Traditional Latin Mass at West Point

Traditional Latin Mass Returns to West Point

“The serious tone, the precision of what was happening ... that was very powerful to me as a military man.”

‘Captain Shed, a 2008 West Point graduate, said he thinks military people especially recognize the solemnity conveyed by the traditional Mass. “And Mass being sacrifice it should be serious business.” He said he understands that the sacrifice is still wholly present in the ordinary form of the Mass and does not intend his appreciation of the traditional Mass as criticism of the newer rite. “But once I experienced the extraordinary form and prayed that, I was hooked.”

I second this.

They still offer a Latin mass at the church in Liberty Station, San Diego where the old Navy recruiting center was. 4pm. I haven’t been but I saw it posted on the sign outside. I think members of the military really appreciate the structure and solemnity of this old tradition. Tradition is absolutely strong in the military community.

Thank God for our military and their traditions.
