"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

My home parish St. John Cantius has had a beautiful Traditional Latin Mass at Midnight on Christmas Eve for close to two decades. St. John Cantius, Carpenter and Chicago Avenue, Chicago IL We put the “extra” in Extraordinary Form.
Saturday, December 24 – Vigil of the Nativity of the Lord
11:00 p.m. – Christmas Carols & Handel’s Messiah
12:00 a.m. – Extraordinary Form of the Mass (Pontifical Solemn High Mass in Latin)
Confessions begin at 11:00pm
Sounds beautiful! I won’t be anywhere near there…I’ll be singing in our own choir for our EF Midnight Mass (yes at 12:01 as well!). Our music program is similar: we’re singing Victoria’s O Magnum Mysterium Mass as well as his O Magnum Mysterium motet (DITTO would that it were Lauridsen!!).
That sounds wonderful.
I won’t be attending an EF Christmas Eve Mass, but I will likely attend one in the Morning. Instead my parish will be having Midnight Mass at 11 celebrated by the Bishop, with our music provided by our permanent deacon and our priest. I am hoping this will be concelebrated so there will be no need for EMHCs.
No rabbit hole intended here, Father, but “pace” yourself and Mary Jane, the de Victoria “O Magnum Mysterium” is by far the best! Listen carefully and treat yourselves.
Our midnight Mass (at midnight) will include both the Lauridsen and Victoria O Magnum. Best of both worlds! Ordinary form in our case.
I’m so excited! I have been waiting two years to be able to attend and this Christmas Eve will be it! It’s a Christmas Miracle :)
I’m hoping to be able to go! I’m wondering, though, what the approximate duration of the Mass will be. I think the last train home leaves the city around 2 AM, so perhaps I should drive instead if it’s likely to be longer than 90 minutes. Any ideas on this?
ctengel,
Show up early, and you should be able to find a space in front of the church no problem. You might catch the last train at Penn if you jog, but you’d miss the reception.
The wonderful thing about Manhattan is that within fifteen minutes you can reach a TLM from anywhere in that part of NYC!
If you have the money, there isn’t a better city to live in than NYC (Manhattan, not Long Island; the latter is drudgery, to me), and I say this as a Traditionalist Catholic.
An interesting side-note, when in Manhattan, William F. Buckley Jr. always attended the TLM.
I am going…Any parking garages open 24 hours int hat area? Otherwise the subway is my route..3 visitors possibly coming with me !
Eh, I wish were, but I’m on the other side of the country. Thanks for highlighting that church, though. I’d heard of it, but had never been to it before. Next time I’m home it’ll be a stop, maybe for Sunday Mass.
It’s the 7pm NO Vigil Mass for me tonight.
For any New Orleans readers, get thee to St. Patrick’s on Camp St. for a Fr. Z- worthy, lovely Midnight Mass in the Extraordinary Form ! Awesome music, as well. Fr. Klores is a treasure.
Ziti, si!
Zuhlsdorf, no!
Missed seeing you, Father – hope it wasn’t anything dire.
Happy Christmas!
