Extraordinary Faith Episode 14: Detroit Part 2 of 2 to Debut on EWTN on Friday, May 4

The second of two episodes of Extraordinary Faith filmed here in Detroit will air on EWTN. Episode 14: Detroit Part 2 of 2 will be shown on Friday, May 4 at 5:30 PM and on Saturday, May 5 at 2:30 AM. As with all episodes, it will be posted for viewing on the Extraordinary Faith YouTube and Vimeo channels and at www.extraordinaryfaith.tv one month after it debuts on EWTN.

Bob Barnhart, Music Director for the Ordinary Form Masses at Old St. Mary’s Church, explains the architectural features and musical and sacramental offerings of the parish. Video segments of the First Friday Tridentine Mass and the choir led by Wassim Sarweh are shown.


St. Edward on the Lake Pastor and longtime Extraordinary Form celebrant Fr. Lee Acervo continues our series of segments introducing various aspects of the Traditional Mass, with an explanation of the first part of a typical Sunday Mass: the Aspérges and the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar. Video snippets from a Mass at St. Alphonsus, Windsor provide visual examples of the subjects he addresses.

Parish volunteer Mike Smigielski takes us on a tour of the glisteningly restored St. Hyacinth Church. He explains how and why the parish began to host periodic Tridentine Masses, as a model of how other parishes might commence similar initiatives.


In the grand setting of Hamtramck’s St. Florian Church, church supplies expert and Detroit Latin Mass pioneer Fr. Mark Borkowski explains the various components of a complete Tridentine Mass vestment set.


Polish American Historic Site Association volunteers Celeste Grabowski and Bob Duda explain how their group took on the staggering challenge of acquiring from the Archdiocese of Detroit, restoring, and operating the once-closed, massive St. Albertus Church, where Holy Masses are once again being held. Roving Tridentine Mass organist Vladimir Vaculik explains how he used creative and inexpensive techniques to repair and restore the pipe organ at St. Albertus that had been non-functional for over 15 years.
