TRADITIONAL LATIN CATHOLIC MASS: EASTER SUNDAY
TRADITIONAL LATIN CATHOLIC MASS: EASTER SUNDAY, Traditional Latin Mass filmed on Easter Sunday in 1941 at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Chicago The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa Solemnis or Solemn High Mass in full detail with narration by then Mgr Fulton J Sheen Celebrated by Rev J R Keane of the Order of Servites hence the white habits and cowls the ceremonies are accompanied by a full polyphonic choir orchestra and fifty Gregorian Chanters The attention to detail in the ceremonies is impressive Notice for example how the servers and ministers always take great care to move in order Notice too that the servers are all almost identical in height The Ordinary of the Mass composed by Rev Edwin V Hoover while pleasant in places is very much a reflection of its time The Proper on the other hand is timeless and sung admirably by a healthy throng of Seminarians from Mundelein Illinois Unfortunately due to size restrictions at Youtube around 20 mins have been cut from the original however I hope to upload a full version somewhere soon In addition to the cuts I have added new captions and edited the opening credits which had deteriorated in the original Other than this the film remains largely unchanged Apologies for the error in the captions for the two parts of the Mass software The first part is of couse the Mass of the Catechumens the second is the Mass of the Faithful
