Latin Mass in Rome: Traditional Mass Churches and Times

Looking for a Traditional Latin Mass in Rome? Start with Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini, served by the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter, and the Institute of Christ the King’s Rome apostolate, whose published services are currently at the Immacolata dei Miracoli. The SSPX also publishes a timetable for its chapel in Via Urbana. At Sant’Anna al Laterano, Crucis Tours has locally confirmed Sunday Mass at 16:00. Other churches often included in Rome Latin Mass lists need a fresh check before you plan around them.

Sources checked: . The timetable combines church-published schedules with local confirmation by Crucis Tours for Sant’Anna al Laterano. Consult the linked parish notices before travelling, especially around summer holidays, Holy Week, major feasts and building works. All times are local Rome time.

Latin Mass and Traditional Latin Mass: the distinction

Latin describes a language; it does not by itself identify the liturgical books being used. A Mass celebrated according to the current Roman Missal can be in Latin. The Traditional Latin Mass, often called the Tridentine Mass or TLM, refers here to the older Roman liturgy associated with the 1962 Missal. The older Dominican rite is a separate liturgical tradition: a Dominican church or a Latin-language celebration does not automatically mean that rite is being used.

This guide therefore separates published or locally confirmed traditional Mass schedules from churches where the present language or rite still needs confirmation. An earlier special celebration is not evidence of a recurring service.

Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini — FSSP

The Church of the Santissima Trinità dei Pellegrini offering Latin Mass in Rome

Location: Piazza della Trinità dei Pellegrini, near Campo de’ Fiori. The parish address is Via dei Pettinari 36/A, 00186 Rome.

The FSSP parish website publishes Mass at 07:15 and 18:30 from Monday to Saturday. On Sundays and holy days of obligation it lists Mass at 09:00, 11:00 and 18:30.

The summer 2026 notice confirms those times and announces that the normal programme resumes on Sunday 13 September. Check future seasonal notices when choosing a later date. A Latin liturgy does not guarantee an English homily, so visitors who need a particular language should ask the parish directly.

Santi Celso e Giuliano — restoration and temporary arrangements

The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest, also abbreviated ICRSS or ICKSP, celebrates the traditional Roman liturgy according to the 1962 books. Its official Rome page currently directs worshippers to the Immacolata dei Miracoli during restoration of Santi Celso e Giuliano.

We have not confirmed a reopening date. Do not rely on an older timetable for Santi Celso e Giuliano or a predicted completion season when deciding where to go. The apostolate’s current notices are the appropriate source for the venue.

Immacolata dei Miracoli — the published ICRSS location

Location: Via Sebastiano Veniero, near the Vatican Museums. The current Rome webpage gives number 3; its June bulletin gives number 1, 00192 Rome. Confirm the entrance when checking the service.

The apostolate’s published timetable lists sung Mass at 11:00 and Mass at 18:00 on Sundays and feasts, Mass at 18:00 Monday to Friday, and Mass at 11:00 on Saturday. Sunday Vespers are listed separately at 17:00: Vespers are not Mass.

These are the standing times displayed when this guide was checked. Restoration arrangements can change, so open the latest bulletin linked from the Rome page before setting out.

San Giovanni Battista dei Fiorentini — check before using older listings

Location: Piazza dell’Oro 1, 00186 Rome.

This basilica previously hosted the Institute’s temporary celebrations. However, the official bulletin for 21–28 June 2026 announced that all activities would move to the Immacolata dei Miracoli from 28 June because of works at San Giovanni dei Fiorentini. It also announced suspension of the 07:30 Mass until September.

That wording does not establish that services have resumed. We have not verified a September resumption notice, so the former Sunday 08:30 and weekday 07:30 times are not presented here as current services.

Cappella Santa Caterina da Siena — SSPX

Location: Via Urbana 85, 00184 Rome, in Monti.

The Society of Saint Pius X’s official Italian directory lists its chapel’s Masses at 09:00 and 11:00 on Sundays and feast days, and at 18:30 on Fridays, with exceptions during summer. This entry identifies the community responsible for the published schedule.

For the date of your visit, use the updates linked by that directory or telephone the listed community contact, +39 06 930 68 16. The chapel is distinct from other Roman churches dedicated to St Catherine.

Sant’Anna al Laterano — Sunday Traditional Latin Mass

Location: Via Merulana 177, 00185 Rome.

Sunday Traditional Latin Mass: 16:00 (4 pm). Confirmed locally by Crucis Tours on .

The Diocese of Rome directory lists Sant’Anna as an attached church at this address. For feast-day arrangements or exceptional changes, contact the church on +39 06 7000642 or segreteria@istitutofigliesanna.it.

St Mary Major — confirm Latin language and rite separately

Entrance: Piazza di Santa Maria Maggiore, 00185 Rome.

The basilica’s current official schedule lists a 10:00 Mass at the papal altar in its Sunday/feast-day timetable, but does not specify its language. An older Vatican timetable describes the Sunday and feast-day 10:00 Canons’ Mass as Latin; that older language description needs reconfirmation.

It should not be treated as a confirmed recurring 1962 Mass. Ask the basilica’s sacristy about the language and rite for your date. For a guided visit separately from worship, our Salve Regina tour explores St Mary Major and the original icon of Our Lady of Perpetual Help at St Alphonsus.

San Clemente — no regular Latin timetable confirmed

Location: Via Labicana 95, 00184 Rome; the public entrance is in Piazza San Clemente.

The basilica’s regular Mass timetable explicitly describes its celebrations as Italian. We have not confirmed a current recurring Latin Mass or older Dominican-rite Mass. For a special celebration, consult the basilica directly. English-language confession availability should not be mistaken for an English Mass schedule.

Its Christian history remains a compelling part of a pilgrimage. Our St Clement’s Basilica and Rome Underground tour explores the basilica and its lower levels; worship and the guided visit are separate arrangements.

Planning your visit

Allow time to find the correct entrance and arrive before the scheduled start. Bring a bilingual missal if useful, follow local directions and keep sightseeing outside services. Check the actual feast-day or seasonal notice rather than assuming every week follows the usual timetable.

For a wider itinerary, explore our Seven Pilgrim Churches of Rome pilgrimage. A guided pilgrimage can be planned around independently confirmed worship times; booking a tour does not secure admission to a particular Mass.
