I remember we used to call it “High Mass”.

Does that ring a bell with anyone?

Yes. Our parish does one every first and third Sunday of the month:

I am an advocate of the Tridentine Mass but have never personally attended a High Mass, and only one Missa Cantata (sung solo by the priest). Boy, would I like to visit!

Please pray for your trapped bretheran on the remote island chain of Hawaii. American-bred priests have come from the disaster known as Menlo Park Seminary for the past 40 years. A Latin Mass to them? They think it was stopped somewhere along 1362 (and a hearty good riddance!) And the foreign priests from the Philippines are poorly trained in liturgy, let alone Latin and Gregorian. We are trapped unlike you folks on the Mainland who can drive somewhere. But how magnificent is our 83 year old Papa, writing books for us and giving us the treasure of the ages in Moto Proprio.

Brian, not to nitpick, but the Holy Father is Pope Benedict XVI, not XVL (I'm pretty sure that XVL isn't even a Roman numeral).

I want to attend the Sunday Mass in Patton SO BADLY, but hubby doesn’t want to drive that far. If it were up to me, we’d join your parish. We are going to a local NO parish with a more traditional priest. Just four miles from us.

But it’s not the same....
I continue to pray that the Latin Mass will return to our diocese.
