St. Chrysanthus was converted by his wife, St. Daria. They came from the East to Rome. After many torments under the prefect Celerinus, they were buried alive in a sandpit in 284.
Tomorrow morning we are headed for Salzburg! We are, needless to say, very excited, especially about being able to hear Mass every day at the FSSP chapel. This coming Sunday is the Feast of Christ the King on the traditional calendar (it doesn't occur until the end of Nov on the Novus Ordo calendar). We were planning on returning to Gaming on 31 Oct, but after only brief consideration we couldn't resist staying for another day in order to hear a solemn high Mass according to the traditional roman rite on the Feast of All Saints. In fact, it's quite tempting to stay on another day in order to hear Mass there on the Feast of Souls - black vestments, the Dies irae ...
Well, we shall see. We aren't taking the computer with us so this will be our last post until we return. Most likely thursday, perhaps friday, will be the next time we get a chance to give you all an update.

Sounds wonderful! Last night we celebrated the 9th anniversary of the Holy Spirit Oratory. Father Bill Casey - well-known on EWTN- spoke on the Real Presence and the miraculous power thereof...very inspiring! Have fun on your little trip.
Nine years! How wonderful to have that in your home parish. I have heard Fr Casey speak on the Eucharist, but never live; that must have been inspiring.
