Preserving the Catholic Faith of the Ages
At St. Benedict’s Traditional Roman Catholic Church, we observe only the traditional, pre-Vatican II, form of the mass and sacraments. We do this not out of disobedience, but because it is our obligation to preserve the deposit of faith as it was handed down to us. We welcome all visitors and encourage anyone who is curious about the Catholic faith or confused about the present crisis in the Church to speak with Father Trough, and visit our library and bookstore for many great resources!
“But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach a gospel to you besides that which we have preached to you, let him be anathema.” — Galatians 1:8

OUR LADY of the SNOWS, AUGUST 5
In honor of the miraculous snow fall in Rome on this day, in the heat of the Roman summer, snow fell on the Esquiline Hill. The Liberian Basilica was erected on this spot. Today this basilica is called “St. Mary at the Manger.”
