The first Pontifical Low Mass in the Traditional Latin Rite in Guam since the liturgical reform after the Second Vatican Council was held at the Dulce Nombre de Maria cathedral basilica in Guam on January 19, 2020.

Archbishop Michael Jude Byrnes assisted in choir at the Pontifical Low Mass, celebrated by Bishop Athanasius Schneider.

Many faithful in Guam very much appreciated the pastoral solicitude of Archbishop Byrnes of having made possible the celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass at the Cathedral, offering thereby the occasion to the faithful of experiencing this liturgical treasure which was cherished by all previous generations of Catholics in Guam.
