I viewed the video in the first link, which is excellent - very reverent. It’s so nice to see that the monks use chant, but I can’t tell if the Mass they are celebrating is the EF, or the OF ad orientum. Does anyone happen know?

How beautiful… I know our Lord is always with us.
 
What great hope for the Church!

We will see more of this–young people offering their lives to Christ in a radical way.
Average age–28! Praise the Lord!

Definitely posting this video on my Facebook. Thanks for sharing!
 
They celebrate the EF Mass, quite often chanting it. It’s really incredible. We have a family member who is one of the priests there. 🙂
