For those interested, the schedule is up on the Assumption Grotto website for Orchestral Masses for the Christmas Season

It’s also a chance to experience a Latin Novus Ordo (Midnight Mass and 9:30 on January 8th), and a simple traditional Novus Ordo, I believe in the vernacular at noon on New Year’s Day. All will resemble this (pic taken at closing Mass of a recent 40 hours devotion), but much more spectacular with more altar boys and decorations. If you choose to come, I would advise getting there at least 30 minutes ahead of time as parking gets tight. Masses are longer too as you can imagine, but it will be one of the most heavenly experiences you can imagine.

On Sundays some of our guys have been barbequing hot dogs, hamburgers, and sausages that can be purchased ($1-2) in the school gym following Mass. The kids hang out together and it is a nice way to socialize following Mass.

simple dumb question - does a priest need permission to celebrate Mass ad orientem (like in the picture) ? I thought that Novo Ordo had to be celebrated facing the people even in latin ?

Its just another myth. I don’t have time atm to get the wording in the GIRM, but there is subtle wording that acknowledges the ad orientem stance. There are probably several threads devoted to the topic and someone may be able to link to one before I can get back here. I have to get up in a few hours and it would take more time than I have right now to go dig it out. In the mean time, here is good reading:

I wish we had the Latin Novus Ordo Mass in our diocese. I would attend for certain. The Novus Ordo Masses that I’ve attended have been beautiful, and reminiscent of the TLM, of which I am extremely fond.

If only I could join you in Detroit!

God bless,
please pray for the reacquisition of faithful liturgical practices around the world.

EWTN did it for years. The bishop tried to ban it. The Vatican stepped in and told him it was allowed. He banned it from being televised. That is why one does not see the sisters at an EWTN Mass. If the mass were being said to the people, the sisters in the cloister behind (where the choir normally is) would see his back.
