Weekly Detroit / Windsor Tridentine Community News

Since 1991, the Windsor/Detroit Tridentine Mass Association has worked to promote the Tridentine Latin Mass in the Detroit metropolitan area. A Private Association of the Faithful, the WDTMA was founded to administer the Diocese of London, Ontario’s Tridentine Mass, currently held at Assumption Church in Windsor. The WDTMA occasionally organizes special Masses at Assumption Church featuring prominent celebrants from the worldwide Latin Mass movement, such as Fr. George Gabet, FSSP and the late Fr. John Mole, OMI. Its members now also help to promote St. Josaphat’s Tridentine Mass. For more information, please call (248) 250-2740, or e-mail: info@detroitlatinmass.org.

The Assumption Church and St. Josaphat Tridentine Communities jointly produce a weekly page of news about the Latin Mass world. These news pages are distributed after Mass, and are also available in PDF format below.
