I beg to differ. That church is very Catholic looking. Check out the outside during the first few seconds. Then slow down your browser or pause it and drag the marker so you can see all of the Catholic elements in this Church. You won’t see stations in a Protestant Church. Except for Anglican churches, Protestants don’t have statues in the churches or kneelers in their pews. The front panel of the altar is very Catholic. I also like the fact that it’s bright and airy. You can see from any point. If you’re preaching, you can see everyone with one glance.

I suppose the comment was about the (in my opinion unfortunate) concert-like fan seating arrangement*, lack of continuous decoration, and rather stark hospitalish whiteness of the walls. A nice paint job of the sanctuary in a light color, perhaps with some classy stencils, and some statues would work very well, I think.

My personal nit-pick is that the interior and exterior are very discordant together. They are very different. If you have a mod interior, at least have a mod exterior; if you have a trad-ish exterior, at least have a trad-ish interior. This church is much better than many of the concrete block Trekkie spaceships, however, which fail on so many levels.

*I realize there is some push for everyone to see every little thing, but I think this can be done better architecturally than building fan seating arrangements. It really ends up feeling a little too intimate and seems more like something one would see in a lecture hall or small theatre. One would think that certain people would not like this, since this seating arrangement strongly implies “show that is to be witnessed” rather than “liturgy that is to be participated in.” -_-

PS: one thing I personally cannot stand is the lack of right angles! I love my ninety degrees.
Anyway, let us rejoice that the Extraordinary Form is being celebrated there.
 
What a beautiful video! This is a fantastic promotion - not pushy - beautifully done. I love the veils as well! Thank you for sharing! 😃

A+++++!

From the perspective of a preacher, that’s the ideal church. It’s very austere, but dignified. It’s wider than long, which makes it possible for you to see everyone’s face from the pulpit. You don’t have to throw your voice at the microphone so that the people in the back can hear you.

The less color the more monastic is looks. It’s like being in an abbey or friary church. The semi-circle seating mimics the choir stalls in a monastery, where the altar is in the center and the monks are around it.

Those who have never seen a monastery or friary church, would not recognize those elements. It’s a great church. I hope the acoustics are good. Most churches with rounded ceilings have good acoustics.

The one piece that is not visible in the video is the tabernacle. Did I miss it?

You must be very proud. You son did a fantastic job at presenting the Extraordinary Form in a very simple, honest, dignified and faith filled manner, without resorting to marketing and politicking against the Ordinary Form. THAT . . . is a producer with dignity. 👍

Would he like to make a video for our community? 😃

Yes it was there, brother. 🙂 Probably because it was covered that’s why you didn’t see it. 😃
 
Our rural Latin Mass group was moved because our priests had to travel 45 miles each way to celebrate Mass for us. So the Archbishop moved the Mass down to one of their parishes to ease the load on them. By the time they used to say our Mass it was the 6 and 7th Mass for them on a weekend.

It was a sad thing for us to have to leave our old church (cruciform) and go to a 1970’s architecture in a fan shape. But with a little thought and lots of preparation, not to mention PRAYERS, we are now doing a very reverent and beautiful TLM (EF) Mass.

The building is not the important thing. Its the Mass.:highprayer:
 
I like the way they were able to transform a modern Alter into a traditional high altar. I’m glad to see that they are able to find a way to properly celebrate the Tridentine Latin Mass in a proper manner even in a church that was obviously built for the Novus Ordo Mass.

If this Mass is very new in the parish, there will obviously be small missteps until people get used to the way it is celebrated. I would fault any of them for making small mistakes. It was a good effort!

I wholeheartedly agree. I have been only to a few but I love it. I really want to see it everywhere.

And I have seen the video and I love how it highlights the Mass of the Saints. Like the woman in the video, I used to have a problem focusing in Church. But now, I don’t. Thank you Tridentine!

And to ensure this post remains on topic, beautiful video! 👍
 
You know it’s a good video when it makes a Protestant want to see a Latin Mass. 👍
