Visitors

Welcome to historic St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church! Built over a century ago, we all owe a debt of gratitude to the Irish faithful who were the first to call this church their parish. For apart from the countless sacrifices made by that first generation of faithful to build a suitable house of prayer and divine worship for the greater glory of God, this beautiful church would not exist.

Our beautiful stained glass windows, perhaps the most stunning feature of the church, have been newly restored. Rendered in the Munich Pictorial style, they depict scenes from the life of Christ as well as images of various angels and saints.

The careful observer will discern elements from the Gothic, Romanesque, and Byzantine styles which together make up the style known as Venetian Gothic. Bishop Paprocki consecrated the new main and side altars in 2012 and established the church as a personal parish on New Years Day, 2014.

The liturgy celebrated at St. Rose follows the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite, and employs primarily the ancient Latin language. On Sundays, translations of both the ordinary and propers of the Mass are provided. To follow daily Mass you may wish to invest in a daily Latin English Missal available at the rectory or download an app like IMass. Internet access is available in church at StRoseChurch (password: latinmass). Make sure to mute your device while in church. Also, St. Rose’s state-of-the-art heating and cooling system assures a comfortable environment year round in which to pray and worship.

After both Sunday Masses, visitors are invited to meet and greet our parishioners in the parish hall and socialize over coffee and donuts. If interested in joining the parish, simply call the office.

ST. ROSE OF LIMA

PARISH

Quincy, Illinois

A Personal Parish

for the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite

“Traditional Latin Mass”

Under the Pastoral Care of The Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter

Fr. Arnaud Devillers, FSSP Pastor

The name Magi is not a Hebrew word, but of Indo-European origin, and means "great, illustrious." Saint Matthew mentioned the term without explanation because it was well known to the people of Palestine. The Magi originated in Media (Persia), and their caste later spread to other Oriental countries. They were a highly esteemed class of priestly scholars, devoting themselves not only to religion but also to the study of natural sciences, medicine, mathematics, astronomy, and astrology. In several countries they were members of the king's council. Where did the Magi come from? Saint Matthew gives a general answer: "Wise men from the East."

Quite early in the Christian era a popular tradition conferred on them the title of "kings." This tradition became universal by the end of the sixth century. It was based on Biblical prophecies which described the conversion of the pagans and, although not referring explicitly to the Magi, were applied to their visit:

“The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: the kings of the Arabians and of Sheba shall bring gifts.” (Psalms 71, 10)

“The kings shall walk in the brightness of thy rising... They all shall come from Sheba, bringing gold and frankincense.” (Isaiah 60, 3-6)

The Gospel does not tell us how many they were. The Christians in the Orient have an old tradition of twelve Magi. In early paintings and mosaics they are represented as two, three, four, and even more. In the occidental Church a slowly

spreading tradition put their number at three. It does not seem to have any historical foundation, but was probably based on the fact of the threefold presents.

The book Collectanea et Flores, ascribed to Saint Bede the Venerable (735), records an earlier legend of their names and appearance: “The first was called Melchior; he was an old man, with white hair and long beard; he offered gold to the Lord as to his king. The second, Gaspar by name, young, beardless, of ruddy hue, offered to Jesus his gift of incense, the homage due to Divinity. The third, of black complexion, with heavy beard, was called Baltasar; the myrrh he held in his hands prefigured the death of the Son of man.”

There is an old legend that when many years had passed the Magi were visited by Saint Thomas the Apostle, who, after instructing them in Christianity, baptized them. They were then ordained to the priesthood and made bishops. It is said that once more the star of Bethlehem appeared to them and reunited them toward the end of their lives. The city of Sewa in the Orient" is given as the place of their burial.”

The legendary relics of the Magi were brought from Constantinople to Milan in the sixth century. In 1164, Emperor Frederick Barbarossa obtained them from the archbishop of Milan and transferred them to Cologne. Their shrine in Cologne was, and still is, the center of many pilgrimages.

And my aspirations and all my affections will be for You. I feel so weak, dear Jesus, but with Your help I hope and resolve to live a different life, that is, a life closer to You." ~ St. Gemma Galgani
