Extraordinary Form Workshop a Success
Catholic Online
CHICAGO, IL (SEPTEMBER 5, 2008) - From August 25-29, 2008, laity from around the Midwestern region of the United States convened at the Cardinal Stritch Retreat House at Chicago’s Mundelein Seminary to attend a Workshop for Laity in the Extraordinary Form of the Mass guided by Fr. Scott Haynes, S.J.C.
Each day participants enjoyed participating in both a Low Mass in the morning and a High Mass in the afternoon. The daytime was filled with conferences, tutorials in both Latin and Gregorian Chant and with stimulating conversation. The evenings afforded time for Eucharistic Adoration at the evening Holy Hour, which included the recitation of the Most Holy Rosary in Latin, led by the participants themselves.
Those in attendance learned to sing Gregorian Chant for the Traditional Latin Mass (1962 Missale Romanum). Some participants joined in the schola cantorum for the Missa Cantata, which was celebrated each day.
Everyone enjoyed the interesting lectures about the Classical Form of the Roman Rite. Lectures topics included:
“History of the Mass of the Roman Rite,” “Liturgical Ceremonies and Mystical Theology in the Mass,” “The Traditional Latin Mass in Parish Life Today,” “Spirituality and Active Participation in the Liturgy,” and “The Splendor of Beauty and the Liturgical Arts.”
Returning from an exciting liturgical conference held in Budapest, Hungary, Fr. Dennis Kolinski, S.J.C., shared some of the insights and thoughts discussed in Budapest with Dr. Alcuin Reid, Dr. Laurence Hemming, Dr. Lauren Pristas, and others.
By the week’s end, everyone had deepened his understanding about the Mass which is “the most beautiful thing this side of heaven.”

Padre Pio Shrine in San Antonio, Historical Videos
Due to our kids being in CYO soccer, we are currently unable to attend Latin Mass at St. Pius X. This is a source of great distress to me as any Latin Mass devotee will surely empathize with. So, today, we attended Padre Pio Shrine here, a new parish that was established in 2001. It is a very modern and unattractive architechtural edifice, much like a strip mall or medical clinic type building. Anyhow, the Mass was a Novus Ordo nightmare. It was as bad as it gets. Youth Choir with piano player lead singer and electronic drummer to give all the reorchestrated prayers and hymns a pop groove. They have two gigantic screens on either side that display via a projector the lyrics to hymns, as well as the weekly bulletin which was displayed before and after Mass. It was neat to be honest, but as you might guess, highly distracting and not conducive to any form of reverence. There were females dressed immodestly in abundance, shorts, flip flops, the gamut. Half the church bailed after Communion. It was pathetic, real chaff ready for the fire.
At any rate, I love Padre Pio, and decided to do a little more reading and study on one of my favorite stigmatists. At a minimum I wanted to at least slow the rate of turns that the Blessed Saint is rolling in his grave after this travesty of a Mass being said at the Shrine that bears his name. Wikipedia indicates that he continued to say the Latin Mass until his death with permission from Pope Paul VI due to his ill health. That is comforting to me in many ways. So I found a few videos of Padre Pio, Part 4 has video of his last Mass, what a beautiful thing.
Saint Padre Pio, please help restore the Latin Mass throughout the world. Help us correct errors in our beloved Church. Saint Padre Pio, pray for us.
