| 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.

| Traditional Latin Mass: Feast of the Sacred Heart |
 |
Traditional Latin Mass filmed on the Feast of
the Sacred Heart in the small chapel of the
International Seminary of Saint Cure d'Ars,
Flavigny, France, in 1999. The seminary is
the Society of Saint Pius X's second European
seminary. Typically seminarians spend their
first year of spiritually there before
leaving for Ecône, Switzerland, to complete
their training.
The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa
Solemnis or Solemn High Mass with Gregorian
chant and polyphonic motets. Some local
customs take place during the Mass. For
example, birettas are not worn and the Domini
Non Sum Dignus is recited aloud by all
present. More astute listeners might also
notice the French pronunciation, which is
perhaps not the ideal.
This film has been available on the Internet
for quite some time encoded in a very low
quality format. I have encoded the video here
from an original source at the highest
quality possible given the size restrictions
at Youtube. Unfortunately this has resulted
in a slightly blurred picture and mono sound
rather than stereo. Apart from the addition
of captions, the film remains unchanged.
