Fr. Hewko's Mass for Septuagesima Sunday February 1, 2026
will be livestreamed at 10:30 a.m. eastern time
“Go, You, Into My Vineyard”
PRAYERS WHICH MAY BE SAID AT THE OFFERTORY:
WHEN THE PRIEST OFFERS THE HOST
I place upon the paten my heart, the hearts of all those near and dear to me,
especially the hearts of my relatives; the hearts of all those for whom I have
promised to pray; the hearts of all those who have injured me; the hearts
of all those whom I have injured; the hearts of all the agonizing.
Jesus, when Thou changest the Host into Thy body, change our hearts
into hearts pleasing to Thee.
WHEN THE PRIEST OFFERS THE CHALICE
I place within the chalice the souls of all the faithful departed, especially
my relatives and all those for whom I should pray; the souls for those for whom
I may have forgotten to pray; the souls most devoted to the Precious Blood,
the Sacred Heart, and the Blessed Virgin; the souls of the most abandoned.
Jesus, when Thou changest the wine into Thy Precious Blood, bring these
poor souls from their place of suffering into eternal happiness.

Pope Leo XIV Moves Above the Papal Apartment, Under the Roof

Pope Leo XIV is expected to return to the Apostolic Palace, but not to the former papal apartment, reports the Italian newspaper La Repubblica on Friday.
He plans to move into a top-floor attic-style apartment located one level above the papal residence. It is barely visible from the outside.
The apartment is described as being located above the papal apartments, on the uppermost level between the 'Third Loggia' and the roof. It is situated in a self-contained section of the palace.
Inside the new apartment are bedroom, kitchen and bathroom, a fitness room, a small private chapel and a roof terrace. On the terrace, there is a replica of the Lourdes grotto, placed there during the pontificate of John Paul II.
Despite repeated expectations that the move was imminent, no specific move date has been set.

Vatican confirms controversial restaurant plan for St. Peter’s Basilica terrace
Several prelates, speaking anonymously, expressed reservations about the idea of groups of visitors eating and drinking above the tomb of St. Peter.

Jan 30, 2026
VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — The Vatican has confirmed plans to expand a refreshment area into a restaurant on the terrace of St. Peter’s Basilica, with a possible opening in 2026 to coincide with the basilica’s 400th anniversary.
On Thursday, Italian newspaper Il Messaggero revealed the existence of top‑secret works on the terrace of St. Peter’s Basilica involving the construction of a bistro. Today, amid strong misgivings from priests and bishops about the appropriateness of treating the heart of Catholicism this way—right above the tomb of the first Pope—the Vatican confirmed the plans.
The Holy See said that work is under way to expand the existing refreshment point on the main terrace above St. Peter’s Basilica into a larger bistro-style facility, using former storage rooms once occupied by the Sampietrini, the workers responsible for the daily care and maintenance of the Basilica. The stated aim is to manage increased visitor numbers, and the Vatican will potentially inaugurate the project either by Easter 2026 or for the 400th anniversary of the Basilica’s consecration on November 18, 2026.
In an official statement the Vatican said: “In order to respond to increased visitor flows, an expansion of the surface area of the terrace accessible to pilgrims is under consideration. This would help to ease the concentration of visitors inside the Basilica and foster a climate of greater recollection. In this context, some spaces would be made available to expand the small refreshment point already in place.”
The project concerns the large terrace above the nave of St. Peter’s Basilica, just behind the statues of the apostles. Once closed to the public, it now offers wide views over Rome and forms part of the route for visitors climbing to the dome.
The work is being carried out under strict confidentiality by the Fabric of St. Peter, the body responsible for the maintenance and administration of the Basilica. Internal Vatican sources cited by Il Messaggero reported that furnishings and materials have already arrived on site, indicating that construction is at an advanced stage, although no definitive completion date has been officially announced.
Allegedly the canons of St. Peter’s Basilica were not formally informed about the project. “The works had been kept strictly secret by the Fabric of Saint Peter and the archpriest,” Il Messaggero reported.
Responsibility rests indeed with Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, archpriest of the papal basilica, vicar general of the Pope for Vatican City State, and president of the Fabric of St. Peter. An Italian Conventual Franciscan created cardinal by Pope Francis in 2020, Gambetti oversees decisions concerning access, visitor management, and the use of internal and adjacent spaces within the Basilica complex.
The confirmation of the project has prompted internal debate among local clergy. Several prelates, speaking anonymously, expressed reservations about the idea of groups of visitors eating and drinking above the tomb of St. Peter. One priest told Il Messaggero: “It would be unthinkable to have something like this on the roof of a synagogue, at the Western Wall, above the Kaaba in Mecca, or on the terrace of Westminster.”
Gambetti has also faced criticism in connection with a series of grave profanations that have occurred there in recent years. On January 17, an unidentified man climbed onto the altar of the Chapel of the Blessed Sacrament and violently threw candlesticks, the monstrance, and the altar cross to the ground while the Blessed Sacrament was exposed for perpetual adoration, prompting an immediate penitential rite of reparation.
On October 10, 2025, a drunken man stripped naked and urinated at the same altar. An immediate reparatory rite was not initially planned and was only carried out following direct intervention by Pope Leo XIV. Earlier incidents include a Romanian citizen who, on February 7, 2025, climbed onto the same altar, threw candlesticks to the ground, and removed the altar cloth, without a penitential rite being performed; and a naked man who climbed onto the Altar of the Confession and shouted a pro-Ukraine message on June 1, 2023.
Cardinal Gambetti’s five‑year term as vicar general for Vatican City, and therefore as archpriest of the Basilica, is set to expire on February 20. At that time Pope Leo XIV will decide whether to extend his term or appoint someone new.

