August is the Month of the
Transfiguration
At that time, Jesus took Peter, and James, and John his brother, and bringing them up into a high mountain apart: and He was transfigured before them. And His face did shine as the sun, and His garments became white as snow. And behold, there appeared to them Moses and Elias talking with Him. And Peter, answering, said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here; if Thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles, one for Thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias. And as he was yet speaking, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them. And behold a voice out of the cloud, saying:
This is My Beloved Son, in Whom I am well pleased:
Hear ye Him.
Matthew 17, 1-5

The purpose of this Confraternity is twofold: Firstly, to promote the communal praying of the Divine Office in the chapel and the private recitation thereof among its members at home; secondly, to foster more generally a liturgical Catholic spirituality in the spirit of the writings of Dom Prosper Gueranger. If you wish to join this Confraternity and/or would like more detailed information, please contact John Rotondi via e-mail @ [email protected] or phone 856-845-6515.

Dress Code
We want to foster the greatest reverence and respect for Our Lord at Mater Ecclesiae. Our attire is an outward expression of our love for the Lord and shows how important He is to us. It is also a sign of our respect for the House of God. Therefore, one should always wear their “Sunday Best” to Mass: modesty, good taste and common sense should prevail. Accordingly, the following rules apply:
• NO SHORTS, EVER, FOR MEN, WOMEN OR CHILDREN. • Women: No revealing clothing, low necklines, short skirts or bare
midriffs. Please dress modestly with dignity and self-respect. We suggest that women wear a head covering.
• Men: No tattered, soiled work clothes, old jeans or gym clothes. Please wear “business or business casual attire” to set a good example for our young men and boys.
