Notre Dame Center for Liturgy The 1962 Missal and the Extraordinary Form of the Mass On January 2, 2008, Bishop Martin Amos sent a letter and survey form to the priests of the Diocese asking for their help in determining the level of interest in the Tridentine Mass. Noting that the Holy Father has relaxed the restrictions on using the 1962 Missal as a way to foster reconciliation in the Church, Bishop Amos also emphasized that “[t]he rightful desire of some of the faithful to celebrate according to these rites must be balanced against the Holy Father’s insistence that the unity and normal pastoral care of parishes is not to be disturbed; the ordinary form of the Mass must continue to be made available.” This way, the introduction of the 1962 Mass into the Diocese can be done as a part of overall pastoral planning, taking both the needs of the faithful and available resources into consideration. Click here to access diocesan policy regarding the implementation of Summorum pontificum. The policy includes a listing of parishes in neighboring dioceses that offer the extraordinary form of the Mass.
