almighty God, in virtue of the merits of Christ Jesus, the Savior of the human race, was preserved immaculate from all stain of original sin, has been revealed by God, and on this account must be firmly and constantly believed by all the faithful. Wherefore, if any should presume to think in their hearts otherwise than as it has been defined by Us, which God avert, let them know and understand that they are condemned by their own judgment; that they have suffered shipwreck in regard to faith, and have revolted from the unity of the Church; and what is more, that by their own act they subject themselves to the penalties established by law, if, what they think in their heart, they should to signify by word or writing or any other external means.
Pope Pius IX, Papal Bull “Ineffabilis Deus”, Dec. 8, 1854, The Denzinger no. 1641.

Hi i wrote the post re: insight into who Meghan was really attacking, and i agree with the anon who finds the Catholic nun story as suspicious. I don’t know how you would be able to categorize your school as a private all girls Catholic high school when the founding Sisters renounced their vows. I was educated in the Catholic school separate system, from elementary to high school, albeit it was not private education, I had a nun as a French teacher in high school but we also had some students that were atheists attending (it made for very entertaining debates between the student and the teachers:). As usual with every story Meghan weaves you have to take it with a big grain of salt. I am afraid this story might end up like the Soap commercial story, twisted beyond all recognition. I double checked Lady c’s Sussex bio to see if she wrote about the Nun issue at Immaculate Heart but nothing. All she mentioned was that the School was founded in 1906 and remained a Catholic prep school for the Hollywood elite and “aspirational” would send their children.
Hi again! Welcome back!
I just chatted with my mom as well and she was raised strict Roman Catholic. I read her that paragraph and she said she needed a glass of wine to relax her mind after trying to figure that nonsense out.
She did say though that for it to be a Catholic School, it had to be "ordained?" by the church. She said if the nuns renounced their vows then the school would no longer be Catholic.
But I went online and did some research. As usual, Meghan left out a lot of details. So some nuns quit, but the ones remained are why Immaculate Heart continued.
Immaculate Heart Community[edit]
By the 1960s there were 600 professed Sisters in 68 elementary schools, 11 high schools, one college, and two hospitals. In the late 1960s a dispute arose between the institute and Archbishop James Francis McIntyre of Los Angeles. The IHM Sisters took part in a process of renewal led by the psychologist Dr. Carl Rogers, founder of the Center for the Study of the Person, an affiliate of the Western Behavioral Sciences Institute. Carl Rogers, and his associates Bruce Meador and Bill Coulson, conducted encounter groups according to the principles of the Human Potential Movement.[5] In such encounter groups, under the direction of a facilitator, participants were encouraged to share their real feelings as they interacted with the other group participants.
The first encounter group was held in the summer of 1966 at the Immaculate Heart Novitiate in Montecito, California. With its apparent success, the experiment was begun en masse in 1967, with all the sisters and the schools they ran in the Los Angeles Archdiocese participating. The encounter groups facilitated change in the IHM community. It was among the first groups of women religious to modernize their rule in accord with the directives of Vatican II. Changes included a more democratic form of governance and replacing their religious attire with civilian dress. Cardinal McIntyre refused to let the sisters teach in archdiocese schools unless they wore habits and adhered to a variety of traditional rules.[6] The sisters, in turn, objected to the Archbishop dictating their attire, bedtimes, and hours of prayer.[7]
Then-superior Anita Caspary remained firm in implementing the reforms and on February 1, 1970, about 300 of the IHM Sisters followed Caspary and were subsequently dispensed from their vows and fired from the schools in the archdiocese.[7][8][9] They went on to form a non-canonical group that admits both men and women known as the Immaculate Heart Community.[10] The 68 sisters who decided to remain were allowed to keep the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary as their name. As of 2015 there are five sisters.
An ensuing property settlement left remaining the IHM sisters with certain properties, while those dispensed obtained control of Immaculate Heart College and Immaculate Heart High School in Los Angeles.
The headquarters of the Immaculate Heart Community are at 5515 Franklin Avenue near Western Avenue, in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles. Immaculate Heart Blythe Street serves the San Fernando Valley, located in Panorama City, Los Angeles. The Immaculate Heart Community has since 1943 run a Center for Spiritual Renewal and La Casa de Maria on 26 acres in Montecito, California.[11] This was also the novitiate for many years.[12] As of 2011 the Immaculate Heart Community numbered 160 members.[6]
