Mater Dei Latin Mass was founded on 01 January 2016 as an option for the Catholic faithful of the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie who seek to attend the Sacrifice of the Holy Mass in the Traditional Latin or Tridentine Rite (Extra-Ordinary Form).

All Masses and Sacraments are performed in the Latin Usus Antiquior of the Roman Rite, in accordance with the liturgical books of 1962, as expressed in Pope Benedict XVI’s Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum.

Father Vincenzo Fiore, a diocesan priest, is the full time pastor.
