Metro Detroit: Memorial Tonight for Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ, at St. Joan of Arc

Each year on December 30th, there is a memorial Mass in metro Detroit for Fr. John Hardon, SJ, who spent his final years in an office on the grounds of Assumption Grotto.  He was a spiritual director to many. 

Fr. Lee Acervo will celebrate the Mass which will be held at 7:30 PM at St. Joan of Arc at 22412 Overlake Street in St. Clair Shores, Michigan.  The Churh parking lot is actually on Greater Mack.  Fr. Acervo is now an associate priest at St. Joan of Arc.

The Mass used to be held at Assumption Grotto, but since there is a cause for Fr. Hardon, others must have an opportunity to learn about this saintly priest.

AUDIO: KRESTA INTERVIEWS POSTULATOR FOR FR. HARDON'S CAUSE
Fr. Robert McDermott, the postulator for Fr. Hardon's cause, is interviewed by Kresta about sainthood causes in general, what is involved, and how cases like Fr. Hardon's or Bishop Sheen's differs from that of others like Fr. Michael McGivney. 

You can listen to the audio online, or go here to subscribe to Kresta's podcast.  It is the third segment of the first hour on June 15, 2011 (click here to listen online, but note that the audio may start running as soon as you get there, so if you are not at home.... you know... LOL)

Third Topic -Memorial Mass for Fr. John Hardon on his Birthday / Anniversary of Ordination

Servant of God, Fr. John Hardon, was a Jesuit priest, writer, and theologian. Father Hardon wrote dozens of books on religion and theology including: The Catholic Catechism, a defining volume of Catholic orthodoxy; and the Modern Catholic Dictionary, the first major Catholic reference dictionary published after the Second Vatican Council. The talk to Fr. Robert McDermott, Postulator of the Cause of Fr. Hardon.

Fr. Hardon was a prolific writer, one of the reasons his cause will take longer than others who did not have many writings. He was a master catechist, one who guided faithful and confused Catholics alike during the turbulent post-Vatican II years when teachings were being distorted. Here are just a few of his books.  I highly recommend, especially, the Treasury of Catholic Wisdom.

Postulator for the Cause of Fr. John Hardon to Celebrate Mass this Friday at Grotto

From the Assumption Grotto homepage:

Fr. Robert McDermott, Postulator for the Cause of Beatification and Canonization of the Servant of God, Fr. John A. Hardon S.J., will be the Homilist at a Mermorial Mass celebrated by Fr. Eduard Perrone on June 18th at 7:00 p.m. at Assumption Grotto Church. A Marian Catechist meeting will be held after Mass in the school lounge. Everyone is invited. [this ought to be interesting]

Fr. Hardon spent much time in his final years at Assumption Grotto.  I happened to be there with my camera the day that Msgr. Eugene Morris(then Fr. Morris) made the trip to the parish to move his library back to St. Louis, Missouri, where his case is being studied. 

There is a webpage dedicated to the cause of Fr. John Hardon, SJ. 

There was also a nice article in National Catholic Register print edition (Sept 2006) that I was authorized to republish enttitled: "St. John Hardon?", which gives some interesting details of his life.

Please come if you are available for this special evening at Assumption Grotto.

Photopost: December 30, 2009 Memorial Mass for Servant of God, Rev. John A. Hardon SJ

I regret the delay in finalizing these photos I took on December 30th - the date of the Memorial Mass for Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ, whose cause for sainthood is being pursued. 

As you know, Fr. Hardon spent his final working years in an office on the grounds of Assumption Grotto in Detroit.  His library was moved one weekend - 500 boxes in all - by Msgr. Eugene Morris in November of 2007 from Assumption Grotto back to St. Louis where his cause is being studied.

Each year, a memorial Mass is celebrated for Fr. Hardon on the anniversary of his death.  This year, it was held at nearby Ss Cyril & Methodius with Episcopal Delegate for the Cause, Fr. Robert T. McDermott. 

As I have done most years, I photographed the Mass.  Here is a slideshow (a direct link to the gallery with individual photos is below):

News about Fr. John A. Hardon - The archive, the guild, and a blessing...

Rite of Blessing with Archbishop Raymond L. Burke

James Maldonado Berry

On Monday, September 21st, Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, the Prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, presided over the Rite of Blessing of the offices of The Fr. John A. Hardon S.J., Archive and Guild, located in the former convent of the Cathedral-Basilica of Saint Louis. Approximately one-hundred people turned out for the event, during which Archbishop Burke praised Fr. Hardon as a priest who courageously preached the faith “in and out of season.” Immediately following the blessing there was an open house at the office and a reception in the Jubilee Garden of the Cathedral-Basilica Rectory. The blessing was a highlight for the archbishop emeritus of Saint Louis, who has been overseeing the cause of Fr. John A. Hardon S.J for several years now, and also for the small team of officers working on the Cause. Fr. Robert T. McDermott, a priest from the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, serves as the Postulator of the Cause and James Maldonado Berry is the Executive Director of the Archive and Guild. Msgr. C. Eugene Morris, pastor of Saint Mary Magdalen Parish in Brentwood, serves as the Episcopal Delegate; Fr. Kristian Teater, a professor at Kenrick Glennon Seminary, is the Promoter of Justice and Dr. Elizabeth Mitchell, working from Milwaukee, is the theological consultant.

