Highlights of the Sarum Mass at St. Thomas's Anglican Church, Toronto, Candlemas, 2 February 2010
"A faithful attempt to portray what Candlemas may have looked like sometime in the early 16th century in an English parish."

Why 3 crosses though?
The Sarum Usage certainly never had women in albs daring to enter the sanctuary. What a joke. Nothing but invalid play acting.
Sacred choreography. Beautiful and dignified.
I wonder if they used serviettes? Sometimes one sees these girls in so-called Anglo-Catholic and RC establishments...Stephan
Actually I appreciate the female servers, thank God for Anglicanism!! 👏
Meanwhile Papists be like: "rEjEcT CrInGe pRoTeStAnT HeAdBaNgInG"
I will one day come and worship with you people,greetings you from Benue state North Central Nigeria(am a priest)
I can almost forgive the girl acolytes.
More Catholic than Novus Ordo
I am Evangelical Anglican in North Central Nigeria but to say the fact i love this Anglo Catholic the most.
Good to see another Nigerian who loves the Anglo-Catholic tradition.
"Private judgement in gorgeous array'' [Cardinal Manning, convert Archbishop of Westminster commenting on so-called Anglo-Catholicism]. All show but a sad imitation of the genuine thing.
Judgement? Anglicanism has been described as having "All the pageantry, none of the guilt"
What a shame, they have women priests.

My name is Robert Mitchell and I was the initiator, researcher and, with the enormous support and assistance of the rector of the parish, the primary organizer of this liturgy. Many others were involved in this effort, too numerous to mention here. Although I am a priest, I can be seen in this video wearing a tunicle and fulfilling the role of “Clerk,” including censing the cantors. We held this Mass during my time as an Associate Priest at St. Thomas’s, Huron Street, Toronto (2008-2016). I’d like to explain a little a bit about what we were trying to do. St. Thomas’s is a part of the anglo-catholic tradition within Anglicanism that primarily uses the Book of Common Prayer for its worship services. The Book of Common Prayer was developed largely based on the Sarum Mass that came before it in England. In fact, several of the prayers are simply translations of the Latin prayers of the Mass. As Anglicans who worship with the BCP every day, and who look to both our Anglican and pre-reformation heritage to inform our current practises, we decided to hold this Mass as a form of liturgical, spiritual and historical education for ourselves and our parish. It was a part of series of Communion services including a 1549 Book of Common Prayer Mass (the first BCP) and a 1552 Book of Common Prayer Communion service. We were not pretending to be Roman Catholics nor to be living in the 16th Century (the electric lights, central heating, and frequent bathing of our parishioners would make that difficult to pull off!). Likewise, this was intended to be an act of authentic Anglican worship, not simply a historical recreation with actors. That is why we intentionally chose to offer Communion to the laity, and to offer it in both kinds, as this is a fundamental element of Anglican worship. Nor did we exclude female servers who form a vital part of St. Thomas’s servers’ guild. The anglo-catholic tradition within Anglicanism is beautiful and historic, and from it has emerged countless missionaries, poets, theologians, and even a saint (Saint John Henry Newman). Anglicanism in general has produced some of the best preachers, musicians, hymns (many of which are sung by Roman Catholics), theologians, and architecture in the world. I encourage you to watch this video with respect for our tradition, even if it is different than yours, and consider the context and purpose for which it was produced. Thank you for watching and commenting.
right, slightly confused- you, an anglican, are claiming st john henry Newman, a convert to catholicism, a saint?
@@elijahwills7331 Hi Elijah, my suggestion is simply that the Anglican tradition has produced a significant contribution to the larger Christian tradition. And that people from many other traditions have been enriched by the contributions made by Anglicans (or, in Newman's case, an Anglican who eventually converted to Catholicism). I was speaking to those on this thread who were saying negative things about traditions other than own, and attempting to suggest that the Anglican tradition is worthy of respect.
@@robertmitchell3253 hello I understand the larger body of your comment, I just fail to see what you mean when you refer to john henry newman as a saint. The process of recognition as a saint is tied up with the holy see, and as you presumably see no primacy of the bishop of rome over the other sees of the world, why would you think that anyone canonized by the pope (at least post-reformation) a saint?
