PUBLIC Listings for Latin/EF Masses for Christmas/New Years 2015 Toronto and Other Archdioceses

Hello Everyone,

I was either lax or late to the game last year, so I will actually do this for 2015. As before, I make exception for the major Holy periods of the year, to expand coverage to include other dioceses of Ontario for the Latin Mass.

Please note that listed here are only those offerings that are 1) confirmed either in print or from trusted sources, 2) are those that are FORMALLY attached to a parish, as in announced on parish websites or on their print media (incl. PDF scans of bulletins.)

There likely are other offerings available in certain areas, but I am unable to acquire the information, as I am vilified by certain Radical Misrepresenting Traditionalist parties, have been told to never use anything of "theirs" including sharing Latin Mass times, and am blocked from their social media feeds. They have chosen close-mindedness and elitism over a unified goal to promote the Latin Mass and help in reforming the Church's liturgy in the Latin Rite, so I cannot help there. Don't bother asking who the parties are from me.

Regardless if you are in an area that does not have a listing, please inquire/do your own research to find out the times.

Also, should a Latin Mass be a vigil Mass, while liturgically it will use different readings, under current Church laws, it qualifies for the Holy Day Obligation. However for those of you "die-hard" traditionalists, the liturgy of the Nativity of our Lord is at Midnight onward the 25th December, this Friday. If at Midnight is it the "First Mass: At Midnight." If it is during the day hours, it will be "Third Mass: During the Day." Midnight Masses will be listed under the date of December 24th, 2015.

Here's what I can gather from public, available media sources.
