Liturgies and Rites

 

All Saints Anglo-Catholic Mission upholds a deep reverence for traditional liturgy and rites, reflecting the mission's commitment to the rich heritage of the Catholic faith. At the heart of the worship life is the Latin Rite Mass, which is primarily celebrated in a blend of Latin and English. This dual-language approach honors the universal nature of the Church while maintaining accessibility for the congregation. The use of Latin, in particular, highlights the timeless and sacred nature of the liturgical tradition.

In addition to the Mass, the Rituale Romanum is employed for various sacraments and ceremonies, such as baptisms, weddings, and the sacrament of reconciliation, ensuring that these rites are carried out with historical fidelity and reverence. This focus on traditional rites underscores the mission's belief in the importance of continuity with the past, preserving the sacred practices passed down through generations.

The Mass is also celebrated from the English Missal, a translation that reflects the liturgical language of the Church while adhering to the structure and theology of the Latin Mass. This ensures that worship at All Saints remains connected to the universal Church's teachings and practices, while also providing the congregation with an English-language option for participation.

The Book of Common Prayer plays a central role in the daily spiritual life of the mission, with its rich prayers and devotions used for personal and communal worship. It is highly valued for its depth, beauty, and the tradition of Anglican spirituality. However, it is rarely used for Holy Communion, as the focus remains on the Latin Rite for the Eucharistic celebration.

In all, All Saints Anglo-Catholic Mission places a strong emphasis on liturgical tradition, seeking to express and deepen the faith of its members through a careful and reverent approach to worship, honoring the Church's ancient rites and the timeless beauty of its liturgies.

​

All Masses and services are celebrated in the private chapel of All Saints Anglo-Catholic Mission. Holy Mass is offered for all the faithful and the eternal church. We are currently unable to offer our church services in a church. House visits and masses can be requested and if enough people can bring up the cost of renting a room in future we will gladly offer our pastoral care.