@@elijahwills7331 I think one of the hallmarks of Anglicanism is respect for other traditions. By referring to him as a saint, I am not making any judgement about him. I am acknowledging that his adopted Church, the Catholic Church, has declared him to be so. It's simply a gesture of respect for that tradition and his place within it. To not use the title given to him by his own denomination would seem rather disrespectful, in my opinion. The whole purpose of my original comment was to ask for respect for the Anglican tradition. For me not to offer it for the Catholic tradition would be rather hypocritical on my part!
Very eloquently expressed. Thank you 🙏
This is the Latin version of the mass? I can't tell though.
yes
Miss the high anglican masses
Yes, sadly they are an endangered species. I remember wonderful High Church processions around the exterior of the church on Easter singing Vaughan William’s “Hail Thee Festival Day”. Very inspiring! And the beautiful annual processions at the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham.
I wish this is what the Roman Catholic Church would have gone back to instead of the modern crap we have now. This Anglican church is blessed to have this, and may it continue to be blessed.
I'm a Roman Catholic but I love this liturgical rite because it is very beautiful although it is not a Roman Catholic Service.
Can't love it, it's Protestant. This service is invalid if done in the Protestant Church. If it was Catholic, it would be valid. But the female "servers" need to go. In fact, there was a Sarum Vespers in Philadelphia done with Sarum Use in the Catholic Church and was valid. I really loved it! But if this Sarum "mass" at St. Thomas's Anglican "church" is not in Communion with Rome, it is heretical and schismatic.
Listen to that! If a church doesn't lick Rome's foot, it's full of heretics!! 🤣
@@adamm2693 your funny.
Female altar boys? Delete.
I love the liturgy in the Anglican church.
If you love Anglican liturgy, how about go to an Ordinariate Parish and become Catholic?
@@Thurifer2005 Because some or many of us would disagree with Catholic doctrine itself.
@@adamm2693 why just not admit that Catholic Doctrine is the truth? You know, Anglicans are heretics, right?
"A faithful attempt to portray what Candlemas may have looked like sometime in the early 16th century in an English parish." ...apart from the women in cassock and surplice... and even tunic... just as the first example that stood out... ...and communing in the hand? No.
aleluia.
Beautiful,
I'm Christian orthodox living in the U.K. On Christmas Eve I went to the midnight mass and I got communion i saw non priests and women giving the body and blood of Jesus Christ I directed myself to the bishop and opened my mouth to receive communion while before I made the sign of the cross saying "body and blood of Christ torn up for us in forgiveness of our sins and eternal life Amen" he looked at me as if I was an alien then I took the grail and shipped three times symbolizing the holy trinity the girl wanted to give me the wine something very strange for my understanding of communion, other than that the mass and the music was an incredible experience in very simple manner and language
Good for you for doing it right. I have never been in an Orthodox church that was as informal as what you describe, but I have attended only Orthodox Church of America and Russian Orthodox Church Outside of Russia services, so that might explain it.
Sounds very strange for my understanding! Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me
Anglicans dont have valid holy orders, so it wasn’t really the body and blood of Christ.
@@King-uj1lh First, today's RCC is neither Roman (Rome is now a secular city with the Pope sequestered into his Vatican enclave) nor Catholic (having abandoned the Apostolic Tradition) nor is it a true Church (rather, it is a large neo-pagan cult). Second, the idea of the RCC as the continuing Church is false. After the Great Schism of 1054, the continuing Church was the Orthodox Church because Jerusalem (the East) predated Rome (the West). After the glorious Reformation, the continuing Church was the Reformed Church because the restored ethos (the "solas") of the Apostolic Church predated their corruption by apostate Romanism.
@@annefranciselizabeth3840 bro idc about ur uniformed slander of the true church.
Looks very Catholic-but it’s no where near Catholicism
In fact there was no reformation in the English church. It is still in the darkness of Rome
We consider ourselves to be in the Light of the ancient Tradition. It is the radical protestants who are in darkness.
@@wfcoaker1398 indeed. I've always thought of Anglicanism as a revision. Extreme Protestants are so off their rockers, it's insane.
Actually, not faithful to Sarum at the consecration, the use of female altar servers, communion in the hand and son.
Book of common prayer 1549
Does anyone find it kind of sad that some of these high Protestant Churches look and act more traditional than most catholic parishes nowadays.
