New Locations for Latin Mass

Dear Latin Mass Parishioners,

Annuntio vobis gaudium magnum! Bishop Persico has determined that the Latin Mass Community of the City of Erie will be given full use of St. Hedwig’s Church and the Latin Mass Community of Cambridge Springs be permitted to use St. Brigid Church in Meadville, effective on Sunday January 9, 2022. St. Hedwig’s Church is a mission church within St. Stanislaus Parish and St. Brigid Church is a mission church within Epiphany of the Lord Parish. Both are beautiful churches that are suited to the traditional liturgy.

Bishop Persico is hopeful that our community will benefit from these moves. He assures us of our stability at these new locations and wishes for us to make them our homes.

I am entrusting these moves to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and I am confident that he will use them for his glory. Be assured of my prayers.

In Christ,

Fr. Power

What is the Traditional Latin Mass

The Traditional Latin Mass refers to the way in which the Roman Catholic Mass was celebrated across the world until 1970. For centuries the Traditional Latin Mass inspired saints, nourished the souls of sinners, and converted nations to Jesus Christ.

Every minute detail of the Traditional Latin Mass is replete with symbolism and accompanied by prayer. It is this experience of worship which generations of saints have found as a most suitable way to follow the injunction of our Savior: “Do this in memory of me” (Luke 22:19).
