About the Official Traditional Catholic Directory

The Official Traditional Catholic Directory has been issued in paperback since 1994 and only as an eBook since 2006, in the universal and free Adobe Acrobat PDF format. This format allows the Registry to revise the Directory monthly instead of annually. The Directory is free as of 2024, but if you wish to support the continued publication of the Directory, you may mail donations by cash, check, or (international) money order to the Confraternity of St. Michael, 21128 Baker Road, Castro Valley, CA 94546, USA. You can obtain a printed copy for your own personal use, if you wish, by printing out the PDF file. In accordance with copyright restrictions, the digital text cannot be copied.

About the National Registry of Traditional Latin Masses

PLEASE SEND LISTING UPDATES TO THE NATIONAL REGISTRY OF TRADITIONAL LATIN MASSES (registry@traditio.com), AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION SEPARATE FROM THE TRADITIO NETWORK.

The National Registry of Traditional Latin Masses (registry@traditio.com), in operation since 1994, maintains the only complete list, by sponsoring organization (distinguishing which are valid and which are invalid), of the approximately 800 Traditional Catholic Latin Masses in the pre-Vatican II Roman Rite, regularly and publicly celebrated in North America, as well as contacts for Mass sites outside North America. It also maintains a list of traditional Catholic periodicals, suppliers, organizations, seminaries, religious orders, lay societies, retreats, schooling, and a necrology of traditional Catholic priests.

The Registry publishes its listings in the more than 225-page Official Traditional Catholic Directory annually, as well as monthly revised editions. About one-third of the information changes each year, so previous annual editions are obsolete and may cause substantial inconvenience if the outdated information is relied upon. This indispensable book for the traditional Catholic includes:

1. the only comprehensive list by sponsoring organization of the approximately 800 Traditional Latin Masses in the perpetually-approved pre-Vatican II Roman Rite, regularly and publicly celebrated in North America (distinguishing which are valid and which are invalid)
2. contacts for Traditional Latin Mass sites outside North America and in Rome
3. the most complete list of suppliers for everything that is traditionally Catholic: artwork, audiotapes, Bibles, books, church and chapel supplies, devotional items, Gregorian Masses, liturgical calendars, medals, monstrances, music, scapulars, stationery, traditional incense and communion breads, software, statues, veils, vestments, videotapes, and much more
4. complete lists and contact information for traditional Catholic periodicals, organizations, seminaries, religious orders, lay societies, retreats, and schooling
5. general information and documents on traditional liturgy and practice, such as Quo Primum, De Defectibus, traditional fast and abstinence, indulgences, a warning against "pseudo-traditional" services, and more
6. a necrology of traditional Catholic priests
