In California - A Temporary Chapel
As the saying goes: 'hard times create strong men.' The Resistance has had Masses in basements, garages, hotels, living rooms, etc. And as we all know, the "plandemic" has forced closures of many of the usual venues for Mass. So with a mixture of charity and not a little ingenuity by the owner, a makeshift altar was erected in an auto shop on which to offer the Most Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. How many blessings were bestowed on that shop for hosting the King of Kings!

Trivia
Question : Guess who's trophy that is on the wall?

Answer : Young Bridget Cline!

A little insight into the atmosphere of the first Mass in Atlanta. Talk about a room full of on-lookers!
Baptisms!
The baptism of Mr. and Mrs. Stephen and Regina Boulware's youngest in the Seattle, Washington area. Mrs. Boulware receives the blessing for mothers!
In St. Louis, Missouri Fr. Hewko was asked to baptize Leo, the newest member of a family there. Little Leo's father (pictured on the right) used to live not far from where Fr. Hewko was stationed in St. Louis. As boys, he and his brother would ask to join in on Fr. Hewko's events and boys' hikes. Jason tried for a long time to track Fr. Hewko down and finally found him a few months ago!
Ignatian Retreats 2020
From the SSPX archives :

The 5-Day Ignatian Retreat

The standard method used in the retreats given by the SSPX is the “Ignatian method,” also known as the “Spiritual Exercises”.

St. Ignatius of Loyola received these Spiritual Exercises directly from the hand of Our Blessed Mother in 1533. In their complete form, these salutary exercises are preached over a 30-day period, but these have been condensed into a short 5-day period in the SSPX’s retreat centers (see here for a short history of the Ignatian retreats in the traditional SSPX).

St. Ignatius of Loyola

During these few “Days of Grace,” each retreatant exercises his intellect, memory and will, by meditating upon their purpose and goal of life (which is to glorify God and save their soul), and upon the Mysteries of the Life, Death, and Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

While practicing these exercises, the retreatant will quickly be convinced that he must first conquer himself so that Christ may live in him, according to the words of St. Paul: “ With Christ I am nailed to the Cross ” and “ I live, now not I, but Christ liveth in me ” (Gal. 2 19-20).

An Ignatian Retreat consists of a series of spiritual conferences, structured meditations and an opportunity to make a general confession. Silence is kept throughout the retreat, though the retreatants have the opportunity to speak with a priest for spiritual advice.

So effective are retreats for the development and enrichment of the spiritual life, that it is strongly recommended that Catholics attend a retreat at least once a year.

Women's Retreat: June 29th - July 4th
Men's Retreat: July 6th - July 11th
A snapshot of Fr. Ruiz giving a conference at the Men's Retreat. The retreats were held in a town called Soldier, Kansas. What a fitting name for a Retreat venue! May the retreatants arise as soldiers of Christ the King!
Many thanks to the lovely Cline women for taking such wonderful care of all the retreatants and the Priests!

Let us beg Heaven for more 'Blackrobes' to join the Catholic Resistance
in the line of Archbishop Lefebvre!
Two unexpected retreatants found their way into the Retreat House!
Two of the Priests of the Resistance:
Frs. Hewko and Ruiz
Fr. Hugo Ruiz - 35 Years a Priest!
Father Ruiz was ordained by Archbishop Lefebvre in Écône, Switzerland on June 29, 1985 and celebrated his thirty-fifth ordination anniversary with Fr. Hewko and the retreatants! Fr. Ruiz has courageously persevered in defending the Faith against the new direction of SSPX. What a great honor to have this true and faithful son of Archbishop Lefebvre's assisting in the preaching of the beautiful Ignatian retreats!

At the grave of Fr. John of the Cross O.S.B.
 in St. Mary's, Kansas
Not many know that Fr. John of the Cross and Fr. Ruiz studied together at the seminary in Écône in the 1980's!
Another link tying these two good priests together: Fr. John was Fr. Ruiz's Confirmation sponsor!

Both Frs. Hewko and Ruiz stated that it was a great honor and privilege to visit the tomb of this good priest, Fr. John!
Requiescat in pace .
In June of 2002, Fr. John of the Cross and Fr. Ramon Angles were walking in this very spot in St. Mary's and Fr. John commented to Fr. Angles that this would be a beautiful spot to be buried. Fr. Angles replied that 'monks are only buried on monastery grounds.'

Fr. John insisted, 'No, I think this is really a beautiful spot to be buried.'

Little did either priest realize that one week later Fr. John would indeed be buried in that very spot. He passed away on the Feast of Sts. Peter and Paul, June 29th, 2002.
The good Fathers also visited the grave of Br. Sidonius Lepsi, a Carmelite Brother originally from Czechoslovakia. Br. Sidonius was a beloved history professor at St. Mary's College. He was equally well known for his great learning as he was for his profound humility. He passed away in 2000. Requiescat in pace .
Letter from Father Hewko
✠

July 2020
 
Dear Few, “Happy few!”

It is a repetitive truth of sacred history how Almighty God insists that He doesn’t need large numbers, He often prefers to show forth His Strong Arm by working with a few. Gideon’s army, the Maccabees, and Judith are just a few examples. 

In this era, it is given to the “true Judith” of the New Testament, Our Blessed Mother, that God wills to triumph over His enemies! As in the days of Judith, the enemies of God think they've already won. They boldly celebrate their apparent victory and gloat over the death of Christendom. We are seeing the last strokes of atheistic Communism steamrolling the West with the acceleration of a Globalist police state, anarchy, deliberate dismantling of family businesses, and a media flooding the masses with bold-faced lies, distortions, and use of terror. For example, the over-exaggeration of deaths from a “virus” that requires doctors to lie about the cause of death. “Covid-19” appears on thousands of death certificates when they admit themselves that the cause was really the usual: cancer, pneumonia, diabetes, heart congestion, etc.

Our Lady of Fatima made this point when She appeared on July 13th, saying “Continue to say the Rosary everyday in honor of Our Lady of the Rosary to obtain peace for the world and the end of the war; for only She can help you !”

God wants the Blessed Mother extolled, honored, loved, and obeyed. Only through Her will come the true peace of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Just as He came to us in the Incarnation, through Mary; He wants the Reign of Christ the King in the next triumph to be accomplished through the Immaculate Heart of Mary !

Instead of “Rosary Crusades” for peripheral intentions, the Church Militant must pray Rosaries for the one indispensable intention: for the Pope to consecrate Russia in union with all the bishops, as commanded by the Mother of God Herself!

As the crowds of Jews and the High Priest himself in the time of Judith, thought they could solve the unsolvable through naturalistic, human means (such as now “let’s get in with Modernist Rome and convert them from within!”) and God humbled their pride by bringing the victory through the beautiful Judith, so He will humble the pride of the Freemasons, Modernists, and Liberals in the SSPX by bringing Victory through the beautiful Blessed Virgin Mary!

“ You don't have a dialogue with the devil, be he Communist or Mason! You exorcise him with prayers and fight against him without ceasing. "Watch and pray," the Scripture says. It was through a resistance kept up at every moment and through the use of all available means, that the first Christians triumphed over two and a half centuries of persecution. Trusting in the Cross of Our Lord, in its power of redemption, sure of the help of the Virgin Mary, terror of demons and Queen of Martyrs, faithful Catholics have overcome trials and were willing even to give their lives to preserve their Faith and that of their children.” (Archbishop Lefebvre, The Archbishop Speaks: From Helsinki to Warsaw, The Angelus , May 1982)


In Christ the King,

Fr. David Hewko
