HOLY CROSS chaplaincy

Holy Cross Chaplaincy, under the care of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP), in the diocese of Fresno was established for the celebration of the Traditional Latin Liturgy.  We are grateful to The Most Rev. Bishop Armando Xavier Ochoa for welcoming us to the Diocese of Fresno in 2017.  

The Traditional Latin Mass, also known as the Usus Antiquior or the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, is the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church which was in widespread use before the New Order of Mass was introduced in 1969. This Liturgy includes the Mass, the Sacraments, various rites of blessing and more. 

Catholics in our community are blessed with the opportunity to participate in the traditional liturgy. They receive pastoral care rooted in longstanding customs and engage deeply with the Church's perennial teachings. These resources provide spiritual nourishment and a strong sense of connection to the rich heritage of our Catholic faith.
