Upcoming Masses
Mass Schedules




  Welcome to the website of the Latin Mass Community North. In accordance with Pope Benedict XVI's Motu Proprio, “Summorum Pontificum,”  our purpose is to encourage the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass in the area north of Boston, Massachusetts and to inform those who wish to experience this “Extraordinary Form” of the places and times where it is celebrated.

We are firmly committed to the Roman Catholic Church and the authority of the Pope and the bishops united with the Supreme Pontiff of the Church.

We are in the process of arranging Masses in the North Shore and the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts and we ask that you visit this website periodically to keep informed.

Peabody - Candlemas (Feb. 2)

Fr. Van de Moortell will celebrate a Sung High Mass with Procession and Blessing of Candles for the Feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin Mary at 7:30 PM on Tuesday, February 2, 2010, at St. Adelaide Church, 708 Lowell St., Peabody.


Epiphany - Peabody - High Mass

A Sung High mass will be celebrated on the Feast of the Epiphany of our Lord, Wednesday, January 6, at 7:30 PM, at St. Adelaide Church, 708 Lowell St., Peabody.

All are invited to a collation downstairs after Mass.


Schedule for St. Monica's, Methuen

The following schedule is announced in the parish bulletin:

3rd Sundays, 1:30 PM
Every Wednesday, 7 PM

However, as a practical matter, all Masses in Methuen are subject to last-minute cancellation. We strongly encourage interested persons to contact the parish office at 978-683-1193 on the day of each Mass (or the weekday before) to find out the status.

Because of frequent last-minute announcements and cancellations, we are not able to provide regular status updates about Masses in Methuen via this web site. A volunteer has undertaken to attempt to post status information through our Yahoo! group.

Prayer Intentions

Thank you for those who joined in our 54-Day Rosary Novena for Lawrence.

Please continue to pray for this intention, and also for the courageous priests who are celebrating the Traditional Latin Mass, for the priests and seminarians who are learning to say the Traditional Latin Mass, for those who are thinking about learning, for traditional-minded men who are discerning vocations to the priesthood, and for all who are discerning a religious vocation.
