"Traditional Latin Mass filmed on Easter Sunday in 1941 at Our Lady of Sorrows church in Chicago. The film presents the ceremonies of the Missa Solemnis or Solemn High Mass in full detail with narration by then-Mgr. Fulton J. Sheen. Celebrated by Rev. J. R. Keane of the Order of Servites (hence the white habits and cowls), the ceremonies are accompanied by a full polyphonic choir, orchestra, and fifty Gregorian Chanters."

WOW! Thanks for the post! I am going to get my husband to fix our sound hook--up so I can listen and watch.

Thanks again!

Bump to myself for later viewing.

Thanks for embedding the video.

Makes me recall this by Pope St. Gregory the Great:

"At that hour of the Sacrifice, at the words of the Priest, the heavens are opened, and in that mystery of Jesus Christ, the choirs of Angels are present, and things below are joined to things on high, earthly things to heavenly, and the service is both a visible and an invisible event."

That is a great Mass . . . and with the narration by Abp. Sheen . . . what could be better?

. . . and everybody is so reverent, so concentrated, so focussed . . .

Thanks for the link, brother. Very interesting. Saint-to-be-Sheen has some great commentary...I could, but won't, quibble about a few things

Just great. Thanks