Krist-yon Narain Yes....sigh, very sad indeed.
Yes and it's even worse that most Catholics born after the 80's can hardly recognise our liturgy of 500+ years
I like it this way. It emphasises the superiority of Anglicanism and Episcopalianism over the novus ordo 'catholics' and over the erred ways of the overly traditional Tridentine Roman catholics.
I love a well executed liturgy but this has a bit too much hocus pocus for me.
@Traditional Catholicthe Stop blaming Vatican II. The 1962 Roman rite was the mass of Vatican II. 5 years after the close of the council, the church authorized the 1970 Roman Rite which introduced all of the changes in worship.
This is fine as theatre but seems rather boring week after week.
This is so beautiful!
Low Church or High Church refers to ceremonial and fixins not whether Jesus is present in the Holy Eucharist. The words in the liturgy are quite clear that the communicant receives the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. However without making a definition such as Trans- or Con-substantiation or any other theory of Presence.
Cool! (BTW I'm a Traditionalist Catholic)
@Paul Bryan Catolico How dare you! Don't insult Nezuko's religion! Catholics are just as valid as any church. Have some respect!
No recorders, handbells, guitars! Now that Benedict XVI has restored the Tridentine Extrordinary Mass the RC's can once again witness the dignified service that Anglican parishes like this have had!
The Tridentine mass has doubled in the last 10 years from 208 masses in 2007 to 480 in 2017. The splendor of the Church has indeed returned. Deus Vult!!
@@mosesking2923 "Not so fast!" - Pope Francis
So few left in many Anglican Churches the congregation could sit in the chancel/choir and be closer to the service in the sanctuary. But choirs should be "heard and not seen", ie. in the choir gallery usually in the "west end". Healey Willen was a great contributor to the choral settings.
I was there! And I took some pics also! Something unique and historical!
The good news is they have invalid consecration.
As do you, according to Eastern Orthodoxy. Good news too - it would be way worse sacrilege the way communion is treated in Roman Catholicism.
There may be some radical orthodox who hold that opinion, but the majority recognize the validity of Catholic Holy Orders. What is clear beyond any shadow of a doubt is that both the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church in the words of Pope Leo XIIII believe that , " Anglican Orders have always been, and continue to be ABSOLUTELY NULL AND UTTERLY VOID!" Nothing more than pretentious liturgical "drag show" in which overly dressed laymen and women pretend to be priests and play with bread and wine!
@@giovanniserafino1731 the bishop of Rome was excomunicated by the Bishop of Constantinople in 1054. If a priest is excommunicated, his orderes are null and void. The same is true for the bishop of Rome. Your church hasn't had a valid Eucharist since then. A pope got mad at the archbishop of Canterbury and then, in a fit of rage, declared the anglican orders to be invalid. No pope has authority over any church but his. He can't even run his own church so he can stay off of mine.
@@giovanniserafino1731 pope Leo XIIII was a pedophile. He was nothing to us.
Why's this good news? Are you happy?
Surely in the Sarun Rite there were neither female ministers nor servers nor would the people have received Communion in the hand. If recreating such an ancient rite please get it correct!!
It's not about the rite but about the Apostolic Tradition and anglicans fell away from it a few centuries ago.
From someone who was in the congregation: this wasn't a re-creation or re-construction, but an actual celebration of the Mass. We were not pretending to *be* in the 16th century, or passing ourselves off as anything other than members of the Anglican Church of Canada. If we were going for historical reproduction, we wouldn't have received Communion in both kinds either, and indeed there wouldn't be a mass at 6pm to begin with! Communion would also be restricted to those who had been confirmed, and all the priests would be not only men but also unmarried. I am pretty confident that Dean Neelands (a Hooker expert) could comfortably preach in authentic Tudor English but he did not contrive to do so.
If this were a Catholic Sarum Mass none of the protestant anglican liturgical abominations would be present. Like most of "High Church" Anglican worship it's sadly pretentious and is pretty much a " Liturgical drag Show!" As Pope Leo XIII said about Anglican Holy Order, "They have always been, and continue to be ABSOLUTELY AND UTTERLY VOID!"
