The Tridentine Mass Society of the Diocese of Madison, a 501(c)3 non-profit association founded in 2007 and approved by Bishop Morlino, is a private association of Catholic faithful dedicated to the preservation of the “ancient form of the Roman rite” or Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite, using the missal of 1962. The Society consists of lay Catholics drawn from every age group and walk of life who are “strongly attached to this usage of the Roman Rite,” and who reside in the Diocese of Madison. The Society welcomes priests and religious who have great love and affection for this earlier liturgical form and would like remain faithful to tradition.

The goal of the Society is:

• Assisting in the celebration and enhancing the Extraordinary Form in the Diocese of Madison, such as the Mass and other liturgical celebrations as Vespers.
• Reaching out and providing support to other parishes in the Diocese of Madison, which are interested in celebrating it.
• Providing catechesis and education to those who want to know more about the usus antiquior and learn how to attend a Traditional Latin Mass.

A new TLM for the diocese of Madison!

Thanks to the generosity and initiative of Fr. Drew Olson, Janesville now has a weekly Traditional Mass (Missa Cantata).

Mass is at 10:30 AM at St. Patrick’s Church, 315 Cherry Street in Janesville.

Note that due to an existing parish conflict, there will not be a TLM on the first Sundays of the month

Nevertheless steps should be taken so that the faithful may also be able to say or to sing together in Latin those parts of the Ordinary of the Mass which pertain to them.

Vatican II Constitution on the Liturgy Sacrosanctum concilium 54 (emphasis added)

For those new to (or intimidated by) the demands of Holy Mass celebrated in song, the congregational responses are the easiest way to enter into this habit that Mother Church ardently desires for both the glorification of God and the good of her children.

The responses below are listed in the order in which they are uttered during Holy Mass.

• At the Collect
  • Et cum spíritu tuo.
  • Amen.
• At the Gospel
  • Et cum spíritu tuo.
  • Glória tibi, Dómine.
• At the Offertory
• At the Preface
  • Amen.
  • Et cum spíritu tuo.
  • Habémus ad Dóminum.
  • Dignum et justum est.
• After the Consecration
• After the Lord’s Prayer
  • Sed líbera nos a malo.
  • Amen.
  • Et cum spíritu tuo.
• Before Communion
  • Dómine, non sum dignus…^* (three times)
• After Communion
• At the Dismissal
  • Et cum spíritu tuo.
  • Deo grátias.
  • Amen.*
• At the Last Gospel
  • Et cum spíritu tuo.^*
  • Glória tibi, Dómine.^*
  • Deo grátias.^*

^*Spoken, even during Sung Masses.

Ordinary of Holy Mass

The melodies of four of the movements of the Ordinary of Holy Mass—that is, the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei—ideally change according to the season or feast. As the differing colors of the vestments of the Priest, Deacon, and Subdeacon, etc., visually call attention to the season or feast, the variety of the melodies of the chants aurally call attention to the season or feast.

Below are the melodies employed at the Traditional Latin Mass as celebrated at St. Mary of Pine Bluff and at the Bishop O’Connor Center.

• [mp3, pdf] Asperges me I

After the sprinkling, the following responses are sung by the congregation:

• Amen.

The 7:30 AM Sunday Mass at St. Mary of Pine Bluff is treated as a principal Mass.
