New Cleveland Latin Mass Community Thrives at Historic St. Elizabeth Shrine on Buckeye

 



The Institute of Christ the King Sovereign Priest (ICKSP), a society of apostolic life within the Roman Catholic Church, is renowned for its commitment to the traditional Latin liturgy and the sanctification of priests. On October 1, 2023, the ICKSP arrived in Cleveland with the official opening of the St. Elizabeth of Hungary Shrine, celebrated with an inaugural Traditional Latin Mass. Since then, the Buckeye neighborhood has seen a surge of activity, and this Lenten season, the community has truly taken flight.
