which I interpreted as an ironic pun and smiled. It's not supposed to be funny! It took me several minutes to "get" that. Nostalgia for high masses and failure to get good jokes. I must really be getting old.

"To conclude the Mass the priest says "Ite, Missa est" (Go, the Mass is ended) To which the people reply "Deo gratias" (Thanks be to God)" When assisting Father Normandin that was always my favourite part. His latin was bad and his singing horrible but he used to let us smoke and we really liked him. "The most known among the older traditional priests in Canada is, without doubt, Father Yves NORMANDIN. He was ordained a priest in 1953. Pastor of Sainte-Yvette parish in Montreal, he resisted the modernist wave, keeping faithfully the traditional Mass of all times. Until the day when Archbishop Paul Grégoire, of Montreal, felt it his duty to call the public forces to expel the pastor out of his parish. Father Normandin then continued to resist elsewhere, organizing mass centres, first in Montreal, then all over Canada, from coast to coast, from Nova Scotia to Vancouver island. In the West, he met also another pioneer: Fr. Paul Grueter. One must also make mention of Father J. Réal BLEAU, ordained a priest in 1943, who, like Father Normandin, fought the good fight for Tradition and against the conciliar revolution until 1984. Unfortunately, Father Normandin did not choose to carry on that good fight. After nine years of heroic and tiring apostolate for the Catholic traditionalists, he, and Father Bleau fell in the trap of the “Indult Mass” in 1984, “coming back” into the conciliar church the year after Pope John Paul II visited Canada [1]. Nevertheless we cannot deny that they, and especially Fr. Normandin, contributed to maintain the Catholic Faith and Tradition in Canada and to prepare the way for the Society of St Pius X."
