Traditional Mass at St. Mary’s in New Britain Cancelled

Posted by Stuart Chessman 

As of October 16th, 2011 the regularly scheduled weekly and Holy Day Mass in the Extraordinary Form at St. Mary’s in New Britain, CT has been cancelled. St. Mary’s has been home to the old Mass for four years and the community itself had been worshiping together using the traditional sacraments for over 20 years. The reason for the cancellation is for lack of priests able or willing to celebrate the ancient Mass. Archbishop Mansell has commended any of the parishioners of St. Mary’s attached to the traditional Mass to the parish of St. Peter in Hartford and to the pastoral care of Rev. Dairo Diaz. Father Diaz has been regularly celebrating the Extraordinary Form as a regular part of the parish Mass schedule for a year. Fr. Diaz welcomes those who attended Mass in New Britain and any other Catholics attached to the E.F. to become an active part of St. Peter’s parish. The Mass at St. Peter’s is currently celebrated at 7:30 am on Sundays. In an effort to make it easier for those who need to travel to Hartford for Mass, Fr. Dairo will be scheduling the E.F. Mass at a later hour in the morning come mid November. The time of Masses on Holy Days will vary.
