Although many Catholics are quick to write off the Latin Mass, believing it died years ago, in Boulder Colorado, it’s experiencing something of a renaissance.
St. Martin de Porres Catholic Church, nestled under the foothills on the city’s south side, will celebrate its one-year anniversary of holding the once-a-month Mass, which has drawn attendees from around Boulder and Colorado.
According to parishoner Bob Tinder, the liturgy, which is offered on 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.”
Fr. Hermanagild Jayachandra, the church’s pastor, said that the Latin Mass came at the suggestion of lay members of the parish.
