THE LATIN MASS SOCIETY

The primary purpose of the charity is the promotion of the celebration of the Mass and all liturgical offices and services in the Roman Catholic Church in the rite codified by the Council of Trent and in a form no later than that published in 1962.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
This charity has received considerable income from legacies in recent years

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
