Hi All đź‘‹

It’s so nice to be back online here!!!

For those interested in traditional Novus Ordo settings, I have been posting photos on my blog with a total photo post of over 20, thus far. I can only put about 3-7 photos per blog-post, and there were over 372 keeper-pics between mine, and another parishioner.

The setting is Assumption Grotto - and our feast day is…Assumption. It’s a big thing there, but we don’t celebrate with carnival rides and popcorn. Rather, it is a day filled with solemn liturgies and devotions.

I don’t want to take up bandwidth here, so follow through to my blog and any comments can be made in this post to keep it up towards the top for at least a time.

All that you see is based on the Mass of Vatican II. It is not a Tridentine.

I am not done posting photos as I have a few more posts to make, but I keep building the liest. You can get to my home page any time by clicking it in my sig!

Here is Photo Post 21. Consider starting at the introductory post and working your way down as it goes through the day. Number 21 is already after the outdoor evening Mass. I got there at 7:00am and was there until 10:30 when the last shot was taken (seen in Introductory Post)
 
Pax tecum!

They still have that free standing altar in there? I thought they were going to move it out because they only use the high altar now.

In Christ,
Rand

Rand,

I spoke to the pastor some months ago about the free-standing altar. At this time it must remain there. He did not elaborate and I didn’t see a need to get into any further details. And, it is used.

The high wall altar is used only at the 9:30am Mass on Sundays and on feast days, or when there is a celebratory reason to do so. Obviously, it is celebrated ad orientem, which was never abrogated. Since I’ve been there (May 15, 2005), I have only experienced the Latin Novus Ordo (Mass of Vatican II in Latin) celebrated when the high wall altar is used. Only the readings, intercessions and a few other obvious things are in English, but the rest is in Latin. And, there is always incense, more incense, and lots of bowing (in all Masses at Grotto).

For example, when Archbishop Raymond L. Burke, currently head of the Marian Catechists, came in to celebrate Mass in honor of Fr. John A. Hardon, SJ, it’s founder, he used the high wall altar during the Saturday evening Mass.

We get many visiting priests and bishops. You can see Fr. Joseph Fessio using the center table altar when he came in to kick off his “Spirit of the Liturgy” seminar/retreat in my blog, as well.

Some of the most beautiful pictures are throughout the April, May and June Archives within my blog, especially Easter Season. Just scroll through April!

Photo post 23 is up, which is the final post in the series.

Links to all previous photos posts on Assumption 2006 can be found in this thread.

**With 100 views on it already as of this post, let’s get a least a few periodic comments in here to bump it up for others to see. **

God Bless and enjoy, for those who enjoy a taste of traditional worship and devotion, fully aligned with the Magisterium.

It’s the Mass of Vatican II - really! Don’t mistake it for a Tridentine

Diane, I love your blog, and your pictures, as usual, are absolutely breathtaking. You should teach classes in Liturgical Photography. đź‘Ť

Hi Sue,

Keep in mind some of those were taken by a fellow parishioner who has been teaching me a thing or two!!! I know how to frame a picture, but he knows the mechanics of photography - something I am in training for.

:rotfl:
 
Ahhhh the Grotto. I miss it dearly. It was a safe heaven for me when I was in seminary at Sacred Heart. Seeing the pictures brings back memories and also calls to mind the memory of a beloved frined Mr. Cal Shenk.

Thank you for sharing.

Casey - keep an eye on my blog. It’s all about the Grotto!!!

I came to Assumption Grotto for the first time just weeks before Cal passed away and never did get to know him. But, I met his wife when we had a one year memorial and dinner. From all that I heard about Cal, I wish I had known him.
 
Diane,

It is always great to see your photos, they really capture the spirit of what was going on during the Feast.

I was there early as well, and stayed about half of the day. It is amazing how many people came out for this celebration. I requested the day off, and it looked as though many others did as well. I am sure even more showed up after work with their families.

I wish other parishes would celebrate feast days in this manner.

Keep up the good work!

PS any word on Latin classes?

How many parishes celebrate their feast days with ferris wheels and tilt-a-whirls? Not that these are bad if they are not related ot any feast day and are simply a parish festival. But feast days should be treated with pure devotion.

Fr. Perrone had a second latin-lite, but it was pertaining to Gregorian Chant. Grotto needs to offer a pure Latin Class. Until then, I recommend the online course listed in the bottom side bar of my blog. Got to head off to work, so just click my sig and scroll along the side until you come to the Latin section if you want to check it out.

But, Fr. Perrone is offering his weekly Adult Catechism at night starting some time in October. It was awesome last year. This hear he will base his talks on the compendium. It all makes RCIA look like kindergarten roundup.
