Order Mater Dei is a religious Order of secular clergy (deacons, priests and bishops). The Order is rather unique insofar as the clergy do not live together in community but carry on their work in the secular world, among the faithful, through the preaching of the Gospel, the administration of the Sacraments and the celebration of the Sacred Mysteries.
History
Cead Mile Failte Romhat
Biography of Most Rev Pierre-Martin Ngo-Dihn-Thuc
On the 15th of March 1938, His Holiness Pope Pius XI granted to His Excellency, the Most Rev Pierre-Martin Ngo-Dihn-Thuc a Papal Mandate, granting him "full papal powers", i.e. the right to ordain priests and consecrate bishops without consultation with the Holy See. This Mandate was not, and has not been revoked. Monsignor Thuc later became famous for his contused opposition to Vatican II, and he proceeded to ordain and consecrate men whom he believed would keep the pre-Vatican II Church alive, adhering to the Traditional Latin Mass and Rituals.
Our Holy Orders can be traced directly back to Monsignor Thuc.
As an Independent Catholic Order of priests and bishops, we have a great love for and devotion to the Traditional Mass (The Tridentine or Latin Mass as it is commonly known). However, we also adhere to the rules and rites of the Roman Church and therefore accept as equally valid the Novus Ordo (New Mass, or the vernacular Mass which most people hear).
Being Catholic, we celebrate the Seven Sacraments of the Church, and offer our services to all who approach Christ with a sincere and contrite heart.
These seven sacraments are:
1. Baptism
2. Confirmation
3. The Eucharist (or Mass, or the Lord's Supper)
4. Reconciliation (Confession)
5. Holy Orders (i.e. ordination of deacons, priests and the consecration of bishops)
6. Matrimony
7. Extreme Unction (or 'The Sacrament of the Sick')
As part of the Sacraments of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Infirm, there is included a ministry of healing and some of our clergy have vast experience in this area.

Our Holy Father, the Pope, being the Bishop of Rome is the lawful successor of Saint Peter and as such is chief pastor of the Church, that is, the "One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic" Church.
On the 16 th of June, 2000 Pope John Paul II ratified and ordered the publication of "Dominus Iesus". This Declaration by The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith was signed and published by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger (now Pope Benedict XVI) in August of the same year. In this Declaration, the Roman Catholic Church recognizes the validity of Orders and Sacraments of other Catholic denominations:
"These Churches which, while not existing in perfect communion with the (Roman) Catholic Church, remain united to her by means of the closest bonds, that is, by apostolic succession and a valid Eucharist, and are true particular Churches"............... "Therefore, these separated Churches and communities as such...have by no means been deprived of significance and importance in the mystery of salvation. For the spirit of Christ has not refrained from using them as means of salvation which derive their efficacy from the very fullness of grace and truth entrusted to the Catholic Church".
There are elements within the organizational church who would deny us our priesthood. To these and to all others we reiterate the facts. The line of Apostolic succession has not been severed and remains intact, ipso facto our orders are valid and no argument to the contrary is, or can be, founded on truth. Little else need be said on this issue, other than those who, through malice or misunderstanding, refuse to accept our orders are denying the continuity of the Sacrament of Holy Orders and in so doing are attacking the very foundation-stone of the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Place Type Church.
We need to continue to move and to move more rapidly to the model of Church in which the priest concentrates on the work that requires the presence of a priest. These are all the pastoral duties related to a priest's vocation of preaching the Word of God. On their own, they constitute a busy workload when performed with care and generosity:
• Celebration of the sacraments of Eucharist, Baptism, Penance, Anointing of the Sick and the Witnessing of Marriages.
• Celebration of funerals and other liturgies.
• Visitation of schools, hospitals, nursing homes and the sick in their own homes.
• The Church needs your help to ensure that other important tasks are not neglected. Already you are being generous with your time, but I encourage more and more people to come forward and volunteer for the essential work of Eucharistic Ministers, Readers, Choirs, Managing Finances, School Boards of Management, Maintenance of parish buildings and Works of Charity. A move in this direction is a move towards a new model of Church. It is not about lay people helping the priest.

GUIDELINES FOR THE RECEPTION OF COMMUNION
FOR CATHOLICS
As Catholics, we fully participate in the celebration of the Eucharist when we receive Holy Communion. We are encouraged to receive Communion devoutly and frequently. In order to be properly disposed to receive Communion, participants should not be conscious of grave sin and normally should have fasted for one hour. A person who is conscious of grave sin is not to receive the Body and Blood of the Lord without prior sacramental confession except for a grave reason where there is no opportunity for confession. In this case, the person is to be mindful of the obligation to make an act of perfect contrition, including the intention of confessing as soon as possible (canon 916). Frequent reception of the Sacrament of Penance is encouraged for all.
FOR OUR FELLOW CHRISTIANS
We welcome our fellow Christians to the celebration of the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters. We pray that our common baptism and the action of the Holy Spirit in the Eucharist will draw us closer to one another and begin to dispel the sad divisions which separate us. We pray that these will lessen and finally disappear, in keeping with Christ's prayer for us "that they may all be one" (Jn 17:21).
Since Catholics believe that the celebration of the Eucharist is a sign of the reality of the oneness of faith, life and worship, - members of those churches with whom we are not yet fully united are ordinarily not admitted to Holy Communion. Eucharistic sharing in exceptional circumstances by other Christians requires permission according to the directives of the diocesan bishop and the provisions of canon law (canon 844§4). Members of Orthodox Churches are urged to respect the discipline of their own Churches. According to Roman Catholic Discipline however, reception of communion by Christians of these Churches is permissible, (canon 844§3).
FOR NON-CHRISTIANS
We welcome to our celebrations those who do not share our faith in Jesus Christ. While we cannot admit them to Holy Communion, we ask them to offer their prayers for the peace and the unity of the human family.
We administer the 7 Sacraments of the Catholic Church mainly to those who fall outside the Roman Catholic Sect of the Church who may feel isolated. Some of our members are teachers in secondary schools, lecturers in third level colleges and universities while others are involved in social and economic development as well as serving as chaplains to various institutions. We may be seen as an auxiliary force who promote the Roman Catholic Church as first preference and act as a safety net for those who fall by the wayside so to speak.

Please Note:
I have validly ordained one bishop who resides in
Archbishop Thuc died on the 13th of December 1984 and you need to check with those claiming to have Holy Orders from His Excellency as to what lineage they belong if any in some cases. Remember "a fool and his money are easy parted" ! Watch out and check those out thoroughly before sending donations over the net.! I am 4th lineage from Archbishop Thuc coming from Archbishop Cox who is 3rd lineage.
Priests validly ordained by me should have a certificate in English only. In that light be aware of those who have certificated in Latin. As well you need to be aware of is "all priests that have told lies and/or deceived me at a ceremony have invalidated their ordination automatically".
Please note: The sub order called "Order of Marian Apostles" (OMA) commissioned on the 24th July 2002 By our Patriarch His Beatitude Most Rev Dr Michael Cox DD MA OMD has been closed down and silenced by myself and the Archbishop Patriarch Michael Cox DD MA OMD on Monday the 14th of January 2008.
