Listing of Traditional Latin Masses Which Have Been Approved Under Papal Authority.


-- REPUBLIC OF FINLAND --


There are no traditional latin masses in Finland.  An Hungarian priest established a Byzantine mission at Rekola, where the Byzantine Divine Liturgy used to be celebrated every Sunday.  This mission was eventually moved to Espoo to an œcumenical centre which was founded in 1964.  A Finnish Byzantine mass (In Old Slavonic) continues to be celebrated at this centre.  The Finnish Byzantine mission corresponds to the small Finnish Orthodox Church, to which about one per cent of Finns are attached.  Over ninety-five per cent of Finnish citizens are Lutherans.
