Their is a pilgrim mass in English in one of the side chapels on I think Friday at 10amThey didn't when I attended a pilgrimsmass at 19.30h in September. Also thought numbers of pilgrims arriving last 24 hours would be mentioned. Didn't happen either. Maybe only at the 12.00h mass.
I know there are masses in English, but according to the official website of the Cathedral de Santiago the 12.00h and 19.30h masses are pilgrim's masses. I knew it would be in Spanish but I did expect some words about the pilgrim's who just arrived.Their is a pilgrim mass in English in one of the side chapels on I think Friday at 10am
The last two masses we went to we're multi lingual maybe we were lucky
Really?I know many of the Masses are in Spanish but officially they are to be done in Latin. Over the years we have heard them in English.
No.See earlier thread. Parts of Mass might be sung in Latin but spoken parts are always in Castellano and Gallego.Really?
Is that specific to the SdC Cathedral for some reason?
My parents and in-laws and all my aunts and uncles have long bemoaned the loss of Latin mass (and also made irreverent jokes about non-Latin speaking congregants not understanding commands said in the Latin mass).... but I don't know -- outside of Rome -- of Latin being the standard.
My question is sincere as this would be a really unique piece of official policy... AFAIK.

I was in the Santiago cathedral for the noon mass on Oct. 20, and the priest said a few words in various languages, but I can't say for sure it was a welcome, as English wasn't his first language. He also listed off, in Spanish, the many places that pilgrims hailed from in the previous day. I knew this because he said Estados Unidos and Puerto Rico, two places I knew that day's pilgrims hailed from.Do I remember well that priests in the pilgrimmass welcome pilgrims in several languages? I want to know this for sure for a camino story.
I think there may be a confusion/misunderstandings in this thread. There is a difference between Mass in Latin (afaik, it is not said in Latin anywhere but I would be happy to learn otherwise) and Latin Mass.Thank you to @oursonpolaire and @SabineP —- had you not stepped in to confirm, I’d have remained very confused at the thought that the mass in SdC is for some reason “traditionally to be done in Latin”.
