Five cardinals and archbishops of the Catholic Church will celebrate pontifical liturgies in the traditional form of the Roman Rite during the coming weeks, both in Rome and in various cities in the United States, according to the National Catholic Register.
Celebrations in Rome
The Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, emeritus prefect of the Supreme Tribunal of the Apostolic Signatura, will preside over a solemn pontifical Mass in the Basilica of Saint Peter on the upcoming October 25, as part of the Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage. This annual gathering brings together priests and faithful who habitually participate in the traditional liturgy.
One day earlier, the Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, Archbishop of Bologna and president of the Italian Episcopal Conference, will celebrate solemn Vespers in the basilica of San Lorenzo in Damaso, also in Rome.
Celebrations in the United States
In the United States, the Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone of San Francisco will officiate a traditional pontifical Mass on November 1, the solemnity of All Saints, in the Star of the Sea parish.
The Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, emeritus prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, will celebrate a solemn Mass on November 2, the commemoration of the Faithful Departed, in the parish of Our Lady of Lourdes in Philadelphia.
The cycle of celebrations will conclude with the Cardinal Robert Sarah, emeritus prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, who will preside over pontifical Vespers on November 21 in the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul, also in Philadelphia.
Context
These liturgies coincide with the annual celebration of the Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage, organized in Rome since 2012, and with the growing interest of groups of faithful in participating in the traditional form of the Roman Rite, commonly known as the Tridentine Mass or Latin Mass.
The full calendar of celebrations was confirmed by the organizers and the dioceses involved. Each of the ceremonies will feature the attendance of faithful and choirs specialized in traditional sacred music.
