Eminent among the Popes who showed such proper concern was Saint Gregory the Great, who sought to hand on to the new peoples of Europe both the Catholic Faith and the treasures of worship and culture amassed by the Romans in preceding centuries. He ordered that the form of the Sacred Liturgy, both of the Sacrifice of the Mass and the Divine Office, as celebrated in Rome, should be defined and preserved. He greatly encouraged those monks and nuns who, following the Rule of Saint Benedict, everywhere proclaimed the Gospel and illustrated by their lives the salutary provision of the Rule that “nothing is to be preferred to the work of God.” In this way the Sacred Liturgy, celebrated according to the Roman usage, enriched the faith and piety, as well as the culture, of numerous peoples. It is well known that in every century of the Christian era, the Church’s Latin liturgy in its various forms has inspired countless saints in their spiritual life, confirmed many peoples in the virtue of religion and enriched their devotion.

About

This site is dedicated to promoting and cherishing the Catholic Faith and the Church's treasures of worship and culture in West Tennessee and the greater Memphis metropolitan area, particularly through the celebration of the traditional Roman Mass, as recognized in the Apostolic Letter Summorum Pontificum of Pope Benedict XVI.

For millennia the traditional Roman Mass has been the fount that nourished the martyrs 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, Extraordinary Form) 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.
