The following comes from a March 14 Restore DC Catholicism blog post:
March 13 brought news that the Knights of Columbus removed themselves from the now-defiled Boston St Patrick’s Day Parade. They might learn a thing or two from Immaculate Heart of Mary School; they had pulled out of the parade after 20 years of participation in it, rightly understanding that their participation now would cause scandal to their students.
The school is run by the Slaves of the Immaculate Heart of Mary – both brothers and sisters. I invite you to peruse their site. They seem to be orders that are truly devoted to Jesus Christ and His Church. The Sisters produced a video regarding the parade debacle. They are singing a song that is a knock-off of the Irish folk song “Leaving of Liverpool”. They call it “Leaving of Boston”. Enjoy and thank God for these courageous religious. Pray to St. Patrick that as he once drove the snakes from Ireland that he would drive the serpents of progressivism from the Church.
Three-minute Youtube video here:
Lyrics:
Fare thee well, Saint Patrick’s Day Parade,
South Boston, fare thee well!
We are standing for our Catholic Faith,
And the Saint that we love so well.
Chorus:
So, fare thee well, the time has come,
We will now defend one so great as he.
It’s not the leaving of Boston that grieves me,
But Saint Patrick when I think of thee.
We have marched there for over twenty years,
“Keep the Faith” did we proudly display,
And though the foes of God may try,
They will never take this Faith away! – Chorus
Remember, Holy Youth, how long ago,
You brought the Faith to Erin’s shore.
Through the strength and the might of the Trinity,
Bring the Irish back to Christ once more! – Chorus
God bless these beautiful holy women. I hope they made a recording.
Catholic congregations, and I mean traditional Catholic ones, are gaining ground. Not only are they experiencing an increase in vocations, they are also spreading the essential tenants of the faith. They are morally and doctrinally sound. Look at the picture: they look like nuns, and they are very joyful because they are brides of Christ. They are an inspiration, and contrast sharply with the ‘nuns’ on the bus. The Slaves of the Immaculate Heart will win souls for Christ, and not drive them away.
Too bad that Card. Timothy Dolan did not turn down being the Grand Poobah for the NY Parade – where homosexuals are promoting their love of sodomy.
(His pride, silliness, and need to show-off is greater than his belief in the Catholic Faith.)
CCC: ” 2285 Scandal takes on a particular gravity by reason of the authority of those who cause it or the weakness of those who are scandalized.
It prompted our Lord to utter this curse: “Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.”
Scandal is grave when given by those who by nature or office are obliged to teach and educate others.
Jesus reproaches the scribes and Pharisees on this account: he likens them to wolves in sheep’s clothing.”
CCC: ” 1868 Sin is a personal act. Moreover, we have a responsibility for the sins committed by others when we cooperate in them:
– by participating directly and voluntarily in them;
– by ordering, advising, praising, or approving them;
– by not disclosing or not hindering them when we have an obligation to do so;
– by protecting evil-doers. “
If I were these nuns, I would not sing a silly song, after declining to participate in this parade— for VERY SERIOUS MORAL REASONS!! Instead, I would have a big Catholic St. Patrick’s Day parade and festivities, at their Catholic school! I would also perhaps write and distribute materials, all about St. Patrick and his holiness, and explain why Christian morality is very necessary, for a parade honoring St. Patrick! Children and families cannot participate in a city event, which evilly “paganizes” a Christian saint, refusing to abide by and uphold moral decency! Actually, Cardinal Sean O’Malley, of Boston, should have issued an ultimatum to all Catholics– “no Catholics may participate in Boston’s FALSE, filthy, secularized, “paganized,” St. Patrick’s Day parade! We will have our OWN authentic, CATHOLIC St. Patrick’s Day parade, instead— and you ALL must come, young and old, families with children, everyone! We’ll have a big Mass at the Cathedral, and then a big parade, and lots of Irish food, music, and dance, and family-style fun activities, all day long!!”
I am sure they did all that, Linda Marie, and probably said the Breastplate of St. Patrick also. They do serve the Traditional Latin Mass there with full approval from the Vatican according to the website. Nevertheless, there is no sin in having some innocent fun at times.
Tis glad I am to feast my eyes on this YouTube ditty by these faithful Catholic nuns. St. Patrick is the patron saint of the Sacramento Diocese and may he drive the snakes that infiltrate our world right out of the land! God bless the Irish, God bless the faithful souls who stand up in times of murky crisis in praise of our God and our holy Roman Catholic Church with its life affirming values. Erin Go Bragh!
God Bless these faithful Nuns!

