The Month of the Divine Infancy
By Br. John Marie Vianney, M.I.C.M., Tert., Prefect

[At the headquarters in Richmond, NH, the Third Order has a Regular Business Meeting on the First Saturday of the Month. The following is the Prefect's address at that meeting. The Prefect's email address is ToPrefect@Catholicism.org]

I greet you on the First Saturday, in the Month of the Divine Infancy, Our Lady’s day when she visits Purgatory to take back to Heaven, we pray, many souls. I beg your prayers for our entire community and especially for all our tertiaries spread throughout the country and the world.

This Web site is dedicated to the Study Circles of the Saint Augustine Institute of Catholic Studies and the tertiaries of the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary at Saint Benedict Center in Richmond, New Hampshire, and addresses the topics of membership, various prerequisites, formation, and devotions. The audience is current and prospective members of the Circles and the Third Order. Posts are added frequently about pertinent news, related devotions, and the highlighting of different areas of the Web site. Forums are available for private and general discussions.

I believe that circle members will enjoy sharing ideas and experiences with distant members. The site will provide a convenient location for them to ask questions, deepen their knowledge, and, in general, make their circles of study more enjoyable. Prospects will also find reliable information to help them decide whether they should join an existing circle or form one of their own.

It has been 68 years since St. Benedict Center was originally founded as a school on the feast of St. Joseph, in the year 1940. At one time, as those familiar with the history of our Crusade know, St. Benedict Center operated a fully accredited college in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It began as part of the ideal of our Founders to convert America to the Catholic Faith. Father Leonard Feeney, Sister Catherine, and Brother Francis knew that deep study of our Faith by men and women who would become the leaders of our nation would eventually convert that nation through their leadership. This continues to be an essential aspect of the Crusade.
