Welcome

Immaculate Conception Parish is an Apostolate of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) in the Diocese of Colorado Springs. Thus, the Parish uses the liturgical books that were in force in 1962. All parochial Sacraments are available according to the "Extraordinary" form of the Roman Rite, or the Traditional/Tridentine Latin Mass. These rights are granted to the members of the FSSP as well as to other priests staying in the houses of the Fraternity or exercising their sacred ministry in the churches of the Fraternity.

Church’s Teaching on Dances

What does the Church teach regarding the morality of dances? In 1842 the Church published this book, The Church’s Position on Dancing, available at Amazon: https://www.Amazon.com/Churchs-Position-Dancing-Scriptures-Theologians/dp/BOBSJ3FDJL/. This book pre-dates the statements given by the Vatican in the last century on the topic of dances.

We add the following Vatican statement on this topic, published in 1916 in the official acts of the Holy See; the Acta, online, pp 147- 149: http://www.vatican.va/archive/aas/documents/AAS-08-1916- ocr.pdf. And the 1917 response to the U.S. Bishops who asked for a clarification; from the Acta of the Vatican, pg. 17: http://www.vatican.va/archive/aas/documents/AAS-10-1918-ocr.pdf.
