Traditional Latin Mass

The Traditional Latin Mass, also called the Tridentine Mass, is an ancient form of Catholic worship that uses Latin as its liturgical language. Celebrated mostly by older styles within the Church, it emphasizes reverence, tradition, and meticulous rituals, with the priest facing the altar and often speaking or singing in Latin. This form preserves practices from before the 1960s reforms of the Second Vatican Council, offering a sense of continuity with historical Catholic worship. While less common today, it remains meaningful for many believers who value its solemnity, artistry, and deep sense of tradition.
