The Ascension of Our Lord
The whole life of the Church is placed between Our Lord's Ascension and His return on the last day. Our confidence is that we are not waiting in vein for the final day, but that we are upheld by a spirit of immense hope. We are all called to go up to Heaven because of the actions of our Divine Redeemer. His Resurrection and Ascension is the pledge of our own; as we wait to follow Him we know, from the Epistle to the Hebrews, that the High Priest of the New Law, Christ, has become our perpetual Mediator with the Father. In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, the Collect tells us, It is "Our Redeemer" who today goes up to Heaven. What limit then can be set to the hope of the faithful Christian soul! May it even here on earth already dwell in "Spirit" in Heaven".
"Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking up to heave? He shall come in the same way as you have seen Him going up to Heaven! Alleluia!"
Before ascending into Heaven, Jesus promised not to leave us orphans, but that He would send us His Holy Ghost so that we might honor God in all things through Jesus Christ Our Lord. The Holy Ghost bears witness to Him and takes His place with Christians until He comes again. For several Sundays now the Church has reminded us of these promises. Thus she prepares us for Pentecost by quickening our faith in what the Holy Spirit means for the life of the Church and for the souls of Christians.
We commit ourselves to the Divine Will of our Heavenly Father and dedicate our lives in service to our Lord and Savior, our most Holy Mother; with St. Michael our Warrior and Standard; with St.Joseph our Model and Guide; we promise to uphold and defend the True Dogmas, Doctrines and Traditions of the Roman Catholic Church.
The Apostolate of the Order of Our Lady in which we the Christian Faithful, made up of Clerics, Religious and Laity - together - endeavor to foster public worship and promote Traditional Christian Doctrine, exclusively through the offering of the Tridentine Sacrifice of the Mass; to exercise other Apostolic works; offer ourselves as victim Souls given to a life of Penance, Prayer, Reparation and Adoration, to atone for the horrible Crime of Abortion, to evangelize through example, piety and charity and to animate the temporal order with a vibrant Christian spirit.

Our Needs are many:
We are desperately in need of donations for a new Well, to replace a 30yr. old well gone bad; for a new 4 wheel drive truck, to replace a 24 yr. old truck - the only vehicle still in use on the property today; to repair hurricane damage to the Hermitage house itself and to finish construction of the rooms inside.
We need to repair the old tractor for the upkeep of the property.
We also seek donations to build a proper Chapel to replace the temporary garage Chapel in use today.
