Corpus Christi Church, Tynong

Do you know why Corpus Christi Church, Tynong, is also known as Corpus Christi Priory & Church? It is a Mass Centre for the Society of Saint Pius X! This church is a part of the Society of Saint Pius X which is a group of Catholics that have traditionally held onto certain beliefs that some have diverged from the Catholic Church. The Society was founded by Archbisop Marcel Lefebvre, a man who wanted to hold onto the more traditional rituals of the Church. So the Church is a bit different than your average Catholic Church.
Let me explain! The Church is known for celebrating the Latin Mass. This traditional service is practiced in Latin, the language the Roman Catholic Church used for many centuries. The priest also faces the altar during the service, as opposed to facing the congregation.
The Church is a small and welcoming community that is passionate about preserving the traditional ways of the Catholic Church. They welcome everyone, regardless of denomination or background. If you happen to attend Mass, you might notice that people dress modestly and respectfully. Women are also encouraged to wear a veil for Mass.
If you want to learn more about the Society of Saint Pius X, or traditional Catholicism, the people at Corpus Christi Church are very welcoming and are happy to answer any questions. You can find the church on 15 Granite Lane in Tynong. So take some time to explore the church and learn about its rich history.
