The Archdiocese of Detroit is blessed to have settings exclusively dedicated to the Traditional Latin Mass -- the most famous being the Saint Joseph Shrine. Thankfully, this one is safe.
However, the several other Traditional Masses celebrated in regular parishes, pursuant to the generous implementation of Summorum Pontificum, and kept by the generosity of Abp. Vigneron, are about to be abolished by the newly appointed Archbishop, Edward Weisenburger.
The news comes from the Facebook page of one of those parishes, Our Lady of the Scapular, in Wyandotte:
Pursuant to the order of "Traditionis custodes" decreed by Pope Francis in 2021, [concerning] the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, sometimes colloquially called the "Tridentine Mass," "Latin Mass," or the "Traditional Latin Mass," the Most Rev. Edward Weisenburger, Archbishop of Detroit, has declared that the [1962] liturgy and sacraments in all parish churches in the Archdiocese of Detroit will be banned as of July 1, 2025.
"Traditionis custodes" [restricts] the use of the liturgy, including the administration of Baptism, Confirmation, Matrimony, Penance, Extreme Unction, and Holy Orders.
Our Lady of the Scapular Parish will offer three final High Masses, as follows:
1) Wednesday, April 23 at 7:00pm, within the Octave of Easter and the Feast of St. Wojciech
2) Thursday, May 29, at 7:00pm - Solemnity of the Ascension
3) Thursday, June 19 at 7:00pm - Solemnity of Corpus Christi
Masses at the high altar and, upon request, in Latin according to the Mass of Paul VI will still be offered periodically. [source]
