First Saturday Mass and Presentation by Father Glenn Sudano, CFR

A Solemnity and a CFR; it doesn’t get any more fun than that! 

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass will be offered at 11 am on the first Saturday of November in the Oratory of the Holy Family in reparation for offenses against the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This Mass will celebrate the Solemnity of All Saints. The Holy Rosary will be prayed at 10:30 am before Mass begins in the side chapel in front of the statue of Our Lady the Immaculate Virgin, Patroness of America. The Mass will be celebrated by Father Glenn Sudano, CFR. Following Mass, there will be a free lunch. Beginning at 12:30, Father Glenn will be giving a presentation.

Father Glenn is one of the eight founding members of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal. He has served as a vocations director, novice master, and community servant. He also serves the community and others through spiritual direction, pastoral counseling, deliverance ministry, preaching, retreat leading, pilgrimage chaplaincy, and evangelization. He has appeared on EWTN, Relevant Radio, MaryTV of Medjugorje, and at Marian Conferences. He recently became a published author with his book, We Live in a Castle. Father Glenn currently serves as chaplain at Holy Family Farm in Monticello, New York.

It is worth noting that Fr. Andrew Apostoli, CFR, of happy memory and Fr. Benedict Groeschel, CFR, of happy memory, both founding brothers with Fr. Glenn Sudano of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, have played significant roles in devotion to Our Lady of America.   Fr. Andrew was a very vocal proponent of Our Lady’s message to America, spreading her message of hope, and Fr. Benedict was quoted by the Bishops in their 2020 Decree establishing the devotion to Our Lady, the Immaculate Virgin, Patroness of America.
