Welcome to our Tridentine Liturgy specialty store.

1962 Missal Resources

As of July 7, 2007, the Tridentine Mass (pre-Vatican II form of the liturgy) is being permitted on a wide scale again for the first time since the Council.

If you would like to read the text of Pope Benedict XVI's "Motu Propio" of July 7, which removes the previous restrictions on the venerable Latin liturgy of the pre-Vatican II Church, please click here.

The 1962 Missal is being called the Missal of Blessed Pope John XXIII since he was the pope who promulgated the final version of the Missal before Vatican II.

If you are in need of supplies for this liturgy, including Tridentine missals, music, Latin resources or Tridentine vestments, we are your best source.
