Latin mass service.

[Diogo92]

Just one simple question: is the Cathedral still doing mass service in Latin?
I'm asking this because when I've done my first Camiño, the mass was in Spanish (no problem with that), but I would like to attend to a Latin mass.

Somebody told me that there was a Latin mass in Santiago, but I think that somebody gave me incorrect information.

They sing vespers in Latin at the monastery in Santo Domingo de Silos. Not quite a mass, but close.

Will appreciate to see that. I think that mass service in Latin in Portugal doesn't exist anymore.

The Canon's Mass at 9.30 am in the Cathedral starts with the Canon's singing Laudes in Latin and continues onto Mass with the parts of the Mass sung in Latin. However the spoken parts are in Spanish.

Similarly at the Pilgrims mass each day at 12 noon the parts of the Mass are usually sung in Latin.

Thank you very much It look's like I'll have to pass another extra day in Santiago next year.

We attended a Latin High Mass in the Cathedral at Pamplona, where we spent the night before taking the bus to St Jean Pied de Port to begin our Camino. However, it happened to be on the morning of August 15, the Feast of the Assumption, a special Holy Day in the Catholic Church. I'm not sure if it's done there on a regular basis otherwise.
Buen Camino,
Jim

Mass in Latin went out ages ago ( Vatican Council). Only Marcel-François Marie Lefebvre ( R.I.P.) and his followers continue to say the Mass in Latin.

Ondo Ibili !

Thousands of Latin Masses are celebrated all over the world every week, and not just by breakaway sects like Lefevre´s group. Latin Masses are still perfectly "legal" for Catholic priests and worshipers, if that is what they want. They´re usually called "Tridentine" Masses, and are attended by people who feel the "Novus Ordo" service instituted by Vatican 2 reforms stripped away the majesty of the old Mass.
Try googling "Latin Mass" and you will find all kinds of listings and info.
I have only ever heard Latin Mass in Spain at convents and monasteries, never in a parish setting. Spain is a real bastion of conservative Catholicism, so I know the Tridentines are out there... I guess I just never went looking for them.
Perhaps one of the several priests on this forum can help out?

Have you never heard of the Papal Encyclicals Ecclesia Dei and Summorum Pontificum ?

errr... his question was about Mass in Latin in the Cathedral

 

[Rebekah Scott]

So, Johnnie. Tell us. Is there a Latin Mass at the cathedral?

 

[JohnnieWalker]

Well, Rebekah it depends what you mean by "Latin Mass" ? If you mean Mass in the Extraordinary form then this is not available in the cathedral.

However all of the Masses in the Cathedral have the spoken parts in Castellano (Gallego on Saturday evenings) and many of the Masses have the sung parts (and occasionally the Pater Noster) in Latin.

Just to update this with the info that I now have -- there is exacttly one Latin Mass along the whole of the Camino Francès, on the Sunday morning at Pamplona Cathedral -- it is a diocesan TLM