An Ignored Message
by Fr. Victor Mroz OFM
gloria.tv | January 30, 2026
"... America's problems are not basically political but moral. The root causes of our misery have not been removed. As a nation, we continue to turn our backs on God and His Commandments. We pay God lip service through pious words, then continue our wicked deeds: such as the continued wholesale slaughter of the innocents through millions of abortion murders of the helpless unborn in their mother's wombs. And all other crimes are growing rapidly, as statistics show. God will 'not be mocked forever.
Unless this nation turns to repentance and comes back to God and His laws through prayer, penance and Christian principles of living, we will eventually face a day of frightful reckoning. When I see the people reading the daily papers and magazines I am sorry for them. They seek to understand the present situation through the Marxist, leftist, naturalistic or humanist opinions and propaganda of the secular press. Even if they read so-called Catholic or diocesan papers they still are not told the total truth. In many cases, I think, the editors of the present post-Vatican era in the Conciliar Church are just blind people, trying to lead the blind sheep.
They will never admit it but they are infected with so many diseases such as Modernism, naturalism, false ecumenism and other "isms". One World Government, the Welfare State, even plain Socialism and Communism seem all right to them. How many "Catholic" writers and Popes sing hymns of praise to the United Nations although we know that that international body is but a conspiratorial tool of communism to subject the world to satanic slavery?
Our Blessed Virgin Mary in her message to the three children at Fatima in 1917 said: "If the world does not amend its evil ways, there will be a great chastisement ... "The Blessed Virgin went so far as to name the instrument of God's punishment for mankind: Russia! This she said in 1917, before the Communist revolution in Russia had even surfaced! Who could know that a bunch of Bolsheviks would multiply into a worldwide Beast of the Apocalypse? But she said this: "Its errors will spread throughout the world and nations will be annihilated ... "
Wars are punishments for sins, said the Blessed Virgin, but the Church leaders did not make efforts to spread the Fatima Message. They were not bothered with it .They still appear indifferent now. Although catastrophe is closer every day, the leaders of the Conciliar Church remain silent at best, or actively participate in this evil work. I am quite sure they won't heed these warnings of Our Lady and tell the people the truth...
It was on May 13, 1917 that the Blessed Mother for the first time appeared to three children in a field called Cova da Iria near Fatima, north of Lisbon, Portugal. It happened that, during that apparition and the five subsequent ones each month on the same date until October 13, the Blessed Virgin urged frequent recitation of the Rosary, asked for penance and mortification for the conversion of sinners, called for devotion to her Immaculate Heart, asked that Russia be dedicated to her Immaculate Heart by the Pope with the world Bishops, and that the faithful make a Communion of reparation on the first Saturday of five consecutive months. The apparitions of Fatima were declared authentic 13 years later, in 1930, after seven years of canonical investigation by Pope Pius XI, who also authorized the devotion to Our Lady of Fatima under the title of Our Lady of the Rosary.
In October 1942, the middle of World II, Pope Pius XII dedicated the world - and what a world it was already then becoming! - to Immaculate Heart of Mary, but very few Bishops joined him and Russia was not clearly mentioned. Only ten years later, in 1952, in the first apostolic letter ever addressed directly to the peoples of Russia, the same Pope dedicated in a special manner to the Mother God… The first part [of the Fatima message] dealt with a vision of hell, the second promised the conversion of Russia if people would amend their lives; and the third part was the one that is known as “The Secret of Fatima” which the Blessed Virgin ordered not to be opened until 1960. Pope John XXIII, who was the Pope in 1960, read the Message, but decided not to publish it. When I was in Rome, in May 1976, I asked my good friend and classmate Father Flavian Slonimski, who was a Prefect of the Apostolic Penitentiary for many years and still is an apostolic confessor at St. Peter’s Basilica, why the Pope was keeping the Third Secret to himself. He told me bluntly: "Because there are in it too many horrible things"…"

Pope Leo doubles down on Vatican rejection of ‘Co-Redemptrix’
At a time of apostasy, impurity, and confusion, the faithful do not need a diminished Mother.

