What is your Liturgy like?

We get asked this questions all the time.

Old Catholic priests have many liturgical options available to them.

There is an Old Catholic Rite that was published 100 years ago. It is very similar to the Tridentine Rite, but is translated into English.

Some Old Catholic Priest say the Tridentine Rite in Latin, and some say what is known as the Novus Ordo, which is the common Roman Catholic Mass that was approved after the Second Vatican Council. It is the Mass you would experience at any Roman Catholic parish today.

Still others celebrate Mass from the Book of Common Prayer, which is the liturgy used by the Episcopal Church and the Worldwide Anglican Communion.

There are other rites in use as well. It really depends on the priest and his faith community and what they are comfortable. Prayer, any prayer, is pleasing to God, so we don't greatly restrict what Mass is said!
