This section has informational and educational videos, helpful websites in a variety of categories, PDFs of liturgical books, and PDFs with the documents and decrees regarding the Traditional Latin Mass from 1570 to 2023. This page is intended to be filled with traditional resources for the young and old, male and female, new attendees and long time attendees.
Some of the young adults at the parish publish a magazine called "The Saginaw Confessor". It is only available in print and costs $1 per issue. It covers topics from religious to culture to poetry, and much more. If you are interested in reading it, please speak to someone after Mass, or, reach out to them directly at Saginaw.Confessor@protonmail.com

Websites

Everything in this section has been categorized as best as possible. Some websites may fit under more than one category (such as Fr. Z's Blog, which fits under "Blogs & News", but also under "Historical Catholic Practices", "Latin Mass Information", and "Traditional & Latin Prayers"). In cases like this, websites  are categorized under the category which they fit best or align to the most.

Blogs & News:

Historical Catholic Practices:

Sermons & Homilies:

Sacred Music Resources:

Pre-1955 Missal Information:

Traditional Religious Groups:

The Carmelite Monastery of the Infant of Prague in Traverse City houses the only traditional monastery of Carmelite sisters in the state of Michigan. Currently, per the decree of His Excellency, R.R. Bp. Jeffery Walsh, 6th Bishop of the Diocese of Gaylord, all readings in their Latin Mass are promulgated in the vernacular. Witnessing it is a bit of a liturgical irregularity, but regardless, having such a monastery nearby is such a blessing, and visiting is highly recommended if you're in the area!

Devotions to the Holy Face:

Missale Romanum & Other Liturgical PDFs

Containing traditional Roman Missals, Pre-1955 Holy Week Liturgies, Rubrics, Monastic & Roman Diurnals, Roman Rituals, Musical Books, and the Book of Indulgences
The short answer is: no, they don't still apply. The Raccolta has been placed here for historical purposes only, and may be a method of finding many, old, beautiful prayers & devotions. The Enchiridion Indulgentiarum 1999 is the current book of indulgences for the Church. Per the decree of the Sovereign Pontiff, His Holiness, St. Paul VI, any indulgences not contained in the Enchiridion Indulgentiarum are null & void.
