For the promotion and dissemination of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass in the Archdiocese of Malta and the Diocese of Gozo, as endorsed by the motu proprio Summorum Pontificum promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI (2007) and in the Instruction Universae Ecclesiae (2011). We adhere to the traditional Catholic motto: We are what you once were. We believe what you once believed. We worship as you once worshipped. If you were right then, we are right now. If we are wrong now, you were wrong then.

ReplyDeleteFollowing the press conference of 10th September, the Coetus Internationalis pro Summorum Pontificum wishes to announce a change of time for the Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite. The Mass will now take place in St. Peter's Basilica at 3 p.m. in the afternoon of Saturday 3rd November.
This change has been made to facilitate the celebration of the annual Mass for deceased members of the Sacred College of Cardinals by the Holy Father that morning. We are one with the Holy Father and we accept without question this change of time.
The International Federation Una Voce will be organising Masses and other events in Rome on 1st and 2nd November and all pilgrims are invited to participate.
Details of these events, together with details of all Masses in the Extraordinary Form in the City of Rome during the time of the pilgrimage, will be released on the official website of the Pilgrimage

by early October.
The Coetus Internationalis pro Summorum Pontificum invites all the faithful attached to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite to double their efforts to show their support for the Holy Father and his document Summorum Pontificum.
The Coetus Internationalis pro Summorum Pontificum invites all the faithful coming to Rome and those who can not come to join the Holy Father in prayer for the souls of the deceased Cardinals.
