There are currently two Indult (Latin) Mass in the Knoxville diocese. Masses are celebrated on the first and third Sundays of the month in strict accordance with the Missal of Bl. John XXIII in 1962, at 3:00 p.m. at St. Therese Church in Cleveland.
Masses at St. John Neumann have been transferred to St. Therese Parish in Clinton..
Refer to the Cleveland Mass page for details, and the Cleveland Propers page for the propers of the day.

This site was established in order to provide the faithful of the Diocese of Knoxville who have a desire to worship in the "Mass of the Ages" with information concerning places and times of the traditional Mass available throughout the Knoxville diocese. Since the release of the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum, there have been instances where requests for the Forma Extraordinaria - the Latin Mass - have been refused. This is not what Pope Benedict XVI had in mind. It is hoped that our new bishop will show his faithfulness to te Holy Father and allow those of us who are committed to the Forma Extraordinaria wide and generous access to all the sacraments we so earnestly desire.

We invite you to join us at St. Therese of Lisieux Church Masses.

Several links are provided on this page for traditional Catholics as well as those who wish to learn more about the traditional Latin Mass. This page will be updated as time permits and as developments occur. If you have a comment please feel free to write to the address below.

Latin Masses according to the 1962 Missal in the U. S. A. can be found at Ecclesia Dei Org.

An excellent reference for the rubrics for the Latin Mass as well as other related information is at Sancta Missa.

Beautiful photos of the various Masses can be seen at: http://www.knoxlatinmass.net/gallery/gallery.htm. Our thanks go to Roy Ehman, who took the photographs and to Henry Edwards, on whose web site they are posted.
