FSSP Apostolate in the Diocese of Providence

Why Catholic?

The world out there has really gotten crazy lately. It's as if everything was built on a foundation of sand. The Catholic Church is built on a ROCK. That rock is Jesus.

Welcome to our new pastor:

The new pastor of St. Mary’s, Fr. Romanoski, will be arriving on Friday, Nov. 26th.
He was ordained a priest for the FSSP in 2008. After his ordination, he
spent many years in Guadalajara helping to establish our first FSSP
apostolate in Mexico. More recently, he has served as pastor of the FSSP
apostolate in Naples, Florida, in the diocese of Venice. He looks
forward to meeting all of the parishioners.

ABOUT US

A Church That Embraces Our Heritage

St. Mary’s Church is a Traditional Latin Mass Parish in the Diocese of Providence, Rhode Island.  One of our state’s most historic parishes, St. Mary’s was erected in 1853. The current Gothic church, built of Westerly Granite, was completed in 1869 and consecrated on June 7, 1901.

On its centenary in 1953, Bishop Russell McVinney described St. Mary’s as an “illustrious and venerable parish, that bespeaks the vibrant dynamic faith of the Catholics of this area. St. Mary’s is venerable not so much for its centenary of life, as for its distinguished record of Catholic loyalty and devotedness.  It is illustrious indeed for the stalwart faith of its people.”

In 2018, His Excellency Thomas J. Tobin, Bishop of Providence entrusted the care of St. Mary’s to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP) to establish a Traditional Latin Mass Parish for the faithful in Rhode Island and the surrounding areas.  All Masses and Sacraments are offered in accordance with the liturgical books of 1962, as expressed in the Motu Proprio Summorum Pontificum of Pope Benedict XVI.

A full parochial life with catechism, sacramental preparation, devotions, and groups of formation for the youth is offered at St. Mary’s, we live in the hope that one day, by the grace of God, we will closely resemble the description of the parish given just sixty-five years ago.
