Letter confirming the introduction of the new liturgy on December 8, 2024

Lac-Etchemin, November 21, 2024

Dear Knights of Mary,

In my letter of last October 13, I was announcing that the Council of the Works intended to move forward with the implementation of the new liturgy for the Masses celebrated in the Church of John, as it was proposed in the book Un Amour Infini.

I added that, with the enthusiastic agreement and the encouragement of Father Victor RIzzi before he passed away on August 13, the date that was being considered was the one of Sunday, December 8, 2024, the feast day of the Immaculate Conception, but that nothing had yet been decided in that regard last October.

Today, November 21, feast day of the Presentation of Mary, I have the joy of being able to announce to you that, except if something unforeseen happens, it will in fact be possible to implement the new liturgy next December 8, thanks to the efficient and generous collaboration of many people.

The first “new Mass” will be celebrated at 9:30 a.m. at Spiri-Maria. All the Masses celebrated before that day and that hour will be the ones presently being said. All the Masses celebrated afterwards will be “new Masses”.

What allows the Church King to take such an important decision will be explained in the next issue of the review Le Royaume, no 291, which should come out by about mid-December.

In the meantime, let everyone trust in the Lady who guides her Work. And may those persons who have embraced the changes being made, care about the others for whom this acceptance is more difficult. It is necessary to respect them in their progression, pray for them and, while remaining firm in our convictions, never cast them aside or ignore them because of certain differences. One day, in fact, – and this is our hope –, we will all be together in one single and same Kingdom.

And may the Lady, without whom nothing would exist, grant us her divine blessing.

Marc-André I, Church King
