CIEL UK

CIEL UK (Centre International d'Etudes Liturgiques - UK) is the British branch of CIEL, an international Roman Catholic society that is dedicated to scholarly analysis and pastoral familiarity of the traditional liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church (commonly referred to as the Tridentine Mass) within the English-speaking world, in collaboration with CIEL.

Each year CIEL UK organises an annual High Mass and conference in London and publishes English translations of the proceedings of the international CIEL Colloquia.
