Praying the Breviary
Restoring Tradition
Keeping the Faith

A warm welcome to all our visitors.  If you’re looking for a way to reclaim your peace of mind in this morally confused world, nothing will bring greater spiritual comfort than a regular prayer life.   And there is no higher form of prayer than the Church’s Official Prayer—Holy Mass and the Divine Office.

Here at the Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula we’re committed to providing you with the complete and authentic texts of the Roman Missal and Breviary through our subscriptions to the traditional Mass and Divine Office.  Here we provide you with total flexibility to follow the Church’s Official Prayer as often and as closely as you like.  We strive to make sure you have access to a totally user-friendly layout that offers the complete daily Mass and Office in side-by-side Latin and English format.  You won’t be distracted by complicated rubrics or turning pages to find your place—it’s all there, laid out in full on a daily basis.

For those who seek a deeper commitment to the liturgical life, our Oblate program can guide you through the various options, so that you can schedule your prayer life according to your other personal daily commitments.

Our online bookstore offers a wealth of authentic Catholic titles in many different categories, enabling you to base your prayer on a more thorough knowledge of the God we serve.

I’m sure a quick browse through our pages will help answer any questions you may have, but if not, please don’t hesitate to email or call me.  I’ll be happy to help make this site a pleasant and worthwhile place for you to discover and explore the inexhaustible heights and depths of the traditional Roman Catholic Liturgy.

The Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula

Ask any Catholic today and they’ll tell you something foreign and dangerous has infiltrated the Church of Rome.  We’re faced with a simple choice—either submit to these forces or remain loyal to the faith and traditional worship revealed by Christ himself.

The Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula is a Catholic organization specifically dedicated to the preservation and restoration of the traditional Roman Catholic liturgy.

Archdiocese of Ribeirão Preto large size
THE LITURGY

The official prayer of the church

The Church’s official prayers are contained in the formally authenticated liturgical books used by the Catholic clergy, chiefly the Roman Missal and the Roman Breviary.  The Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula now provides the complete texts of both, in Latin and English, thus facilitating their use by the faithful.  Refusing the modernist reforms that started in the latter half of the twentieth century, the texts of the Holy Mass and Divine Office we provide on this website are faithful to the rubrics prescribed by Pope St. Pius X in 1911.

Join the Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula in preserving the authentic traditional liturgy so beloved of God and hated by the devil.   Pray the Mass and Divine Office daily and become a warrior of Christ, protecting and maintaining the Faith of our Fathers by means of our greatest weapon, that most sacred act of worship—the Official Prayer of the Church.

THE OBLATES

OBLATES OF THE GUILD

Do you feel as though God is calling you to a higher purpose in life?  Consider joining the Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula as an Oblate.

Our Oblates seek to lead a more perfect Christian life by following the Rule of the Guild of St. Peter ad Vincula, insofar as their circumstances of life permit.  Through their devotion to our Holy Mother Church and her traditional faith, worship, customs and values, they offer their daily liturgical prayers and penances as an oblation to God in reparation for their own sins and those of the whole world.
