1940

For anyone who wants to view, here is a High Mass from 1940, narrated and explained by Fulton Sheen, with large choir and full orchestra. The film is unbelievably fine, with artwork, music, captions, and step-by-step explanation. Two of the priests are biological brothers.

Prior to all the changes, it was common for families to produce several sons and daughters who entered the priesthood and/or religious life. Families of up to nine children are common at St. Stephen, which is very promising.

I had the Latin Mass from my baptism in 1961, age 8, through 1967. We had our Latin/English Missal then with many beautiful, color pictures. I was young, so when boredom struck, the pictures were great. I don’t know where mine went. A new one was bought in 2020. ​www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqkqc2-iteQ
