A Solemn High Mass is a Tridentine (Traditional Latin) Mass with a Deacon, Sub-deacon, several altar servers, and a schola choir; the schola sings the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, Agnus Dei, as well as certain proper prayers (the Introit, a.k.a. opening chant in Novus Ordo churches; the Gradual [or Tract or Alleluia];as well as the Offertory and Communion antiphons). The Sub-deacon chants the Epistle (first reading), while the Deacon chants the Gospel. The Priest then gives the Homily (if there is one) and sometimes, as in any Tridentine Mass, reads the Epistle and Gospel in English. The priest also chants other parts of the mass (such as the Preface) and says the Canon- the Eucharistic Prayer- in a quiet voice per the usual at Latin Masses. It’s very beautiful and very lengthy; I’ve seen them last up to two hours on certain feast days. The FSSP, the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter, is a society dedicated to administering the Sacraments and celebrating the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as they were before the Second Vatican Council. Hope that helps!

Not to quibble, but it’s still known as the Introit in the OF Mass, in Latin. In French it has been called the “chant d’entrée”, but that’s an accurate translation of “introit”. In English the term I’ve heard used is “Entrance antiphon”.

Of course the Introit, Gradual, Alleluia verse or Tract, Offertory and Communion antiphons are still part of the Ordinary Form, and used daily in the OF where I attend Mass 🙂

Just wanted to makes sure that our new convert understands that this is not exclusive to the EF Mass.

And while not common, there are three abbeys within a 100 km radius of where I live that do this daily, in the Ordinary Form. And when our schola sings once a month in local parishes, 4 places!

In simple terms its the Tridentine Mass is said in Latin and the Priest has his back to the people, and not in front of the people as in the Novus Ordo. Its very beautiful and goes back to before Vatican 11, Pope Benedict has declared both forms are valid so its a matter of choice.

Here is a link to understand it better.

I’ll remember you as one of my personal intentions during the mass, my friend!

If anybody else wishes they could attend but can’t, send me a private message and I’ll personally pray for you and your intentions during mass on that day and in my rosary every day leading up to it.

👍:D:highprayer::gopray2::signofcross: I wish I could be there as well…

I hope that they will show it on you tube later on.

Thanks for the thread, God bless. Pax.
 
Just to make you more jealous we have a High Tridentine Mass every Sunday morning with Choir singing all the Latin Hymns, and the singing is only magnificent, I have even see people wipe tears away from there eyes , nothing compares to it for Reverence, Majesty, the prayerful solemn moment done with such respect and love for the Lord.

Where is this, in Dublin. Ireland.@ 10.30 every Sunday morning.

I am so lucky.:signofcross:

P.S But the Novus Ordo is great also if said with reverence and attention to detail, this of course depends on the priest.
 
If this is the same Fr. John Berg from St. Stephens in Sacramento California, then I had the privilege of having him as a priest for about a yr…I think it was 2002-2003.

I left St. Stephens because it was an hr commute each way and I had returned to work and it was so much easier to drive 15 minutes to another parish. When we returned about a yr, or less later, he had been transferred, I don’t recall to where, but we really missed him.

This priest is truly a blessing…makes me miss the Tridentine Mass…
