The Feast of the Most Precious Blood (Red) takes precedence over the Sunday on July 1. The Sunday is not commemorated because it is of the same Divine Person.

St. Lawrence of Brindisi, July 21. In older editions of the Missal, his feast is not listed in the Proprium Sanctorum, but can be found in the MPAL (Missae pro aliquibus locis).

Funerals are permitted every day this month except where a church is celebrating its Titular or the anniversary of its own Consecration.

Looking ahead:
July 16-27, CTS I 2018, St. Mary’s
Aug 6-11, Priests’ Retreat, Los Gatos
Aug 20-25, Catholic Principals’ Seminar, RCH

Prayers for the General Chapter: From July 11 to 21, 2018, the fourth General Chapter of the Society will take place in Ecône. The Superior General has prescribed prayers that are to be recited daily in all the houses of the SSPX for six months before the beginning of the Chapter: the recitation of the Veni Sancte Spiritus to ask the Holy Ghost for enlightenment, and the invocation of the Immaculate Heart of Mary and St. Pius X to obtain their protection and intercession. The faithful and all men of good will are cordially invited to join in these prayers.

Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis ignem accende. 
V. Emitte Spiritum tuum et creabuntur;
R. Et renovabis faciem terrae.
Oremus. Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere, et de eius semper consolatione gaudere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
-Cor Immaculatum Mariae, ora pro nobis qui ad Te recurrimus.
-Sancte Pie decime, ora pro nobis.

Come Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of Thy faithful, and kindle in them the fire of Thy love. 
V. Send forth Thy Spirit, and they shall be created;
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth. 
Let Us Pray: O God, Who didst instruct the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Ghost, grant that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen. 
-Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us who have recourse to thee. 
-St. Pius X, pray for us.