The work of The Fr. John A. Hardon S.J., Archive and Guild has been underway quietly for a couple of years now. This news may come as a surprise to many faithful who didn’t even know that such a project was underway in the backyard of their own Archdiocese. Upon Fr. Hardon’s death on December 30, 2000, he willed his extensive library and correspondence to Archbishop Raymond L. Burke. “For some time, we have been occupied primarily with the nuts and bolts of “setting up shop” but now, with the long distance encouragement of Archbishop Burke from Rome, and the enthusiastic blessing of Archbishop Carlson, we’re expecting to move forward in the upcoming year with a higher public profile,” said Fr. McDermott. The office itself serves as a repository and a museum of sorts, dedicated to preserving the memory of Fr. John A. Hardon, and spreading devotion to him and his spirituality as well. The archives contain numerous files, such as personal correspondence, academic papers, and manuscripts, all pertaining to Fr. Hardon. The basement serves as a library, housing Fr. Hardon’s voluminous personal collection of books, numbering well into the thousands. “It was really the only place in the entire house that could comfortably store so many books,” remarked Fr. McDermott. The most poignant feature of the office is the Fr. John A. Hardon S.J. Room. Set in the living room of the former convent, this room serves as a museum dedicated to the life of Fr. Hardon. Several glass display cases contain various personal effects of Fr. Hardon’s, like his rosary, scapular, passport and even his Jesuit cassock, which, throughout his life, he would devoutly kiss every day before putting it on. In this room, the officers of the Archive and Guild meet to discuss the multi-layered dimensions of the cause and its future path.

In the upcoming months, the officers working on the cause will begin collecting official testimonies from individuals across the country and in other parts of the world who knew Fr. Hardon. Fr. Hardon assisted Blessed Teresa of Calcutta in establishing the contemplative branch of the Missionaries of Charity. Given the scope of Fr. Hardon’s academic and spiritual writings, which consists of over forty books and other unpublished manuscripts. This investigative process is expected to take several years. Those interested in learning more about Fr. Hardon’s life, writings and spirituality are encouraged to check out the website of The Fr. John A. Hardon S.J. Archive and Guild at: http://www.hardonsj.org/.

Christmas Season Mass & Confession Schedule and Fr. Hardon Remembrance

Holy Smoke! Light coming from the windows illuminates incense after a Mass celebrated at Assumption Grotto by Archbishop Raymond L. Burke in remembrance of Fr. John A. Hardon in 2007.

With Christmas quickly approaching and many things yet to be done in preparation, there will be little posting. However, stay tuned for news out of Assumption Grotto and any other special breaking news. I will try to keep posting, but it will be difficult timewise, as you can probably understand. I suspect many will not have much time for blog reading right now.

However, there are some things I want to pass along. I'm really late giving this out so hopefully, people have been regularly checking the trusty, main Assumption Grotto website.

Pre-Christmas Confession schedule at Grotto:

• Today - Saturday: 2:30-3:30pm
• Sunday - 9:00am and 11:30am
• [CORRECTION - This is at Sts Cyril & Methodius in Sterling Heights] Special day and time: Monday - 10:00am - Noon and 6:00 - 9:00pm

The usual Mass schedule still applies for the weekend and for the upcoming holy day with the exception noted below about the New Years Eve celebration of the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God.

Christmas Season Orchestra Mass Schedule:

Note: If you are planning on coming to an Orchestra Mass, you will want to get there up to 45 minutes before start of Mass to ensure a decent parking spot. It is an experience you will never forget. Also, consider that the music was written for the old Masses. Orchestra Masses tend to run about 90 - 105 minutes, but the time really flies.

Alexandre Guilmant's 3rd Solemn Mass
(first orchestral performances in the USA)

Dec. 25 Midnight
Dec. 28 9:30 AM
Jan. 4 Noon

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God and New Year's Eve
Also noteworthy, is that Assumption Grotto holds an 11:00pm Mass on New Years Eve for the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God - a holy day of obligation. It is an awesome thing to hear the world outside bring in the New Year while we are inside the Church receiving Communion and honoring the Blessed Mother on her feast day. Father leads us in the Holy Rosary afterwards and by the time that is done, things have settled down outside (hey - it's the inner city and yeah - it gets interesting). We then make our way to the school building to have a New Year's Eve potluck dinner around 12:20am.

Fr. Hardon Day of Remembrance this Saturday

I must break from my blogging hiatus, which began with significant loss of time due to my mother's illness.

I want to make note of the Fr. Hardon Day of Remembrance at Assumption Grotto this Saturday. Please see a post made by Thomas, the American Papist for further details, including a flyer.

