I found the internet site of a church I think I may try on Sunday, and I do not know the difference
msabeln says

That is no longer a current distinction with contemporary Masses.
msabeln says

The old Latin Liturgy does make the distinction, like where I go to church.

A Low Mass is spoken, usually inaudibly.

but there is a difference in the Traditional Latin Mass.

A Low Mass might be a half hour long.
DominiSumus says

High Mass is sung.
msabeln says

A High Mass is sung. It can last 1 and half to two hours or longer.

It is likely that they mean the Mass at which the choir sings

What parish are you thinking of?

St. Francis de Sales

Low Mass is spoken and quick, while High Mass is chanted and very elaborate.
DominiSumus says

that seems to be an amazing place. I wish I lived close enough to go there.
msabeln says

If you visit, be sure to go after Mass into the church basement. Talk to anyone who appears to be in charge.

The priest will eventually get down there, but it takes him a while.
msabeln says

They have a coffee hour after Mass.

You can't miss the priest - he wears a black cassock.

And donuts, bagels, and juice.

If you go there do not be surprised to see many of the ladies with chapel veils on
JlovesR says
15 years ago
it is traditional to cover your head but it is not mandatory
msabeln says

Some of the younger ladies wear hats.

I will show you a picture of a cossack
DominiSumus says

it's a black robe which resembles a dress.
msabeln says

Except it isn't form-fitted.

My papa who was from France and was of an age to remember before Vatican II said that there was nothing so beautiful as a High Mass.
