Bishop Robert Brennan of Brooklyn has ordered an end to the Traditional Latin Mass at St Cecilia Church in New York.
The announcement was delivered to parishioners after Mass on 28 September and will take effect on 12 October.
The decision was presented as an enforcement of Traditionis custodes, the decree issued by Pope Francis in 2021 which placed the celebration of the older liturgy under the direct regulation of diocesan bishops.
No further explanation was given at the parish, but sources confirmed that the prohibition applies specifically to St Cecilia’s. Reports of the decision were first carried by Rorate Caeli. Neither the diocese nor the parish has yet issued a statement.
