Also, marble Altar Stones with the Relics cemented in them, and the so-call cloth "Greek Corporals" with the Relics sewn into them, are also needed. These are used by the Mass Celebrant on which to set the Oblata, i.e. the Chalice and Host, when Offering the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
Several Eastern-Rite Priests and Bishops have requested Eastern-Rite style vestments, religious items, etc.
Generally speaking, all kinds of religious books on all subjects, whether hard-back or paper-back. For example: Church History, Patrology (writings of the Fathers of the Church), dictionaries, Spiritual Life, Liturgical Books of all kinds, Lives of Saints, Sermons, Theology, Philosophy, Councils, writings of the Popes and Saints, etc., and similar, which were originally printed before 1955, as well as the Catholic Douay-Rheims edition of the Bible in English, which was originally printed in about 1899, although this Bible, and many other religious books, were reprinted, unchanged, by various book publishers, including TAN books, after 1955, and some have just been reprinted.
Other items include Mass kits with gilded, i.e. gold-plated, chalices with matching gilded, i.e. gold-plated, patens, gilded, i.e. gold-plated, ciboria with matching gilded, i.e. gold-plated, top covers.
Please Note: Canon Law 1305 requires these items be gilded, i.e. gold-plated), gilded, i.e. gold-plated, pyx (Canon Law 1270), monstrances.
Also needed are brass candle holders, white altar cloths, other altar and Chalice linens, altar stones, large crucifixes, statues, pictures, cassocks (both for Clergy and Altar servers), surplices (both for Clergy and Altar servers), kneelers, and books of all kinds, including hymnals and prayer books which were originally printed before 1950 (newer, but accurate, reprints, are fine).
Altar size Missals for Mass are also needed (but printed before 1944 [or reprints of pre-1944 Missals]) for use by the Mass Celebrant. Small hand-size missals (preferably printed before 1944 [or reprints of pre-1944 editions], but printed [or current reprints of the older editions] no later than 1950, since they are not used by the Mass Celebrant.)
Needs also include such things as rosaries (a kind person has offered to fix broken rosaries IF all of the broken pieces of the Rosary are all included in a plastic bag), and Scapulars which have not been worn or otherwise used (due to health concerns).
These are some ot the things which have been requested in the past, in addition to financial help. Thank You in advance for however you can help! God Bless You!
A Missionary, who is also a Rosary maker, has asked Us to please try to find a copy of the Pittshire Catalog of 1961-1962 Rosary-Making Catalog for him. This is what the front cover of this catalog looks like:
Father thanks you in advance and is deeply grateful!
However, please DO NOT SEND me: prayer cards, pictures (unframed), various types of printed literature which so many religious organizations send out it seems by the millions, and such-like, because I have a huge oversupply of such items and no Missionary is even requesting them. Thank you for your understanding.
Of course, cash donations to help purchase such items, would also be appreciated. It would also help to cover the cost of shipping these things to those Missionaries who have contacted us for some of these things. Please make your check payable to: Cordi-Marian Fathers.
In return, I will personally include, in all of my Masses for one full year, everyone who donates any item(s) and/or money to this Mission Program, as my own way of showing my personal thanks and gratitude to each person who directly helps this Mission Program in some way. This full year of Masses also includes everyone who personally contacts churches and/or chapels and who get donations of these kinds of items. Such people would then ship them to us, postage paid, by the U.S. Mail or by U.P.S. or by Federal Express.
I realize that these are difficult times for many people, as well as for many churches and chapels, but please remember that God is never outdone in generosity! God will reward all of those, in His time and in His way, who take any direct part in this Mission Program, just as He has done to others over the last 1,900 years!
Shipping Suggestions
IF you are going to send us anything that is breakable, please wrap it securely in bubble wrap, or something similar. Please DO NOT USE wadded-up newspapers, tissue paper, etc., with which to wrap anything breakable because experience proves it will be broken upon arrival if wadded-up newspapers are used. Also, please be sure to put FRAGILE on the outside of the box in which you are shipping the breakable item(s). Thank you in advance for your very great Charity and generosity!
Again, Thank You very much! God Bless You!
