Mission Statement

The Latin Mass Society of the Hudson Valley is a lay movement devoted to
the organic restoration ​of traditional Catholic Latin liturgy in the Mid-Hudson Valley.

The traditional Latin Mass tells the truth about God and Man; with ineffable beauty softens our hearts and bends our rebel wills to
the gentle yoke of Christ; invokes God's infinite mercies for our manifold faults; lavishes upon us the grace flowing from the sacrifice
of the Cross to help make us holy and worthy participants in a Eucharistic banquet that binds us in a communion of love with Christ,
​and through Christ with each other.   

Hence, the Latin Mass Society is committed to the Latin Catholic tradition at the core of our Church's identity,
​the sacred nature of the liturgy as a pathway to holiness, and the organic restoration ​of the Latin Mass in the life of the Church.

Postcommunio for the 25th Sunday after Pentecost

Coelestibus, Domine, pasti deliciis:  quaesumus:  ut semper eadem, per quae veraciter vivimus, appetamus.

We have been fed, O Lord, with heavenly delights, and beseech Thee, that we may ever hunger after those things by which we truly live.
