St. Joseph Extraordinary Form , the only Mass in the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in the diocese is offered at the Carmelite Shrine in Munster on Saturday evenings. It was established on Saturday, August 25, 1990, at the recommendation of Bishop Norbert Gaughan. The Mass was featured in newspapers across the country when Summorum Pontificum was promulgated by Pope Benedict XVI. Previously, a Traditional Latin Mass was available at St. Stanislaus in Michigan City on Sundays, but this Mass was discontinued when the celebrant died. St. Joseph the Worker in Gary had a monthly Mass that was a hybrid of the Extraordinary and Ordinary Forms. In 2015, the NWI Latin Mass Community was founded by laity to support and promote the Extraordinary Form in the Gary Diocese, with the particular goals of offering Sunday morning and Holy Day Masses in the Extraordinary Form, as well as fostering parish life for those who are attached to the older form of the Mass. On January 1, 2018, a Solemn High Mass was offered at the Cathedral of the Holy Angels by Bishop Joseph Perry, auxiliary bishop for the Archdiocese of Chicago. In 2018, the Institute of Christ the King began an apostolate at St. Joseph parish in Hammond, offering the Extraordinary Form on a weekly basis. St. Joseph parish in Dyer also holds a monthly mass in the Extraordinary Form.
