They use a sort of what I call "hybrid Mass" (Novus Ordo old school style )
[/quote]You mean: a Novus Ordo Mass as it was meant to be by the Vatican Council

THANK YOU.

The Franciscan Friars of the Immaculate frequently use the EF, not sure how often the sisters attend the EF though, I guess it would depend on their proximity to the friars or priest that celebrate the EF.

"Here, in New Bedford, we sisters have a Tridentine Holy Mass celebrated for
us in our convent chapel once a week by our friars. We also attend a
Tridentine Holy Mass in our friars' adoration chapel downtown once a week
plus once a month, we go there for the Tridentine Mass on a Sunday and also
at another chapel in up-State New York (run by our friars) on the 2nd Friday
and Saturday of the month. The other days, we attend Holy Mass in our parish
and the priest celebrates according to the Novus Ordo. It works out about 10
times a month we have Holy Mass celebrated according to the Tridentine rite." -Sister Maria Simona Pia

I thought the Council called for churches to have a free standing altar? What I am meaning to say is that I thought the Council called for the priest to face the congregation in the Novus Ordo. I don't know where exactly I heard that though, so please ignore me if I am wrong.

I haven't read the documents, but according to musicasacra.com, the Mass is presupposed ad orientum, VII said nothing about where the celebrant faces.

Can we quit calling it the "Novus Ordo"? It's not a separate or new order of Mass. Besides.... our dear Holy Father asked us to call it the Ordinary Form of Mass. Hence OF and EF.

Sorry.... that's been bugging me.

Sorry mantellata! I thought NO meant 'The Ordinary.' Shows my knowledge of latin.

[ToJesusMyHeart]

I love calling the Traditional Latin Mass the Extraordinary Form.

Because it is, indeed, extraordinary to behold and to pray.

YES! I love!
Where are these nuns located? I think I'm due for a visit.

Edit: And do they have a website?

They are in Fort Wayne, Indiana. They don't have a website, but their [url="http://franciscanbrothersminor.com/FBM/Home_1.html"]Brothers[/url] do with a section for "[url="http://franciscanbrothersminor.com/FBM/Our_Sisters.html"]Our Sisters[/url]."

Wonderful. Thank you. Do they have vocation retreats? Well..nevermind, I guess they don't anymore, since they're cloistered now!


So, maybe they have a guest house thingy?

Going back to bare-feet, the Capuchin Sisters of Nazareth seem to be this way when they are indoors (check out the videos, 1st one) I'm not sure if they ever have an EF Mass or attend one.. I would guess they would attend one though.

[url="http://www.capuchinsisters.com/"]http://www.capuchinsisters.com/[/url] & [url="http://www.cnsisters.com/"]http://www.cnsisters.com/[/url]

They also have a Discernment Retreat coming up! [url="http://www.capuchinsisters.com/2012/07/discernment-weekend/"]http://www.capuchins...rnment-weekend/[/url] which can be helpful wherever you're called

If I'm not mistaken the council didn't say anything about the altar or the direction of the priest, those things were changed after the council without any base in the documents about the liturgy. I do remember reading something about free standing altars as you said. But a free standing altar doesn't imply facing the people. The monks of Le Barroux in France also have a free standing altar, but still celebrate (the EF) ad orientem. I will look for some sources, but this is how I remember it from what I read about the subject.

Besides, the missal for the OF indicates at wich moments the priest has to turn around to the congregation. It wouldn't have these indications if the OF is assumed to be ad populum (to the people, let's improve everyones Latin here ).
