promote within the Church in the United States the use of the Latin language in the Mass
of Pope Paul VI, according to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council, in order to
encourage the faithful to appreciate the unique theological, pastoral and spiritual qualities
of the Latin Mass.
Toward this end, the Foundation is devoted to the use of the great patrimony of sacred
music as envisioned by Sacrosanctum Concilium and to the preservation of the liturgical
tradition of the Latin Rite as codified in the Missale Romanum of 1979.
