4/30/24 - Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP

Fr. Joseph Dalimata, FSSP serves as Parochial Vicar at Immaculate Conception Church in El Paso, Texas. He was ordained in May of 2021.   In Today's Show Being in El Paso and near Fort Bliss, do you support the base in any way? Does the base have its own Priest or do local Priests go onto the base to support the soldiers? We had Mass when I was in Afghanistan. Were those Priests attached to the Army or do diocesan Priests volunteer to go? The Catholic Church has a dogma of "mediatrix". It suggests Catholics asking saints such as Mary for intercession, mediation in their prayer. How does this not contradict the bible verse 1 Timothy 2:5 "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus." Different beliefs regarding transubstantiation in Eastern Rite Catholic churches I believe I may have had a vision from God and I'm wondering what your thoughts are. Should first Communicants only be taught to receive in the hand? This bothers me, but I don't know if I should speak with the priest or how else to proceed. Is there an age limit or minimum age requirement to become a priest or deacon? If I miss a day of a novena or am late (past midnight) when I remember to say the novena prayer, should I restart the novena? Is the Eucharist valid if the Novus Ordo parish I attend promotes the rainbow/pride flag? With May starting tomorrow and being the Month of Our Lady, how can we show our love to her during this month? Prayers? Devotions? I'm 13 years old and not allowed to wear bikinis. My question is, could I go to hell for wearing a bikini? And if i would, would I still go to hell if it is a girls-only party?   Visit the show page at thestationofthecross.com/askapriest to listen live, check out the weekly lineup, listen to podcasts of past episodes, watch live video, find show resources, sign up for our mailing list of upcoming shows, and submit your question for Father!
