LISTING OF TRADITIONAL MASSES WHICH HAVE BEEN APPROVED BY LEGITIMATE AUTHORITY

REPUBLIC OF TURKEY

There are no traditional Latin Masses in Turkey. The Republic is part of the cultural home of the Melchite and Greek Uses of the Byzantine Rite and the Syrian and Maronite Uses of the Antiochene Rite and will be listed according to the divisions of all the rites present there and not just the Roman one.

Until more information becomes available to the site moderator, there will be no listing of Eastern Catholic masses in Lebanon. Following is a list of Eastern Catholic jurisdictions. There are every-Sunday traditional Masses in each of them.
