January 14, 2006, Archbishop Raymond L. Burke of St. Louis came to Assumption Grotto as head of the Marian Catechists - one of many organizations founded by Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ.

Please see the Assumption Grotto website on how to get more info on the Marian Catechists and to view original flyer. You don't need to be an official Catechist to become a Marian Catechist. It's about learning and being able to pass on what you learn and it has a great home study program. It was originally developed with the Missionaries of Charity in mind, who were among the first to benefit from it. More extensive information can be found on the website of the Marian Catechists.
I've been pondering this plunge for some time now. I may have to actually do something about it!

You might wonder why Archbishop Burke would come to Assumption Grotto to remember Fr. Hardon. Fr. Hardon spent his last years at Assumption Grotto - such a blessing to all those who got to know this great and holy theologian, who was recently profiled in the National Catholic Register in the article, "St. John Hardon?".
Lets give Archbishop Burke a good showing!!! Whether you are interested in becoming a Marian Catechist or not, you will love his homily and his conference talk - always solidly Catholic.

Deo Gratias!
5 Somebody Comment!!!:
Sorry Matthew - I had to delete your comment. While I'm sure Archbishop Burke appreciates your enthusiasm, I don't think he would appreciate it being stated just that way - if you know what I mean. Post it again, but leave the one thing out that some might not appreciate, even if it was just in symbols. Thanks for understanding.
Dear Diane,
Greetings from South Asia.
I am an orthodox south asian catholic whose ancestors were baptized by Saint francis Xavier himself.
I have some questions and i would be grateful if you could answer them for me.
I have visited the main web site of "Assumption Grotto" as well as your awesome blogspot on many occassions.
My First question is:
I am a huge fan of "Sacred Choral Music" as well as of The Orchestral Masses which are performed at "Assumption Grotto" every sunday or whenever but they do not seem to be available as mp3 audio files on the internet anywhere.
I love Rennaissance Sacred Music specially the works of Palestrina, Tomas Luis De Victoria, etc.
I come from a country where Orchestral Masses as well as where Sacred choral music is not easily available at all.
Can some mp3 audio files be emailed to me of those awesome "Orchestral Masses"?
I would also like to know whether there is any site on the internet that is hosting the "Chanted Rosary, Chaplet of Divine Mercy, as well as Angelus ?
I would be most grateful for whatever you can do for me.
My email address is:

I'll never forget Fr. Hardon's fine lecture for us on the Rosary...completely in Latin.
Hehehehehe.....someone else just told me about something similar. That Fr. Hardon wanted to keep his Latin teaching skills up and would impromptu, set aside whatever he was working on and start lecturing.
Hi Dominic,
Sorry I did not get back to you sooner.
The only music we have available would be on CD and is through Grotto Productions in my sidebar, under "Grotto Music".
There are some complications to getting the audio in MP3 format at this time and not all Masses end up on CD.
I can refer you to another parish website which does have online recordings: St. Agnes in Minnesota.
Many of the songs they sing, we have in our repetoire, as well.
Hope this helps.
