Cardinal Willem Eijk has said that the Traditional Latin Mass continues to attract significant spiritual interest, particularly among younger Catholics, after celebrating a pontifical High Mass on Laetare Sunday in Oss.
The Mass, held at the Church of the Immaculate Conception on March 15, marked the first time the Archbishop of Utrecht had celebrated a pontifical Mass according to the Tridentine rite. Reflecting on the occasion in an interview given to Father Marco Begato for MessainLatino, the cardinal said: “The Eucharistic celebration at the Grote Kerk in Oss was my first pontifical High Mass in the extraordinary form… I found it a very impressive and unforgettable experience. The church was filled with people praying devoutly. Most were young, and there were also many families.”