R W funny that’s exactly what we think of anglicans
@ well this is our mass friend lol Brought to you by the Normans
I made an informal search for the use of the SARUM RITE in the UK away back in 1978. Most clergy and chorister exclaimed it was scarce a usage. I'm glad to hear and see St. Thomas's in Toronto celebrating the Sarum Liturgy.
The consecration is invalid, though, nor the mass is legal.
@@krzysztofkruczynski3789 The mass legal? Then why doesn't the police show up and stop it? Strange wording.
Papist nonconforming heretics waxing triumphant. How boorish. How boring.
Anglicans have separated themselves from all the sacraments a few centuries ago, and one can't simply say that simple lay anglicans are just unaware of the one true catholic faith, when you study the Guy Fawkes case and the persecution of catholics.
You must have forgotten. Back the the masses weren't Invalid and there were not women serving either.
How can you honestly prove that claim?
No female altar servers (it is sacrilege), no women in the quire stalls or anywhere else beyond the rood screen, Holy Communion on the tongue, and no organ in the Sarum Use.
Jacob S Well for a start organs were used in medieval England....
Female altar servers is not a sacrilege for two very important reasons. 1. It is the Anglican Church of Canada which decides who can serve. 2. Galations chapter three says that gender is not important in the eyes of GOD. It's not sacrilege.
@@morganm5370 Yes but not in antiquity. Although the Use of Sarum in Salisbury is not a Gallican Rite but a use of the Roman Rite, it is still distinctly English. And in the ancient English tradition, ac capella was the standard, the use of the pipe organ is an innovation of Roman origin.
@@troyvance9533 Historically, acolytes, where men who had been confered in minor orders. They were, along with cantors, lectors, porters, and exorcists, all men. All the holy orders, both minor and major, are for men alone. This has ALWAYS been the case.
@@JacobSnell1998 I know that. I was in seminary for the Roman Catholic Church.
His Grace Bishop Keith L. Ackerman, retired VII Bishop of Quincy is the vicar of my parish, St. Timothy's Anglican Church, Fort Worth Texas. We have a complete gold vestment set of historically accurate Sarum Vestments. He wears the full pontificals as well.
He's no bishop, because anglicans have invalid sacraments
@@krzysztofkruczynski3789 Says an invalid Romanist.
@@krzysztofkruczynski3789 I love the high-and-mighty "Catholic" way of things. "The only way to salvation is through us, said one of OUR leaders!"
Communion on hand in pre reformation England, rly guys?
Truly beautiful.
English Latin would have been more authentic - no 'loochis'for 'lucis' And what about a troped Kyrie? That was a distinguishing feature of Sarum. And how many parish churches had an organ?
You're right there. I don't know if the Kyrie was troped for ordinary Sundays or Lady Masses, but certainly for a feast like Candlemas. As for English Latin, I'm a big fan of it, but you don't often hear even professional choirs specializing in this repertoire use it - and (while they do know some details), I don't think there's a clear consensus on how exactly it would be pronounced, let alone the fact that (as with spoken English at the time) it would be pronounced differently in York than in Canterbury or London.
Very well done by the parish. Regards from a Catholic friend and brother in Christ. BTW, I was a Franciscan in Assisi in 1966 when there was a first encounter of Anglican and Catholic religious order members, and I helped the Italian friar, Fr. Berardo Capezzali, who hosted the event under that holy bishop of Assisi, Giuseppe Placido Nicolini OSB. The religious were members of different congregations. The Anglicans were all English and the Catholics all Americans ! I still remember an Anglican Franciscan, Fr. Peter, who sadly died some time later (do not remember how much later) and Dom Patrick Dalton OSB of Nashdom. Miss those good brothers in Christ. May God bring us together once again ! God bless our dear Anglican brethren ! Peace and Wellbeing, Pace e Bene, Pax et Bonum.
I went to Assisi twice as part of an ecumenical conference based upon the teachings of Fr. Thomas Berry. My tradition is very High Church Anglican & I preserve these exquisite and endangered traditions in my heart. At the same time I seek to reach out to other “points of Light” with the prayer that together we may change the negative direction of this world and together create a new Garden of Eden where we can glorify the Creator in love and harmony with each other and with great nature. Let us follow the example of both St. Francis and the Jewish tradition of Tikkun to heal this 🌍 world as compassionate and loving stewards.
