Una Voce of Western Washington is group of faithful Roman Catholics who share the common and single goal of establishing Latin Masses, according to the 1962 Missal, in the Seattle archdiocese. We have been in existence for over a decade and became affiliated with Una Voce America as an original charter group in 1997. [more about us]

We believe that the Latin Mass is "the most beautiful thing this side of heaven." The Latin Liturgy is an excellent representation of the Catholic Church and has been a treasure beheld by an army of saints for almost two thousand years. [more about the Latin Mass]

The Most Reverend Archbishop Alexander J. Brunett has provided a weekly Tridentine Latin Mass, according to the 1962 Missal, every Sunday for Roman Catholics in the Archdiocese of Seattle. This Latin Mass is offered by Father James B. Reichmann, S.J. each Sunday, 9:30 AM at the St. Joseph Chapel (Josephinum residence, 1902 Second Avenue, Seattle [View Map]). Indult Latin Masses have been also approved by local bishops in eastern Washington (Tri-cities area), Oregon (Portland), and in British Columbia. [what you can do]
