             Foreword        

The collection, compilation, revision, and promulgation of liturgical texts is central to the life of the Holy Canonist Church. Through Divine Liturgy, the Sacraments of the Church are communicated to Her faithful efficaciously. 

 

Inspired by this truth, the Liturgical Library of Elphius of the Immaculate Throne has been established within the City of Helena. The function of this institute and archive is to collect, study, and build upon the liturgical traditions of the past in an effort to renew the timeless history of the Holy Canonist Church.

 

Patron

Blessed High Pontiff Jude I, known by his lay name Elphius Stem was a prolific author throughout his Pontificate. Not only did the High Pontiff author numerous liturgical texts- from Rites on Abjuration of the Ungodly to Flexian Funerals- His Late Holiness rediscovered a treasure trove of documents from the early church. Documents such as the High Mass of St. Clement the official high liturgy of the Church employed now and always. 

 

In his Pontifical Encyclical “Sacerdotii in Nostra Ecclesiae”  His Late Holiness insists that “the source and summit of the parish priest is his commitment to regularly celebrate the liturgy, in essence bring to the faithful the celebration of the Mass. The priest must facilitate in bringing to the forefront of his ministry in presiding over the highest form of worship in the Church, reciting the litanies and prayers most pleasing to GOD.”  In a spirit of obedience to this portly Pontiff this liturgical library hopes to strengthen the ministry of Priests throughout the ages through liturgics.

Men of the Cloth who wish to enter into the fraternity of the library are welcomed to do so.

Upon completion, a symbol of their academic and spiritual commitment to liturgy will be conferred onto them with the mark of the order, a degree in its own right being added to their suffix (O.E.Csi).
