This site is dedicated to cherishing and fostering the Catholic Faith and the Church's treasures of worship and culture in the greater Memphis metropolitan area, particularly through the celebration of the traditional Roman Mass, an immemorial custom received by the faithful and further confirmed in Saint Pius V's Quo Primum. For millennia the traditional Roman Mass has been the fount that nourished the martyrs, confessors, and saints who fought the good fight, ran the race, and kept the Faith.
This site is dedicated to preserving and treasuring that unbroken line. This site hopes to: 1. Support the regular celebration and growth of the traditional Roman Mass (Mass of Ages, Gregorian Rite, Traditional Latin Mass, usus antiquior, vetus ordo) and other traditional liturgical practices and devotions in West Tennessee and the greater Memphis metropolitan area. 2. Provide opportunities for the Catholic faithful to gain deeper knowledge of, and fruitfully participate and assist in, traditional Catholic worship and practices, discovering anew the holiness and beauty of the traditional Roman Mass. 3. Support the Schola Cantorum of St. Gregory the Great that is dedicated to the performance of Gregorian plainchant and sacred polyphony. (See our Schola page!)

The sacred liturgy is, consequently, the public worship which our Redeemer as Head of the Church renders to the Father, as well as the worship which the community of the faithful renders to its Founder, and through Him to the heavenly Father. It is, in short, the worship rendered by the Mystical Body of Christ in the entirety of its Head and members.
Pope Pius XII, Mediator Dei n. 20.
