Mass

Rites

At SVF we celebrate Mass in two Rites: the Roman Rite and the Dominican Rite.

Roman Rite

All Roman Rite Masses are celebrated in the Ordinary Form of the Mass (i.e. the Novus Ordo).

• Roman Rite Solemn Mass
• Roman Rite Solemn Mass at the High Altar
• Roman Rite Low Mass

All Nuptial Masses (i.e. wedding Masses) are also celebrated in the Roman Rite.

• Roman Rite Nuptial Mass
• Roman Rite Nuptial Mass at the High Altar

Dominican Rite

• Dominican Rite Low Mass
• Dominican Rite Solemn High Mass

Designations of Solemnity

The Dominican Rite designates three levels of solemnity for Mass with corresponding rubrics. They are the [[Low Mass]], [[Sung Mass]], and [[Solemn High Mass]]. Although there is no such designation in the Ordinary Form of the Roman Rite, we similarly make corresponding informal designations for those Masses as well:

• [[Low Mass]]: 0-1 servers, no Cantor.
• [[Sung Mass]]: 0-1 servers, Cantor.
• [[Solemn High Mass|Solemn Mass]]: 4+ servers, Schola Cantorum.
