Act of Consecration of the International Federation Una Voce to the Blessed Virgin Mary under the Mystery of Her Immaculate Conception

4^th December 2015

Dear members of the Federation,

As you know, during the last general assembly that took place in Rome, our Federation was consecrated to the Blessed Virgin Mary under her title of the Immaculate Conception, as Patroness of the FIUV.

Since we are approaching the feast of the Immaculate, I would like to invite each of your local associations to consecrate individually to Our Immaculate Lady, so that She helps and protects us in these difficult times.

You will find below the links to the text of the consecration in Latin, English, French, Italian and Spanish, so that next 8th December, all Una Voce associations can unanimously, make this consecration, certain that our request for protection will be attended by the Blessed Virgin, who always helps her faithful children.

Once again, I would like to thank and offer my help to all of you, asking the Immaculate Virgin Mary to always bless you.

In Christ and His Most Holy Mother.

Felipe Alanís Suárez.

President

Prophetic words of the Founder...

“A renaissance will come: asceticism and adoration as the mainspring of direct total dedication to Christ will return. Confraternities of priests, vowed to celibacy and to an intense life of prayer and meditation will be formed. Religious will regroup themselves into houses of 'strict observance'. A new form of 'Liturgical Movement' will come into being, led by young priests and attracting mainly young people, in protest against the flat, prosaic, philistine or delirious liturgies which will soon overgrow and finally smother even the recently revised rites..."

--- Dr Erich Vermehren de Saventhem, founding President of the International Una Voce Federation, New York 1970

Our abiding mission...

“It is vitally important that these new priests and religious, these new young people with ardent hearts, should find -- if only in a corner of the rambling mansion of the Church -- the treasure of a truly sacred liturgy still glowing softly in the night. And it is our task – since we have been given the grace to appreciate the value of this heritage -- to preserve it from spoliation, from becoming buried out of sight, despised and therefore lost forever. It is our duty to keep it alive: by our own loving attachment, by our support for the priests who make it shine in our churches, by our apostolate at all levels of persuasion...”

--- Dr Erich Vermehren de Saventhem, founding President of the International Una Voce Federation, New York 1970

Dr Borghild Krane, co-founder of the International Una Voce Federation

In 1964, Dr Borghild Krane, an eminent psychologist in Norway, sent out an appeal to concerned Catholics to group together in defence of the Church's liturgical heritage. As a result of that appeal a number of national associations came into being in 1964-65. The first interim President of the nascent and inchoate Federation was His Serene Highness Duke Filippo Caffarelli. Delegates from six European associations met in Rome early in 1965 and the International Federation was formally erected in Zurich on 8 January 1967. Delegates from 20 associations approved the draft statutes and elected the first Council and a new President, Dr Erich Vermehren de Saventhem.