I was sent the details some time ago, but did not want to post prematurely. I don't have time to make an extensive post on it, and most likely will not be at the event, but would like to at least direct your attention to it. Fr. John Hardon was one of the greatest theologians of the modern era, and a great defender of orthodoxy. He spent his final working years at Assumption Grotto in a small office and was spiritual director to many at my parish.

Fr. John A. Hardon on Detraction

It would seem helpful in light of discussion surrounding Fr. Benedict Groeschel's admonishment to not engage in detraction on blogs, to share more on this grave matter by another humble priest: Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ. Fr. Hardon goes in depth on the catechesis of this issue.

I'll start you out here, but please read the entire section at the site where this is stored.

Commandments of God - Detraction and Calumny
by Fr. John A. Hardon, S.J.

The immediate focus of the Eighth Commandment is falsehood that does injury to one's neighbor. Harm to another person's reputation, therefore, is the special prohibition of this divine mandate.

A person's reputation may be injured in various ways, notably by detraction and calumny or slander. Detraction is the unjust violation of the good reputation of another by revealing something true about him. Calumny or slander differs from detraction in that what is said or imputed about a person is not true.

A good reputation is the esteem that one person has formed and entertains about another. It may regard his moral qualities, such as honesty, chastity, or truthfulness; it may regard physical and mental qualities or attainments. In either case, reputation is the object of an acquired right, and consequently to take it away or lower it becomes an act of injustice. Not only the living but also the dead have a right to good esteem. During life we wish to remain in the grateful memory of mankind, and such an expectation can lead us to great exploits.

What needs to be stressed, however, is that a person's good name is something he cherishes even though we may not think he deserves it. No matter; it is his good name, not ours. We may, if we wish, forfeit our good name provided no harm is done to others. But another person's good reputation belongs to him, and we may not do it injury by revealing, without proportionately grave reason, what we know is true about him.

Detraction is consequently a sin against justice because it deprives a man or woman of what they ordinarily value more than riches. Socrates' statement that the way to gain a good reputation is to endeavour to be what you desire to appear highlights the effort required to acquire a good name. All of this, more even than accumulated wealth, can be destroyed by a single criminal act of detraction.

The seriousness of the sin committed will mainly derive from the gravity of the fault or limitation disclosed. But it will also depend on the dignity of the person detracted and the harm done to him and others by revealing something that is hidden and whose disclosure lowers (if it does not ruin) his standing in the public eye.

Not unlike the restitution called for in stealing, detraction demands reparation as far as possible to the injured person's reputation. Often such reparation is next to impossible to make, either because of the number of people informed or the complexity of the situation. But this merely emphasizes the warning of Scripture to "Be careful of your reputation, for it will last you longer than a thousand hoards of gold. A good life lasts a certain number of days, but a good reputation lasts forever" (Si. 41:12-16).

The essence of detraction is the unwarranted disclosure of a hidden failing, which implies that there are occasions when the disclosure can and even should be made.

When the revelation of another person's fault is necessary or very useful, as in defense of self or of others, no injustice is done in revealing it. This would be the case when the failing or defect is made known to parents, or superiors, or for the purpose of seeking counsel or help, or to prevent harm to others, though again, there must be adequate proportion between the lessening of a person's reputation (which is not intended) and the good to be achieved by the disclosure (which is intended). This would cover such contingencies as anticipating unjust harm to oneself in the law courts, or even seeking consolation of a trusted friend by revealing the injustice done.

The "Fr. John Hardon Years at Grotto" comes to a close as his library moves to Missouri

Fr. Eugene Morris (center) from Kenrick-Glennon Seminary who came to haul Fr. Hardon's library to Missouri where it will be studied stands with a group of volunteers.

While an era comes to a close physically, a spiritual one lives on while contributing to a canonical beginning into the cause of sainthood for Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ.

It was bittersweet to watch the late Fr. Hardon's library move to Missouri from Assumption Grotto in Detroit. And, how ironic is it that it all happened on the Feast of all Saints?

As previously discussed in a September of 2006 article in the National Catholic Register called, "St. John Hardon?", the great theologian who is behind more apostolates and efforts than I can count, is having his cause advanced for sainthood. It was bitter to watch the library leave Assumption Grotto, yet sweet to know it was in the best of hands for the most proper of causes.

Archbishop Raymond L. Burke of St. Louis, Missouri, sent Fr. Eugene Morris of the Kenrick-Glennon Seminary to pick up around 500 boxes which had been kept in the room shown below since Fr. Hardon's death. Fr. John Hardon spent his final years working out of an office on the grounds of Assumption Grotto and was a spiritual director to everyone with whom he came into contact, even if only for a moment. Parishioners have shared stories many times with me about how giving he was with his time, never turning down someone in need of spiritual help or assistance in getting some project or apostolate off the ground.

Once full, the shelves are now empty. Many had seen the windows to the library which had overlooked the gym and even I myself wondered what was up there. Nothing was permitted to leave and it was carefully guarded all these years.