Jan 29, 2026
(LifeSiteNews) — On Thursday morning, Pope Leo XIV publicly praised a Vatican document that has already sparked one of the most serious Marian controversies in decades.
Addressing the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Pope commended the doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidelis, issued under the extremely controversial Cardinal Víctor Manuel Fernández, infamous for his books on kissing [etc.].
Leo praised the Fernández document, saying it “encourages popular Marian devotion, deepening its biblical and theological foundations, and at the same time offers precise and important clarifications for Mariology.”
While many suggested that it was only Fernández who issued the document, the Pope has now doubled down on his support after having originally permitted its publication and signing it.
But a growing number of faithful Catholics—bishops, priests, theologians, and even the Pope’s own former flock—say those “clarifications” do something very different.
They say the document diminishes the Blessed Virgin Mary, restricts time-honored Catholic language, and effectively repudiates doctrines that popes, saints, and the universal Church have taught for centuries.
Remember what the document actually says. Mater Populi Fidelis declares that the Marian title “Co-Redemptrix” is “always inappropriate,” and it discourages the title “Mediatrix of All Graces,” claiming it is not clearly grounded in revelation and risks confusion.

| The Catholic Trumpet: Thou Shalt Believe ... or No Oils for Thee |

THOU SHALT BELIEVE… OR NO OILS FOR THEE
Dear Readers,
A new video has now been released on the Catholic Trumpet YouTube channel documenting a matter that can no longer be minimized, excused, or dismissed.
In April 2023, correspondence between +Bishop Williamson and Father David Hewko revealed that acceptance of Novus Ordo “Eucharistic miracles” had become a condition for receiving Holy Oils.
This is not rumor. This is not inference. This is not interpretation.
This video presents:
• The entire Veneta, Oregon conference (2016) in which +Bishop Williamson explicitly stated he “will not consider” retracting his claims (and doubles down) regarding benefits of the Novus Ordo Mass and so-called Novus Ordo “miracles.”
• The April 19–21, 2023 email correspondence between +Bishop Williamson and Fr. David Hewko confirming the conditions placed on the distribution of Holy Oils.
• Fr. Hewko’s written response, explaining precisely why a Catholic priest cannot promote these alleged miracles without betraying the Faith:
“Belief in the New Mass ‘miracles’… leads directly to the New Mass. The New Mass… represents a Rite that is ‘odious in God’s sight’… True miracles confirm the Truth… Will God work miracles to reinforce errors, heresy, and sacrilege?” — Fr. David Hewko
The New Religion cannot build the Catholic faith; it exists to destroy it. What it does build is a false faith within the Conciliar Church. It possesses its own false apparitions (such as Garabandal and Medjugorje), its own false rite, its own false “saints,” its own fabricated mysteries of the Rosary (the so-called Luminous Mysteries), and its alleged Novus Ordo “miracles,” which are not proofs of divine approval but deceptive signs. As Sacred Scripture warns: “For they are the spirits of devils working signs…” (Apocalypse 16:14). These so-called miracles are therefore not supernatural confirmations from God; and insofar as anything real occurs, they are preternatural signs worked by the devil for the purpose of deception.
What is presented here is not a disagreement of temperament or strategy, but a doctrinal fault line: whether miracles can be invoked to legitimize a rite condemned by the Church’s own theological principles.
This video allows the sources to speak for themselves.

From the video description:
In April 2023, private correspondence between Bishop Williamson and Father David Hewko revealed that acceptance of Novus Ordo Eucharistic “miracles” had become a condition for receiving Holy Oils - sacramentals necessary for Baptism and Extreme Unction.
In this video, it is clear that +Bishop Williamson promotes Novus Ordo “Eucharistic miracles” and denies Holy Oils to priests who refuse to accept or promote them.
Many still believe these remarks were theoretical, speculative, or merely personal opinions.
This presentation includes:
-The full Veneta, Oregon conference 2016, where +Bishop Williamson said he “will not consider” retracting his statements on Novus Ordo Mass benefits and so-called NO “miracles.”
-The 2023 emails with Fr. Hewko confirming the conditions Williamson placed on receiving Holy Oils.
-Fr. Hewko’s response explains why he cannot promote these false miracles:
“Belief in the New Mass ‘miracles’… leads directly to the New Mass. The New Mass… represents a Rite that is ‘odious in God’s sight’… True miracles confirm the Truth… Will God work miracles to reinforce errors, heresy, and sacrilege?” – Fr. David Hewko
Scripture warns of false signs and wonders:
“For they are the spirits of devils, working signs” – Apocalypse 16:14
