Church of Assumption Closes for Safety Repairs

Nashville’s beloved Church of the Assumption, the only official parish in the diocese offering the Traditional Latin Mass, is closing its doors for at least three months due to urgent fire safety repairs needed on its historic tower. The church, which reopened its main sanctuary just months ago after tornado damage, now faces another disruption as its growing congregation seeks a new place to worship. Approved by Bishop Spalding under Vatican guidelines, this parish has become a vital haven for Traditional Latin Mass devotees — and the closure comes as a blow to a community that’s seen steady growth. Father Bede Price admits the difficulty of the decision, but remains hopeful the faithful will emerge stronger from this temporary trial. Completion of repairs remains uncertain, but safety is the top priority before services resume. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
