Traditional Latin Mass at St. Mary's (1962 Missal) Every first and third Friday of the month, at 7:30 p.m., St. Mary’s offers the Mass according to the Roman Missal of 1962. This form of Mass is also known as the “Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite,” the “Mass of Blessed John XXIII,” the “Tridentine Mass” or the “Traditional Latin Mass.” This celebration will normally be a “Low Mass” with a schola or cantor. All are invited to participate in this Mass. For more information on this form of Mass, visit  www.sanctamissa.org.

The Mass in Latin (1970 Missal) The regular 10:00 a.m. Mass on the first Sunday of the month is celebrated in Latin. This form of Mass is the regular Mass most Catholics are used to (“Novus Ordo,” or “Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite”), only celebrated in Latin. Click here for the Ordo Missæ cum populo in Latin and English. Audio files of the Latin Mass are now available.

Learn to Pray in Latin "...steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them." (II Vatican Council, Sacrosanctum Concilium, Article 54) Click here for a guide to pronouncing Ecclesiastical Latin, from the Thesaurus Precum Latinarum.

Pater Noster (Our Father) SoundPater noster, qui es in cælis: sanctificétur nomen tuum; advéniat regnum tuum; fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo, et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie; et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris; et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem; sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
