Extremely well done. Good lighting. RC did their homework highlighting the focal points of the liturgy. Melkites are growing worldwide including Boston, NH and RI especially in CA. Takes time and money, Carol, to get full byzantine. Be patient! OLOC in Manchester, NH is a dynamic parish with strong youth group. Blessings on St. Sauveur. Fr. Roger Boucher
There was no Latin used! the priest dress, crown and decons dress is also not western but byzantine, definately.
The building may be western but I have seen Greek orthodox celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in an Anglican built church. The lack of head covering is a trend affecting not only Melekite but also Latin (as they also used to cover their heads) and also in the Greek orthodox chruch young girls/women have stopped covering their heads this is up to the priest to encourage.

NO head covering, men and women sit together, music sounds very western, no icons. latinization, latinization, westernization, modernization...so sad
