Catholic Mass of the Congregation of Saint Athanasius at Holy Trinity Catholic Church

This is a Catholic Mass celebrated according to the Catholic Divine Worship Missal, promulgated in 2015 by Cardinal Sarah, under Pope Benedict's Apostolic Constitution Anglicanorum Coetibus for use in the Ordinariates.

The Congregation is a pastoral provision parish of the Archdiocese of Boston. It began life in 1994 in Brookline and West Roxbury, and more recently was temporarily located at Austin Prep in Reading, where its current pastor works as high school chaplain.
Pastoral Provision parishes were the 1980s and 1990s predecessors to the Ordinariate parishes. After Pope Benedict established the Ordinariates in 2010, all other pastoral provision parishes in the United States either closed or joined the Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter.
The Congregation of Saint Athanasius accompanied its original 1994 membership into the Catholic Church but did not join the Ordinariate. Now that the original pastor has retired and was replaced in 2024, the parish goals have changed, and a successful trajectory to be a large and vibrant parish is underway with this exciting move to Lowell.