St. Patrick actually drove the homosexuals out of Ireland 1500 years ago.

St. Patrick actually drove the homosexuals out of Ireland 1500 years ago.” Nick
Nay I say to you Nick, twere not the drivin of the Celts from Ireland twas accomplished by Himself no less, meanin of course Saint Patrick; but their Conversion – and twere the leavin behind of the behinds best left behind twas done through His Work.
Tis Gladdened My Heart Is, to see so many beautiful young sisters so well informed of the Faith; and with just a bit of the mischief about them too, singing so sweetly with just a wee bit of a smile and a twinkle in the eye of these Brides of Christ.
Of course – as me gran-da used to say when folks got a bit too sentimentally soggy over the Auld Sod:
“Poor Ireland – So Far from God, So Close to England.”
Why the swipe at the Knights? They also did the right thing by not participating in the parade.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

Grand Poobah’s handlers roughed up Voris and cameraman.
Timothy Dolan refused to answer question on “Scandal” at today’s NY St. Pat’s Parade where for the first time two groups are publically promoting the homosexual lifestyle (sodomy), by marching specifically as homosexuals in the Parade.

Related to Dolan – he tried to hide Milwaukee Diocese money in a cemetery fund so that Court proven abused children could not be compensated.
On March 9, 2015 Appeals Court rules Milwaukee archdiocese’s $55 million cemetery fund is fair game in bankruptcy case.

Shame, shame, SHAME on Cardinal Dolan!
Chris, they were removed from the press area because they didn’t have press credentials. You breaks the laws you pays the consequences.
YFC, do not lie. You make things up to suit your sinful lifestyle.
ChurchMilitantTV has press credentials. And they were wearing them.
I have seen the credentials myself !
PETE, the voice on the video clearly says that they didn’t have the proper NYC credentials. Listen for yourself. I didn’t lie.
YFC, why do you lie so much ? You are in such a hurry to promote sodomy that you never check your facts.
If your lying was merely another of your careless so-called accidents – publically apologize about Voris.
Here is Voris. You can not miss his Press Credentials. And they are just like all the other Press Credentials at the NY Parade.

YFC they had valid press credentials, Voris was removed by a man who was told by Joe Zwilling to remove him from the area. The guy was not a cop or anyone with any authority to remove him, he was thug dispatched by Dolan. If this is all your side can do, you are finished…as the Church of Nice crumbles….
Cardinal Dolan said “Come on in. We’d love to have you.” but then he walked away. He should have put his arm around Michael Voris and taken him with him every step of the way.
I am sure that Cardinal Dolan will be appalled at how Mr. Voris was treated after he had invited him to join them.
I don’t think they should have treated him so badly. So what if he didn’t have the right press badge? Cardinal Dolan invited him to walk with him in the parade.
I am sure Michael Voris will get an apology from Cardinal Dolan. Cardinal Dolan and Michael Voris are a lot alike and they would have a lot to talk about over a green beer.
Tragic loss of opportunity for both all because some person misunderstood the situation and reacted inappropriately. There is never any cause to put your hand or elbow on a press person or anyone else.
Anonymous, do not believe what YFC states. He has his own agenda.
I saw Voris and his camera man wearing his press credentials.
Yes, Happy St. Patrick’s Day to those near and far.
Hail, glorious St. Patrick! we honor thy name, tho’ Erin may claim thee, the world knows thy fame. The faith of our fathers is our treasure too, how holy the thought, that they learned it from you. Thru crosses and trials its fires burn bright, they show us the way, the truth and the light, Great Saint! intercede, that we always may be devoted and loyal, true children of thee. Our love and devotion be ever like thine, our thoughts be of Jesus, our hearts be His shrine, and when to the end of life’s path we have trod, be near us great bishop, anointed of God.
Now if we can only get Schismatic communities like this BACK into the Catholic Church, things would be better.
Still, thanks for the good example. I’ve known many very Christian non-Catholic people and Churches over the years!
These sisters are connected to the Sr. Benedict Center on Still River in Massachusetts and are not SSPX. They are in full communion with the Vatican from all I have seen on line even though they serve the Traditional Latin Mass (Extraordinary Mass). There is another St. Benedict Center in a different area which is not.

I provide the link to this Related Story (from an Outstanding Website) to show that all is not always as it seems, particularly when it comes to propaganda spin – and the ‘good guys’ do not always win, let alone play the game wisely…
Which ‘We’ (The Church) really ought to have learned by now, particularly with the bought and paid for ‘free press’ so fiercely partisan in its venom against us, now that they have Anti-Catholic Consultants to help them.
