Ad Altarae Dei: The Altars of St. Ann's

The high altar, dedicated to our patroness St. Ann, rises 32 feet and includes 153 lights. Complete with 6 statues and 5 reliefs, it also includes the tabernacle (which unlike most churches today still holds the Blessed Sacrament) and above that, behind the two angel-doors, a throne or special receptacle in which the monstrance is placed when opened.

The Blessed Virgin's altar has 3 statues (Mary, St. Cecilia, and St. Rose of Lima and statues) and 1 relief.

St. Joseph's altar has 1 statue and 5 reliefs.

All altars are original, hand-carved from wood, and completely doweled.

We had a Requiem Mass for all deceased Parishioners in September 2008, but the Extraordinary Form isn't offered regularly at St. Ann's, no.

Do they offer the traditional Tridentine Latin mass at this church also?
