Up until 1984 when we got a new rector, we routinely had the Asperges/Vidi Aquam before Mass (OF) at my cathedral parish. I know it’s not in my 1962 St. Joseph’s Missal. But, I learned it as a child. Years ago, the 6am and 8am Sunday Masses were Low Masses. The 10am Mass could be a Missa Cantata (what we used to call a High Mass) or an actual Solemn High Mass on high holy days or feast days. Don’t remember what the 12pm Mass was since we never went at that time.
PF, those folks existed way back when. My mother had problems with what she called “pillars of the church”. There is nothing new under the sun.
What is agonizing for me is that our rector was ordained in 1957 and says the EF privately. I know my parish would love to have a sung Solemn High Mass. Lord knows we have enough choir members to easily form a schola and certainly enough old fogies like me who were altar boys back then.
My oldest son (the one who took it upon himself to learn to chant the Pater Noster) will be moving back home next month. Our local indult parish only has Low Mass but St. Patrick’s down in NO has Solemn High Mass so I am sure there is an expedition down to Da City coming up.

I visited St. Patricks a few months ago while working in New Orleans. There was some kind of special event taking place. Oh yeah… it was the one year anniversary of Summorum Pontificum. They had a Solemn High Mass and there was a large group of Seminarians there in Cassocks. The choir was out of this world. It was the best I have ever heard.My oldest son (the one who took it upon himself to learn to chant the Pater Noster) will be moving back home next month.

I think I recall the Priest saying that they have a Solemn High Mass once or twice a month. If you haven’t been, you ought to give it a try.

I’ve been several times over the years. I’m a native New Orleanian and home is just a little over an hour’s drive away. St. Pat’s had a Solemn High Mass on Corpus Christi and they had to turn people away (that was in the newspaper here in Baton Rouge no less). Speaking of Corpus Christi, the Archdiocese of New Orleans has had a formal Corpus Christi procession for the last two years.I visited St. Patricks a few months ago while working in New Orleans.

This was the first weekend where I was able to follow the Mass completely in my Missal without get lost.
