For those who use the Registry, perhaps you'd like to know about how it's set up:
The National Registry of Traditional Latin Masses (registry@traditio.com), in operation since 1994, maintains the only complete list, by sponsoring organization, of the approximately 700 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 200-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information changes each year, so previous annual editions are obsolete and may cause substantial inconvenience if the outdated information is relied upon.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:
the only comprehensive list by sponsoring organization of the approximately 700 Traditional Latin Masses in the
perpetually-approved pre-Vatican II Roman Rite, regularly and publicly celebrated in North America
contacts for Traditional Latin Mass sites outside North America and in Rome
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
complete lists and contact information for traditional Catholic periodicals, organizations, seminaries, religious orders, lay societies, retreats, and schooling
general information and docuмents on traditional liturgy and practice, such as
Quo Primum, De Defectibus, traditional fast and abstinence, indulgences, a warning against "pseudo-traditional" services, and more
a necrology of traditional Catholic priests
Those who have paid the Annual Use Price to use the previous year's Original Edition and Monthly Revised Editions must pay the Annual Use Price for the current year, if they wish to use the current year's Original Edition and Monthly Revised Editions.
The Official Traditional Catholic Directory is issued since 2006 as an eBook in Adobe Acrobat PDF format, not in paperback.
