Defending the Latin Mass

Defending Holy Priests

Organizing private chapels for the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM)

The Traditional Latin Mass is in danger. And we fight to save it. For this, we need your help.

The Traditional Latin Mass is our sacred liturgical inheritance, our living link with the past. We have a sacred duty as Roman Catholics to safeguard the Mass of the Ages from error and to pass it on pure and undefiled; in the form we have received it, to future generations.

The Latin Mass, a masterpiece of two millennia, has nourished thousands of Saints including the holy apostles, St. Peter and St. Paul.

The Traditional Latin Mass was codified by Pope Saint Pius V as the most perfect expression of the Catholic doctrine of the Holy Mass, to remain unchanged for all time.

But now, War Has Been Declared on the Latin Mass by Pope Francis

“Traditionis Custodes” and the "Rescriptum ex Audientia" issued by Pope Francis are brazen attempts to ban the Mass of the Ages. With financial support from faithful Catholics, we will not stand by and permit this tragedy to happen on our watch.

We are the Chicago, IL based tax-exempt 501(c)3 charitable organization that has been successfully raising funds for the legal defense of cancelled Catholic priests. We have been operating nationally for five (5) years since March, 2018.

Our new mission is to defend and preserve the Latin Mass by helping cancelled TLM communities continue to have access to the Traditional Mass and Sacraments. We will do this by linking these communities with priests who are able to offer private services.

Please pray for Pope Leo and all Church officials. Pray that the persecution of the Latin Mass will end.

Photo: A Solemn Latin Tridentine Mass is offered in one of the great Cathedrals of Europe, St. Paulus-Dom, in Munster, Germany, in the aftermath after World War II.

This photo calls to mind the on-going war against the Latin Mass being waged by Pope Francis and various Bishops.

We are witnessing a civil war taking place WITHIN the Holy Roman Catholic Church. Yet the Latin Mass will survive, as Our Lord assured us that the Gates of Hell would not persevere against the Church.

A Private Chapel

It is possible to build your own private Catholic chapel, for private devotions, but you would have to have ties to the rest of the Catholic church to have a priest come to celebrate Mass within your chapel
