August 25, 2013 sees the 130th anniversary of the foundation of the Abbey-Principality of San Luigi, the Feast Day of our Patron St Louis, and the second anniversary of the accession of H.S.H. the Most Revd. Edmond III as Prince-Abbot.

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is being offered in commemoration of these events at all oratories of the Abbey-Principality.

O God, who didst call thy servant Louis of France to an earthly throne that he might advance thy heavenly kingdom, and didst give him zeal for thy Church and love for thy people: Mercifully grant that we who commemorate him this day may be fruitful in good works, and attain to the glorious crown of thy saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
