Let me clarify an apparent misunderstanding. The Traditional Latin Mass has indeed been offered in the Archdiocese of Boston, for over 17 years.
It was offered at Holy Trinity Church in Boston from 1991 until April 2007, when it was moved to Mary Immaculate Church in Newton (a suburb west of Boston).
The city of Boston has been without the Traditional Mass for only eight months; a loss for people without cars, but otherwise not a major obstacle.
Now Holy Trinity parish has permission to offer the Traditional Latin Mass publicly again, so there will be two weekly Extraordinary Form Masses in the Archdiocese. However, this may be only a short-term permission: Holy Trinity is still intended for closure, and has been placed under the administration of the neighboring cathedral parish.
