At what church was the Mass celebrate?
The church that the traditional Latin Mass was celebrated at was the Saint Francis de Salles church in South City.
What were some of the differences between this Latin Mass and the Mass celebrated in your church (ex. Movements of the priest, decorations, altar set up, type of music, role of the servers, use of the bells)
The first, most notable thing is that the priest rarely turns around to the congregation but, only doing so for the first reading and homily.

The congregation was very active in the mass. We were constantly having to kneel for everything unlike a Catholic mass where we only kneel for the Eucharist. We also participated in singing a tremendous amount during the mass, singing Gregorian Chants. So overall the congregation was a very active and involved in the Latin mass.
In what language were the readings done?
The readings were done in traditional Latin but, it sounded a lot like Italian to me. I know very little Latin so it was very hard to understand but, I enjoyed it.
Why do you think people attend this mass?
I think people attend this mass because they feel that some of the tradition. Like the traditional Latin hymns or songs for example, are lost in a regular Catholic mass.I also thought the reason why people attend the Latin mass is to get closer to Jesus and the apostles because that's how it was done immediately after the church was taking off. In other words, experiencing a Latin Mass is an extraordinary experience and should be attended at least once by all. It brings us closer to God
