EWTN has announced the debut of Extraordinary Faith, a television series showcasing the beauties of Sacred Tradition and the Tridentine Mass.
Episode 1 was filmed at the historic Mission San Juan Capistrano in California, located about one hour south of Los Angeles. Episode 1 includes some background information about the series, as well as an interview with George Sarah, a Hollywood composer who was asked to become president of Una Voce Los Angeles after he organized a number of special high-profile Tridentine Masses in historic churches.
It is George who has alerted me to this. I met him for the first time several years ago on a trip to Los Angeles and have written articles on his music – he is an enigmatic figure who is engaging with the contemporary culture constructively. His style has been described as electronic chamber music. He performs with a traditional string trio, but accompanies them on electronic keyboards and drum machines. It has a haunting quality and a modern feel but, and I think it is more than simply the choice of instruments, it has a sense of traditional form about it as well. I wrote about his music in my blog here.
Joy Lanfranchi of Una Voce Orange County discusses the annual Lenten Pilgrimage from St. Michael’s [Norbertine] Abbey to the Mission, culminating, not surprisingly, with a Latin Mass. DVD copies of this and every episode of Extraordinary Faith will be available for sale from EWTN’s Religious Catalog.

Remember to show some patience and kindness to people who are addicted to the Latin Mass fad.
Can’t wait to see it! We used to live just up the street (Camino Capistrano) and spent many wonderful hours at the old mission. Last year, I went back to visit and saw the beautiful new basilica. Mission SJC will always be one of my favorite places. Thanks for the heads-up.
Just sayin'
no average, church attending Christian
It’s the work of the Holy Spirit, ain’t no fad, even if former Jesuits say so.
; )
And very few Christians (church-going or not) read the Latin of the Tridentine Mass (which is the real issue) for the close-to-500 years the Latin was in effect throughout the world. We had missals (our own, not distributed by the parish out of church-funds) which allowed us to follow every Latin word in English (or Spanish or Greek any other language that existed at the time). Imagine.
Btw, many, many Christians did and do read the Bible in its original form and in all the translations it spawned. The King James version didn’t sprout from the brow of Zeus.
Filmed not far from where I grew up.
That Mission is beautiful.
The swallows still return on Saint Joseph’s Day EVERY YEAR.
I remember them when I was a child and they were all;
kyrie eleison, kyrie eleison, Christe eleison, Christe eleison etc.
And unless they've changed, the alter boys began with;
Ad Deum qui latificat ...
Benediction was beautiful with O Salutaris Hostia and I never had a clue what was being said, sung nor why.
And NO ONE asked me if I wanted to be saved .... ever.
And Scripture wasn't written in English, and wasn't written by King James, either.
"Ad Deum qui latificat "
"... juventutem meam". "I will go unto the altar of God, to God who gives joy to my youth" ... Psalm 43:4, look it up.
Remember to show some patience and kindness to people who are addicted to the Latin Mass fad.”
I didn’t realize I was part of a fad for the last 50 years starting as 9 year old altar boy. The beauty and spiritualism of the Tridentine Mass is in astonishing contrast to the boom shakalaka abomination presented today.
Another victim of the 60’s self aggrandizement generation.
Awesome.
Awesome.

A Biblical Walk Through the Mass by Edward Sri (Book Review) [Ecumenical]
1000+ year fad.
Well ...... liturgy is an invention from 1550 as a form of
public worship and the scriptures are The Word of God preceding any liturgy, so why would I want to learn or know about (a) liturgy when the scriptures is what God wants us to study (2 Tim 3:15) ?
No, liturgy is not an invention of the dates you mention.
In the early days of the Catholic Church, the apostles would attend the synagogue on the Sabbath, and then they would have an Eucharistic celebration of the Lord on the Lord’s Day — Sunday.
If you dig into Justin Martyr — you will find the basic outline of the liturgy we celebrate today in the Catholic Church. Who would have ever imagined it?
A good book to read on the history of the early Church.
Read about Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, Justin Martyr, and Irenaeus of Lyons.
