All are welcome to attend services. However, reception of Holy Communion at the Traditional Latin Mass is limited to baptized Traditional Catholics professing the Traditional Roman Catholic Faith, who are prepared to receive according to the traditional precepts of the Church. Holy Communion is administered only on the tongue and only when the communicant is kneeling (except where physical infirmity impedes). Admittance to the Oratory for services is at the discretion of the priest.
