Fr. Michael Kokoszka

The FSSP parish of Saint Vitus now has a third priest!  Please welcome Fr. Michael Kokoszka who just arrived June 26th!  Here is his brief biography:

Father Michael Kokoszka is a native of Western Massachusetts.  He was ordained in the Diocese of Springfield, MA and has been a Priest for the last two years.  Prior to his seminary studies he held jobs as an HVAC mechanic, tractor-trailer driver and health care fraud investigator.  He later obtained a bachelors degree in mathematics from Westfield State College.  Father Kokoszka attributes his vocation due to Eucharistic Adoration and the Holy Rosary.  He loves the outdoors, bike riding, skiing, spiritual reading and an assortment of other activities.  He is excited to join the clergy at Saint Vitus, excercising his Priesthood and is looking forward to meeting everyone.

By the way, his last name is pronounced:  ko-KO-shuh

Laura Burke – July 1932 - May 14, 2020

Please pray for the repose of the soul of Laura Burke, a long time attendee and supporter of the Latin Mass and resident of Camarillo who quietly passed away May 14, 2020, at the age of 87.  Laura and her husband Hozie were very generous, purchasing the red missals for everyone's use.  They also used to provide transportation for Fr. Morgan to say the Latin Mass when it was at the San Buenaventura Mission on a regular basis.  They were very welcoming to any new attendees of the Mass and will be missed by those who knew them.  She was preceded in death by Hozie on September 21, 2018, and had been unable to attend the Mass in Camarillo for the past several years due to declining health.

Marian Consecration

If you haven’t already, now is a great time to make your Marian Consecration!  If you have already made your consecration, consider renewing it at least annually.  During this time of quarantine, make the best use of the extra time on your hands. 

From the Cross, Our Lord said “Behold Your Mother” Jn 19:26-27.  At the Annunciation, Mary gives her “Fiat” and accepts her role in our salvation saying “Behold the handmaid of the Lord, be it done to me according to thy word” Lk 1:38.  At the Visitation, Mary proclaims the Magnificat beginning with “My soul doth magnify the Lord” Lk 1:46-55.  She is your Mother and with your fiat (consecration) she will most assuredly bring you to her Son, Jesus!

Christus Resurrexit! Alleluia!
