Welcome

DISCOVER

The Traditional Latin Mass community of Middle Tennessee

Assumption is a Diocesan parish located in the Germantown section of downtown Nashville. 

For many years now the Church of the Assumption has been home to Nashville's Traditional Latin Mass Community. Bishop Spalding has expressed his respect for all those who experience such profound spiritual fruit in the context of the Traditional Latin Mass and has assured them that their spiritual needs will continue to be met here in the Diocese of Nashville. He has designated the Church of the Assumption as a stably assigned location where the faithful may gather on any day of the year for the celebration of Mass according to the liturgical books in use prior to the reform of 1970 and has designated and appointed the Reverend S.B. Price, pastor of the Church of the Assumption, as his delegate entrusted with overseeing these celebrations and the pastoral care of these groups of the faithful. To this end, the Church of the Assumption has permission to celebrate the sacraments and sacramentals according to the Roman Ritual of the Usus Antiquior. 

However as a territorial parish, the Church of the Assumption also provides the faithful with access to the Mass and sacraments celebrated according to the liturgy promulgated by Saints Paul VI and John Paul II. 

We are also home to the Syro-Malabar Community of Nashville, who celebrate Mass according to the Indian Syro-Malabar Rite in the Malayalam language.

We believe this remarkable liturgical diversity is a great enrichment of the life of the church in Germantown.
