How many of you are interested in attending a Latin NO Mass? What are your feelings on such a thing?
How many of you attend one? What are your observances of the Mass?
If the Latin NO were to be widely established, what would you like to see accomplished with it’s implantation?
 
Even though I love the TLM, my favorite Mass all time was a mixture of both Latin and English NO said by one of the priests in my hometown back in the 1980’s and early 1990’s. This priest tried to keep as much of the TLM culture in the NO as he could get away with. But it went pretty much like this:

Asperges Me/Vidi Aquam - Sung in Latin
Confiteor - English
Kyrie - Sung in Greek
Gloria in Excelsis - Sung in Latin
1st Reading/Responsorial/2nd Reading/Alleluia - English
Gospel - English
Homily - English
Credo - Sung in Latin
ALWAYS ROMAN CANON WAS USED - English
Sanctus - Sung in Latin
Our Father - Chanted in English
Agnus Dei - Sung in Latin

Father chanted most all of the priest’s responses (preface, minor elevation, etc) in English. He wore spendid vestments and a biretta. Altar Boys wore cassocks. Communion was received on the tongue kneeling at the altar rail. The Latin Mass choir always sung this Mass accompanied by a tremendous organist and magnificent pipe organ. Only traditional Catholic hymns were sung they were a good mixture of English and Latin. The high altar was (and still is) there. Except for the table altar which was installed, no wreckovation had been done to this Church.

In my mind, this is the outline of the Mass called for by Sancrosantum Concillium and Vatican II. It had just the right mixture of fixed Latin with the changable vernacular. If I could only find a Mass like this again, I think I would be in heaven.
 
I tend to go to a TLM, but I love the Mass/Divine Liturgy according to any missal or rite and in any language 🙂

**You really know how to hurt a guy! What I’d give for that! **No Latin Mass of any knid on this little island.😦
The nearest TLM is over a 100 miles away & then we would have to hop a flight to go. Will just have to keep on praying.:crying:
God bless!
 
We have a Wed Latin NO Mass, with our other Masses incorporating a lot of Latin ( Sanctus, Credo, Agnus Dei etc…)
 
I already regularly attend one here in the Detroit area. The priest does a reasonably good job with it. It is quite a reverent Mass in a very old church.

Unfortunately, this priest is being transfered to the outskirts of the Archdiocese in June. I am already having stomach aches wondering what his replacement is going to do.

Throughout Lent at my parish, we chant the Sanctus and the Agnus Dei in Latin.
 
I am SO BLESSED that my church offers the NO Mass in Latin every Sunday. It’s really beautiful. I’ve been to the TLM a couple of times, but I enjoy the NO performed in Latin even more. We have men singing Gregorian chant during the procession & recession, and all throughout the Mass.

The only problem is that since the mass is the exact same thing as when it’s performed without the use of Latin, sometimes the priest may forget it’s the Latin mass and switch to English in the middle of the celebration. Ooops…😊 You have to sympathize with them though, cuz they only do it once a week. I’m sure it’s easy to forget. Especially when your eighty something years old! 😃 I LOVE my parish!
 
Certainly I would!
It’s odd. I grew up in the New Order, have attended many Indult Tridentine Masses and Ukrainian Divine Liturgies, Good Friday vespers at a Melkite Church, and Qorbono at a Maronite, and yet I have never been to a Latin Novus Ordo Mass. Strangely enough I’ve only been to one church in my entire life, St. Matthew’s Cathedral in D.C. that even offered a Latin N.O.
 
I have thought for a while it would be great, and more solemn, if the novus ordo was done in Latin.
