Watch a Latin Mass video!


This is a full-length Tridentine (Latin) Mass video. It was filmed on Easter Sunday in 1941 at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Chicago. The film presents the ceremonies of the Solemn High Mass in full detail with narration by Monsignor Fulton J. Sheen. Sheen explains everything that happens!

More information and other videos can found found on my category post: Traditional Latin Mass.

It reminds me of the good old days of Latin Masses and makes me feel nostalgic. Of course this Mass took place before I was born. It was an era when there was much more respect for the Holy Eucharist and for priests. People dressed up for Church and they seemed more reverent during Mass.

Thanks for posting this.

I'm glad that you found this since you were looking for a video of the Latin Mass. It's interesting that my teenage boys really love the Latin Mass with its majestic and soaring nature.

Great vid, moneybags! :-)

I hope when you're a priest, you'll allow me to come and soak in the beauty for awhile.

Majestic, simply majestic. The sacredness of the Holy Mass could never be mistaken for anything else. This really is a jewel of a video! Thank you!

(P.S. I like their haircuts too!)
