OK, Help Me Out Here
A wedding ceremony just finished - three hours of preaching.
Is this a high mass and can you do it outside?
The bride had twelve attendants and four flower girls (geez, the future Queen of England only had two).

Solemn Mass
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
Ite missa est sung by the deacon at a Solemn Mass.
Solemn Mass (Latin: missa solemnis), sometimes also referred to as Solemn High Mass or simply High Mass, is, when used not merely as a description,
the full ceremonial form of the Tridentine Mass, celebrated by a priest with a deacon and a subdeacon,[1] requiring most of the parts of the Mass to
be sung, and the use of incense. The term "High Mass" is also used in the United States to describe the less elaborate Missa Cantata, which lacks
deacon and subdeacon and some of the ceremonies connected with them.
These terms distinguish the form in question from that of Low Mass and Missa Cantata.
The parts assigned to the deacon and subdeacon are often done by priests in vestments proper to those roles.
A Solemn Mass celebrated by a bishop has its own particular ceremonies and is referred to as a Solemn Pontifical Mass.
The terms "Solemn Mass", "Solemn High Mass", and "High Mass" are also often used within Anglo-Catholicism, in which the ceremonial, and sometimes the
text, are based on those of the Tridentine Mass. Lutherans (mainly in Europe) sometimes use the term "High Mass" to describe a more solemn form of
their Divine Service, generally celebrated in a manner similar to that of Roman Catholics. Examples of similarities include vestments, chanting, and
incense. Lutheran congregations in North America commonly celebrate High Mass in essence,[2] but rarely use the term "Mass"

The Priest Was Miked (Loud)
Incense? Wafers? I don't know.
But, hey, the band has Ricky Ricardo bongo drums. Three in the set, lacquered in red/yellow/orange.

A MASS of Confusion ?
Having attended numerous Catholic ceremonies which were confusing enough without the added impediment of a foreign language, I've often said that it
was a religion that you HAD to get started in as a child to absorb the involved Liturgy.
That adults DO convert is pretty amazing. Although I don't share their belief, I am somewhat in awe of their ability to remember it all and qualify.
I remember what John Grisham wrote in "A Painted House" about the Baptists and Methodists to the effect that they (the Baptists) didn't have the
energy to become Methodists.
Methodists probably don't have the energy to become Catholics.
