Una Voce Savannah

 
(formerly known as)
(Savannah Coalition for the Support of the Tridentine Mass) 
We welcome you to our official website. Here we hope to provide a means of  communication for not only the  people of our community, but also for people  everywhere who are in support of the liturgical rite of the Tridentine Mass.

Our Mission 
 

       We, as members of  "Una Voce Savannah" .... believe that use of Latin in the Mass  and Sacraments is a unifying force,  needed by the Church in these days of confusion and widespread controversy.  

 It is the express will of Pope John Paul II,. that  "respect must everywhere be  shown   for  the  feelings  of  those  who  are  attached  to  the  Latin  liturgical tradition" (Ecclesia Dei, 6c)  not simply by theoretical assent to the lawfulness of the former rites but by a wide and generous response to requests for their celebration. His Holiness also said :  

"In this matter I ask for the support of the bishops and all those engaged in the pastoral ministry in the Church."  

 It is in this spirit,.  Una Voce Savannah, has petitioned our bishop,  his Excellency Kevin Boland,   Bishop of the Diocese of Savannah ,  for  permission  to  celebrate  the  Tridentine  Mass  on  a  regular  basis  at  a  central  location.     We  continue to collect signatures for this petition on a daily basis.  And,  as the support  for  the Mass  continues  to grow,  we ask all our members to keep this special intention in their daily prayers.  
 

We  believe  that  using  the  rites  which  were the form of  Catholic worship for over 1,500  years  will preserve  the traditional emphasis on the Mass as Sacrifice,   with its central teaching of transubstantiation.   This,  in turn,  will  help  reverse  the  decline  in  vocations....   By  introducing  the  Latin Mass  to our children,   they  will  be  imbued  from an early age with a sense of the sacred.  

Our members are dedicated to ensuring that the Roman Mass codified by St. Pius V,  is maintained  as  one  of  the  forms of eucharistic worship which are honored in universal liturgical  life,  and  to  restoring  the use of  Latin,  Gregorian Chant,  and  sacred polyphony  in Catholic liturgy.  
 

We Catholics possess a living heritage. We owe a duty to our posterity to transmit it in its  fullness, and as a living tradition....    This is not only the feeling of  Una Voce - Savannah,  it is the teaching of all the postconciliar Popes.
