Welcome to the Rochester Latin Mass Community 

Are you looking for a Catholic Church in Rochester that is rooted in tradition and rich in history?

Then come and make your spiritual home the Latin Mass Community at St. Thomas the Apostle Church in Irondequoit on St. Paul Boulevard.

Our church offers the Ordinary Form of the Mass at 9am and the Extraordinary Form of the Mass at 11:15 every Sunday.

We are a rapidly growing community with one of the largest faith formation programs in the Diocese of Rochester, men and women's groups, Eucharistic adoration chapel, after-Mass social hours, a Latin Schola, summer Bible camps, special summer community events (picnics, children's reading hours and pilgrimages) and so much more!
