St. Paul, Minnesota Archbishop Bernard Hebda of St. Paul and Minneapolis said July 16 that, for now, parishes that celebrate Mass in the extraordinary form also known as the traditional Latin Mass or Tridentine Mass should stick to the status quo.
Hebda has formed a task force to review Pope Francis new law to place greater oversight on the use of that form of the Mass.

Father Jason Tyler at St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Fayetteville says he’s excited to see things moving forward. Still, he himself will continue to wear a mask and has heard differing opinions throughout the church as they approach the weekend.
“There are some who are relieved even excited about the change, and there are others who are a little more cautious and concerned, and that’s why at St. Joseph’s we re going to keep our 11:30 a.m. mass mask required for those who are a little more concerned, and then the others will be optional but recommended.”
