SUNG LATIN MASSES IN TORONTO FOR ADVENT 2018

The Toronto Traditional Mass Society is organising three Latin Masses according to the Roman Missal of 1962. All three are at St. Mary's Polish Roman Catholic Church on Davenport Road in Toronto. While parking is always difficult at St. Mary's all three of these are on Saturdays making parking a lot easier.

IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

We begin on Saturday, December 8 at 9:00AM with the Feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Holy Family will have a Read Mass at 8:30AM and St. Lawrence the Martyr at 10:00AM. The Latin Mass is offered every Saturday at 9:00AM at St. Mary's except for the First Saturday of the month. This will be the only Sung Mass of the three.

 

RORATE MASS

On Saturday, December 15, the Votive Mass of Our Lady In Advent, also known as the Rorate Mass from the first word of the Introit will be offered at 7:00AM. Tradition is that the Mass begins in the early morning hours before dawn and ends as the sun breaks, from darkness into light.

EMBER SATURDAY OF ADVENT

Finally, on Saturday, December 22 at 9:00AM, the Mass will be for the Ember Saturday in Advent with its multiple prophetic Lessons and Graduals and the Canticle of the Three Children.

As a note, a Sung Mass will be held at 9:00AM on the Second Day of Christmas for the Feast of the Protomartyr, St. Stephen.
