News from Mariawald: All Masses in the Extraordinary Form
Gregor Kollmorgen
The German Trappist Abbey of Mariawald, which last November had received the privilege conceded by the Holy Father of a complete return to the Liturgy and the Observance in use in the Order of Cistercians of the Strict Observance (Trappists) until 1963/64 and has been gradually implementing this return since (see previous posts here), has announced that now all Masses will be celebrated according to the usus antqiuior. This includes the liturgies of Holy Week.
