Traditional Latin Masses in his Georgia diocese will end in May 2023 at the Vatican’s request

Traditional Latin Masses in his Georgia diocese will end in May 2023 at the Vatican’s request, according to Bishop Stephen D. Parkes of Savannah.

The bishop claimed that he had asked the Vatican’s Dicastery for Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments for permission for parishes in his diocese to celebrate Mass using the 1962 Roman Missal.

Rome replied that one parish may do so weekly and three parishes may do so monthly until May 20, 2023, the bishop said.

“I am appreciative to the Dicastery for approving the aforementioned permits so that Masses conducted in accordance with the Missale Romanum of 1962 may be held for an additional calendar year.

I have attended Masses celebrated using this Missal since being installed as your bishop, and I am aware of the reverence and beauty of these liturgies,” Parkes said in a statement.

“I am also aware that many of the faithful in our Diocese will find it difficult when these Masses eventually end. Know that you are on my pastoral mind.

As part of the diocese’s following of the Vatican’s directives, Parkes announced that the Traditional Latin Mass would no longer be celebrated in Savannah’s Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist beginning on August 7.

He said that on Sundays, this Mass may be said in the Sacred Heart parish as an alternative.

I have no doubt that Sacred Heart Parish offers a suitable and private setting for worship, and the parish administration will pay close attention to the pastoral requirements of people who attend the parish’s 1 p.m. Mass, the priest declared.

One day prior to the anniversary of Traditionis custodes, a motu proprio that severely restricted the celebration of Mass using the 1962 Roman Missal, also known as the extraordinary form of the Roman Rite, the Tridentine Mass, and the Traditional Latin Mass, the Georgia bishop made his announcement.

Cardinal Blase Cupich is anticipated to impose additional limitations on the Traditional Latin Mass in the Archdiocese of Chicago on August 1 by removing the faculties of the priests connected to the Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP), according to Catholic World News on July 18.
