This pamphlet, which contains the prayers of the Mass in Latin, enables the students to respond correctly to the prayers of the priest. The Missa Recitata rnet with the hearty approval of all the students. Once a week the students assembled in the chapel for Benediction, and weekly during Lent for the Stations of the Cross.
