2. Introduction
 As a Catholic priest at the Diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma,
Father Jeff Fasching ministers to the third-largest
Hispanic population in the city. Previously a minister in
Springfield, Missouri, and an associate pastor in Wichita,
Kansas, Father Jeff Fasching is currently responsible for
teaching, prison ministry, and exorcism ministry. In
addition to these responsibilities, FR. Jeffrey offers Mass
in Latin, the extraordinary form of the Catholic rite.
Based upon the Missale Romanum of 1570, the
extraordinary form of Catholic Mass is also known as the
Classical Rite or the Traditional Latin Mass. Administered
completely in Latin, the extraordinary form was codified
at the Council of Trent.

3. Catholic Mass
 Today, the form follows the 1962 Missal of Blessed
Pope John Paul XXIII and the Second Vatican
Council. The form differs from the more widely-used
Ordinary Form of Mass in that it has its own unique
liturgical calendar, readings, and utilizes the Roman
Canon exclusively. The more recent ordinary form is
based on the 1969 Missal of Pope Paul VI.
One benefit of the extraordinary form is that it
enables Catholics to connect with the heritage of
their church. Additionally, Catholic teaching
maintains that the faith cannot be exhaustively
expressed in any one liturgical tradition.
