The End of the Traditional Mass at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception,Waterbury, CT

At least for the time being….

Twelve years ago, on November 18, 2007, this Society sponsored the first Traditional Mass in some forty years at the magnificent surroundings of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception – “the finest parish church in New England.” The Traditional Mass community of Waterbury has had its ups snd downs since then. Yet, the 6:00 PM Sunday Traditional Mass at Immaculate Conception continued up to the present. And now the Institute of Christ the King has inaugurated in Waterbury a complete Traditional parish at St. Patrick’s church. In one respect, it is the crowning achievement of twelve years’ efforts in keeping the Traditional Mass alive (preceded, I am told, by even earlier, less regular Traditional Masses in at least two other Waterbury parishes). Yet, for some reason, the establishment of a nearby Traditional parish means the end of the Traditional Mass at the Basilica.

From the bulletin of Immaculate Conception parish: Latin Extraordinary Form Mass moved to St. Patrick’s Waterbury effective 27 October 2019
at 10:30am.
