Prior of the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem request your prayers

Dom Daniel Augustine Oppenheimer, Prior, Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem, celebrated the first public Mass of the Canons in the St. Louis Archdiocese yesterday at St. Joseph Church in Josephville.

He asked that we keep them in their prayers in their search for a church and rectory in which to relocate and commented on how fitting it was to have celebrated the first public Mass at a church and in a town named after St. Joseph, who intercedes in helping to find homes.

Archbishop Burke and the Canons are presently engaged in a search for a suitable location for their canonry in the general vicinity of St. Charles. The Canons' priestly ministry will include daily Mass in the Tridentine rite, and the religious education of children and adults.

If anyone is aware of facilities which could be used, Fr. Oppenheimer may be reached at (314) 633-2407.

In the meantime, please keep the Canons in your daily prayers so that suitable facilities may be located.
