Recently, Aaron Baugher, JF, blogger at Commentarii Mei and promoter of the Latin Mass at St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church, issued a posting entitled Latin Mass Walk-Through.
Here's how he introduces the posting:
We had some new people at the 8:00 Mass this Sunday, and I discovered afterward that we’re not doing a very good job of helping newbies get started and follow along. After you’ve been going a while, it’s easy to forget how confusing it was the first time, but it doesn’t have to be that way if people are helped a little. So for people who are thinking about joining us at St. Rose, here’s a step-by-step guide that I hope will prevent some confusion.
I’m writing about the Low Mass here, since it’s the one I attend at 8:00am every Sunday, and it’s also the form used on other days of the week. The High Mass at 11:00am Sunday and some holy days is different because the choir sings the responses and some other things, and there’s more going on. The Low Mass is easier to follow your first time, since it’s all spoken rather than sung. Maybe I’ll do another walk-through on the High Mass sometime.
Aaron also completed a series called Why the Latin Mass? and even offers online lessons on Learning Latin.
Looks like a good effort by Aaron.
