Ave Maria! Found this on Gloria.tv from our Mass in the Lateran Basilica on April 16, 2009, 800th anniversary of the approbation of the Rule of St Francis which took place at … this very basilica. Enjoy!
Highlights from the Solemn High Mass according to the Extraordinary Form, celebrated in Saint John Lateran Basilica, by the Franciscan Friars and Sisters of the Immaculate. All sacred music sung by the Friars and Sisters (Polyphony and Gregorian Chant) This is the first time that the traditional Mass has been celebrated in the pope’s chair since Vatican II.
