MAP DETAILS

All Forms of the Mass are Included in this List.

(Ordinary Form, Extraordinary Form, Ordinariate, Dominican, Byzantine, Etc.)

The Reverent Catholic Mass list has been compiled using a criteria method based on indicators found on each Church’s website or in their bulletin. All Churches included must have at least 3 indicators. These indicators signal that this parish is Christ centered, prioritizes the Mass, and is willing to courageously teach the full teaching of the Catholic Faith. There are also indicators that will disqualify a Church from being listed. The indicators are listed below.

Disclaimer

The methodology used to compile this list does not guarantee your satisfaction when attending a Mass from a church listed at Reverent Catholic Mass. This is not an exact science. We advise doing your own research if you choose to visit a parish for Mass.
