More than a generation ago the Latin language disappeared from nearly all Catholic parishes. But on May 29 St. Martin de Porres Church in Boulder will celebrate the first anniversary of its monthly Latin Mass.More.
“We’re celebrating our first year offering a service most Catholics thought impossible,” said St. Martin’s pastor, Father Hermanagild Jayachandra. “Catholics from all over Boulder County and beyond have been attracted to the Mass.”
The liturgy, offered the last Sunday of each month at 10:30 a.m., is a Latin version of the Novus Ordo Mass, a format adopted in the 1970s by the Second Vatican Council and used daily in Catholic parishes worldwide. However, said Father Jayachandra, the language of each country is used instead of Latin, “causing most Catholics to believe that Latin was outlawed by the council.”
