What an unforgettable evening! Our 31st Annual Fundraising Banquet “Expectant Hope” was a beautiful celebration of life, hope, and faith. With guest speaker @lilaroseofficial, founder and president of @liveactionorg, we were reminded of the power of truth, courage, and compassion in defending life and supporting women and children. Thank you to everyone who joined us, prayed with us, and continues to make MiraVia’s mission possible. Your love and generosity truly change lives. #MiraViaLife

Belmont Abbey College

Recently, the Abbey was especially honored to welcome Cardinal Müller to campus. He celebrated Mass with our monastic community and later shared an inspiring lecture with our college community on “Being a Catholic Christian Today.”

Cardinal Müller previously served as Prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under both Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis, and it was a true joy to have him with us on campus!

Belmont Abbey College announces Visual and Performing Arts Center site and conceptual design plans

St. Joseph College Seminary

Father Kauth asked that some dirt that was moved to make room for the new chapel be added to the small hill located behind the construction site. By raising this hill, Father created a great vantage point from which to survey progress. Our general contractor, Edifice, is doing great, and the project is on time and on budget. You can follow along from the comfort of your home or office by visiting the construction cam HERE

The columns and beams have now been joined for 2/3 of the chapel, and studs are being added in addition to the inner roof.

Please pray for the safety of our construction workers.

Local seminary’s impact reflected in

new clergy

We are blessed to have the Daughters of the Virgin Mother here at the seminary and in our diocese. The other day, Whitney Hetzel brought two members of the Sisters of Mary (https://worldvillages.org/), one of whom works in Tanzania and the other in Mexico, to meet with Mother Mary Raphael and the other sisters. It is always extra joyful when sisters visit with sisters. From left to right: Sr. Mary Agatha Rose, Sr. Mary Jacinta, Sr. Marilyn, Mother Mary Raphael, Sr. Margie Cheong, Whitney Hetzel, Christy George, and Sr. Mary Philomena. Please pray for all of our sisters and consider supporting their missions.

Charlotte Latin Mass Community

UPDATE: At the November presbyteral council meeting Bishop Michael Martin requested that the use of altar rails be discontinued in the diocese. We are hearing the meeting was contentious and 3 hours long. Canon lawyers were referenced.

Priests & faithful: he can ask but cannot command. USE THE RAILS!

[To our understanding this applies to all Novus Ordo masses and does not apply to the Latin Mass chapel in Mooresville].

Traditionalists push Pope Leo to resurrect the Latin Mass:

The Latin Mass has become toxically politicized and is posing a test for Pope Leo XIV as traditionalists call on him to reverse restrictions imposed by Pope Francis.

The Charlotte Latin Mass Community, (CLMC) is a private association of the faithful as defined by Canon Law (Can. 299 §1 and Can. 215). We are Catholic faithful in the Charlotte area who strive in a common endeavor to pass down the traditional Catholic Faith to our children and to worship through the traditional Latin Rite liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. We subject ourselves in full docility to the authentic authority of our Bishop, His Excellency Michael Martin, and the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV; which is to protect and defend the Catholic faith and the sacred deposit of tradition.

These are tough times to navigate. The Charlotte Latin Mass Community would like to make our position clear:
