About LocalMass
LocalMass helps Catholics in the United States find Mass, confession, and adoration near them — and find the Mass that fits how they worship. Beyond times, we track how the liturgy is celebrated: the Traditional Latin Mass, ad orientem worship, communion rails, chant and polyphony, Latin in the Novus Ordo, languages, and Eastern Catholic liturgies.
Where the data comes from
- Church locations come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL) and from LocalMass users.
- Mass and confession times come from parish staff, parishioners, and OpenStreetMap. We never invent times.
- Liturgical details come from people who attend and from parish staff, combined by weighted agreement.
- City and ZIP code data come from the U.S. Census Bureau.
Catholic only
We list Catholic churches in full communion with the Bishop of Rome — Latin Rite parishes, Eastern Catholic churches, the Ordinariate, and communities such as the FSSP and the Institute of Christ the King. We list SSPX chapels with a clear label about their canonical status. We do not list sedevacantist or non-Catholic churches.
Always confirm
Schedules change for holidays, seasons, and clergy assignments. Each church page shows when its schedule was last confirmed. When in doubt, call the parish or check its bulletin.
