Father White is one of the few holy priests that you can find now-a-days. He runs the church, and the parish, with a firm, authentically Catholic hand. Confessions are twice a week. I am amazed at the line of people no matter what day you go. That says a lot about the priest and parishioners of this church. He leads a Latin Mass on Wednesdays and once on Sunday.

Some people have grumbled because he does not allow alter servers, eucharistic ministers, or a band during service. I totally understand the reason behind each decision. I pray that God enlightens the hearts of those that don't. Thank you, Father White, for your strong and steadfast hand. May God continually bless and...

So we face the east as we greet the Lord’s second coming! The original altar was built facing (north)west. Get your soul and your...
   Read moreMy teenage sons and I have felt drawn to attend the Tridentine Mass, and SMQOC is only 15 minutes from home, so we decided to give the 1 p.m. Sunday TLM a try. I had forgotten what it was like to go to Mass where everyone is attentive and the reverence is palpable. After four weeks my sons were still enthusiastic and even wanted to go to the holy hour and low Mass on Wednesday. I am so thankful for Fr. White's orthodox preaching and the beautiful chant. SMQOC is an authentic Catholic parish and a gem in the...
