The Latin Mass?

In 1962, Pope St John XXIII opened the Second Vatican Council. In his opening speech, he spoke of the Church finding a new language to better engage the modern world. Soon, the liturgy was reformed so that the Mass could be celebrated in the vernacular with the priest facing the people. It might be wondered, then, why the pre-Vatican II Mass continues to be celebrated with growing interest, especially among young people.

Pope Benedict XVI noted that, “What earlier generations held as sacred, remains sacred and great for us too.” The Latin Mass is signified by sacred music including Gregorian Chant and polyphony, the engagement of the senses in full participation in prayer and worship, and a deep sense of reverence. For many Catholics, the Traditional Latin Mass is precisely the language that speaks to us and to the modern world.

Under the guidance of the Most Reverend Archbishop-elect Peter A. Comensoli, and with the provisions of Summorum Pontificum, the Arcadia parish has welcomed our community. Our chaplain is Father Yuhanna Azize. We encourage the faithful to participate in the liturgy under the principle of “actual participation” formulated in the Second Vatican Council.
