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.

One can't help but feel immensely proud to be Roman Catholic while watching this; especially if one attends a traditional Latin mass.

i wish my priest still talked like that. He told me that he remembers being a server and a celeberant in the latin Mass.

@raphael142010 A peça inicial é o "Dialogue" de Eugéne Gigout

[raphael142010]

Alguém sabe me dizer qual peça está sendo executada no início? E qual missa está sendo cantada?

I wonder what it is like... to be so small, so petty, so filled with pitch-black, darkened hate, that one spends their time on YouTube denigrating what is sacred to others.

Does God send people to hell, or does he simply allow us to continue existing, after we die, exactly what we made of ourselves in life?

@0masakra0 I would have defended the Church if I was born then. Beside, my parents immigrated to Montreal in 1980, none of my ancesters was part of the révolution tranquille.
