There's also a Tridentine Mass that I have attended at one of the old missions. A truly inspiring experience.

I'll have to look into the Aramaic masses though. I still felt a bet queasy going to that newfangled Latin mass that wasn't developed until centuries after the Last Supper. ;-)

Though RC, I am a member of a Maronite Catholic parish. The Divine Liturgy is in English, except for the entrance dialogue, certain prayers and the Consecration, which is in Aramaic. To hear the priest chant the words of our Lord in His language, is like being at the Last Supper. You can learn a little about the Maronite liturgy at this link.
