Below, a parish Mass celebrated in the Extraordinary Form in accord with Pope Benedict XVI's Motu Proprio, Summorum Pontificum. Mass is celebrated in the Extraordinary Form most Sundays at 9.30 am, and as announced, on the great feasts. The Extraordinary Form is also known as the Gregorian, Tridentine, or Old Rite, and follows a calendar often different from the Ordinary Form of the Mass. It is celebrated in the Latin language, though the readings are often repeated in the vernacular.
