Traditional Latin Masses

The links below are to pdf's with complete Tradtitional Latin Masses, i.e., the Ordinary of the Mass has the Proper (readings) for the Mass merged into it at the appropriate points. Latin and English texts are side-by-side. These Masses are intended for use at Holy Mass on a tablet or smart phone device (set on "Do not disturb"). There is no back-and-forth from Ordinary to Proper as in a typical hand missal. You simply scroll down the text. Font size is relatively large but may be increased by rotating the device to landscape mode or by "pinch to zoom" using two fingers on the screen. (If your tablet lacks internet access at church, just download the .pdf before you leave home.) NOTE: These .pdf's are not designed to be printed and have been secured from printing to preclude your having a printing problem.
