Solemn High Mass, Midnight Christmas Day 2008 in Roxbury, WI. Father Faustino Ruiz was the celebrant with Father Miguel Galvez as the Deacon, Father John Del Priore as the Subdeacon and Father Jared Hood as the Master of Ceremonies.
Propers were from the Mass of St. Cecilia.
I absolutely love the old Mass. This Mass is beautiful. I wish it wasn't so hard to find. I guess the Mass itself doesn't matter (Ordinary Form vs. Extraordinary Form), but the reverence and old traditions (incense, chant, beautiful architecture, cassock and surplice, communion on the tongue kneeling, etc.) that makes the Mass truly beautiful and authentically Catholic. A Mass said to guitar and drums in a box of a church, though valid, cannot be called authentically Catholic.
