The Latin Mass Society of Ireland, founded in 1999, is an association of Catholic faithful dedicated to the preservation of the "ancient form of the Roman rite" as a legitimate usage of the Church's liturgy. The society is composed predominantly of lay members drawn from every age group and walk of life, but also includes a number of priests who minister to all who "continue to adhere with great love and affection to the earlier liturgical forms"
