“Through her intense ardor for the Latin Mass and the time-honored teachings and customs of the Church, Nanette, in 1993, helped reintroduce the timeless Latin Liturgy to the local Jackson community. Following her pious, yet earnest, appeal to the Bishop, asking for the celebration of the Traditional Mass, Nanette and Bill founded the Sacred Heart Tridentine Mass Association, which has helped encourage and promote devotion to this ancient Liturgy for over thirty years and has allowed countless Faithful to experience the rich, sacred loveliness of the Catholic Faith.”

The fruits of their labor are evident at St. Mary’s, especially at the 1pm Traditional Latin Mass, where we are blessed with world class music, regularly have 20+ altar servers, and attendance is usually close to 300 - oftentimes the highest attended Mass of the weekend.

+ Fr. Joseph Rinaldo SdC 1940-2025 RIP

Fr. Rinaldo was a familiar celebrant of the Traditional Latin Mass at St. Mary Star of the Sea. A Requiem Mass will be held TBA.

As posted by Saint Louis Center:

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of Fr. Joseph Rinaldo SdC.

Fr. Joseph’s hometown was Naro, Italy, and he witnessed the horrors of WWII growing up, while the Allies and Axis powers battled for control of his native island, Sicily. As he grew, he became attracted to the charism of St. Louis Guanella, who had a passion for caring for persons with developmental disabilities and the frail elderly.
Fr. Joseph was assigned to St. Louis Center for the first time in 1980, discovering a facility with many needs. He got busy right away looking for creative ways to provide for the needs of the Center. He also oversaw the operation of the Pious Union of St. Joseph.
For many years, Fr. Joe served in many capacities at St. Louis Center, The Pious Union of St. Joseph, and through the Servants of Charity. We are truly grateful to him for his love and commitment to the residents of St. Louis Center and for his years of service to the people of God.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon him. Requiescat in pace.

E' giunta la notizia che questa notte è venuto a mancare il nostro confratello don Giuseppe Rinaldo. Aveva 85 anni e apparteneva alla “Casa San Luigi Guanella” in Don Guanella Bari. Ha vissuto gran parte della sua vita negli Stati Uniti. Lo affidiamo alle braccia misericordiose del Dio della vita. Il Signore gli doni la ricompensa eterna per il tanto bene che ha fatto nella nostra Congregazione e a favore dei poveri che ha incontrato durante la sua vita. Siamo vicini e accompagniamo con la preghiera la sua famiglia, la comunità di Don Guanella Bari e tutti coloro che lo hanno conosciuto e gli hanno voluto bene. 🙏Seguiranno aggiornamenti per il funerale.
