Traditional Mass

[Ruth_Catherine]

I have never attended a traditional mass, though, I would like to. There just aren’t any available for me. I have seen videos of them, just on the internet, and it looks like there is more than one priest.
Does a traditional latin mass always have more than one priest? One reason I ask is because of the shortage of priests.
Is there a resource or video somewhere that someone can suggest that teaches about the latin mass?
I am very interested in learning more about it.

Thanks

Some of the Masses you saw on the net were probably Solemn High Masses involving Deacons and Sub-deacons – or priests vested as Deacons and Sub-deacons. Most parishes only saw those on very special occasion such as an ordination or great feast.

What we had regularly was the High Mass (Missa Cantata) the sung Mass on Sundays and Low Mass, the quiet Mass during the week and early Sunday morning and those only required one priest.

On the good old time every priest celebrated a mass every single day, and they were many priests in most of the larger parishes. Many Masses were private Masses and the norm was for the Mass one priest and may be one altar server. The public Masses too were one priest only in the waste majority of times.

The priests of the traditional organizations (FSSP, Institute of Christ) also say masses every day, and the majority of the one priest Low Mass.

At christthekingsarasota.org/ page (click on the 'Daily Mass video Stream", and after paging down the ‘Today’s recorded Mass’) you may see Low Mass for every day.

High Mass is celebrated with deacon and subdeacon. They may be priest, in any way in liturgical vestment. Con-celebration (more than one priest celebration a mass was allowed only in rare occasions like Ordination.
