Juventutem Niteroi (based in Niteroi, the city across the bay from Rio) sends us the link to the program of Traditional masses and activities in Rio de Janeiro during World Youth Day, all based in the former Cathedral of the city - Igreja de Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo da Antiga Sé (Our Lady of Mount Carmel of the Ancient See - address), under the guidance of the Apostolic Administration St. John Mary Vianney.
If you know young men and women going to Rio, especially those who may not have experienced a traditional mass before, or priests who are going to World Youth Day for any reason, please keep them informed of these activities.

Another reader informs us that the side altars of the Church are ready to be used for Low Masses by all priests willing to do so - minor details of vestments and other items could be arranged with the staff that will be present there. Confessions will be widely available there and certainly Low Masses will also be available on the days preceding and following the main days, as well as public liturgical hours - there should be more information on the spot.
