All Catholics, myself included who have never stepped foot in a Society church, should be very grateful for the works of the SSPX and Archbishop Lefebrve
As a brazilian it's truly an honor to know that those beautiful stones comes from our lands! In my ignorance, I would've never imagined that the FSSPX would build such a big church in the USA. But what a happy and blessed surprise! May God, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, bless America! That many great amercian saints be the precious stones that shinning in Our Lord's glory light this wretched world we're living in.
That altar is going to be amazing. First time I stepped inside a Cathedral here at home, I ended up being caught in a mass. And became Catholic 9 months later. Praise be God in His love and wonders, like that blue marble.
It's beautiful. Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre said he wanted this place to be a place of pilgrimage and his vision is coming true. God bless you Fr. Rutledge. Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre Ora Pro Nobis.
I wanted to spend a few days there for the consecration but I changed my mind when I realized it would be impossible to find a seat. That's awesome though. We will come out another weekend, maybe this summer.
As the days grow shorter, Let us extend Your light to others. As the days grow colder, Let us warm someone's heart with kind words. As the days slowly pass, Let us run to pick up Your cross. And as the days deepen into a fading year, Let us, this day, bring Your Truth to the surface. Praying for those in purgatory, and all the faithful departed. ♡
This looks, truly, like a beautiful place of worship, contemplation and meeting of Heaven and Earth. I love seeing what has been planned and the great care with which everything was selected. This will be a truly beautiful church.
Love seeing the finished artwork. Thank you, Father, for going into depth on the design decisions and explanations for the altar! This is such a perfect opportunity to educate us all in the reasons for the way Catholic Churches are designed the way they are. Deo Gratias.
My family is looking forward to visiting from Walton, KY. May God bless and grant special graces to all involved in this project - especially the benefactors making this possible.
This is a wonderful design all to the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ. When it is complete I will be making a trip out there from Washington. May God bless the mission of the SSPX.
Its breathtaking ✝️ thanks Father for explaining the altar and the precious stone thats used for it . Christ the King and Immaculate heart of Mary our Queen and Mother 😇🙏
Free standing altar facing toward the East? Hopefully the Priest is always facing towards the East and not the congregation. Hopeful that the tabernacle continues to reside on the altar and that this beautiful church will honor and worship our Lord Jesus Christ in that tradition down through ages and forever. The blue stone for Our Lady...she is most worth it!!! Thank you for give us the tour. God bless.
Free-standing altar =/= Facing the people. There is a long history of free-standing TLM altars. They literally show the tabernacle on the altar in the renderings.
Wow it’s huge! I pray that one day I will be able to travel to the States, with no evil jab, and visit your beautiful church. So wonderful, to see a new church being constructed, instead of the heartbreaking news that churches are falling into disuse.
Thank you Father for the explanation of the color blue. I was thinking Our Lady is also the ark of the covenant and how appropriate for the Holy of Holies.
@kennethvincentacuavera5901 wow I never thought of that. Not precisely connecting the Constance with our Lady I mean, but I knew the Monstrance is special.
"I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass Thy altar, O Lord." (Psalm 25:6 DRV) This seems to indicate that an Altar around which you might be able to walk was not an unheard of thing.
Free-standing altars with a retable were common up to the Reformation. The "Exhumation of St Hubert" (c. 1430s), by Rogier van der Weyden, and the later "Mass of St Giles" (c. 1500), by an anonymous Franco-Flemish painter, show just such an arrangement. The "Mass of St Giles" accurately portrays the sanctuary of the Basilica of St Denis as it was arranged at the time. Both paintings are at the National Gallery, London.
Happy to see that the SSPX is reconnecting to early Church tradition with the freestanding altar. Would be nice to see the return of conical Chasubles also which was the norm until the 13th century when they decided to start cutting the sides (which doesn’t make sense considering the chasuble is a representation of being completely covered in the yoke of Christ)
They have cameras with constant live feed right now, and have the entire site fenced off, as well as all the doors boarded up or bolted shut. There may be more security than that, but that's what I'm aware of at the moment.
Went to visit St. Meinrad in Indiana. In the lobby they have a photo of the altar. They have a photo because they bulldozed it and destroyed it. The day someone can give a good reason why Catholics bulldozed altars is the day I'll consider taking the Novus Ordo seriously. Probability = 0.
The altar was not bulldozed. Part of it was used to create the Tabernacle. The rest is in the St Joseph Chapel. What was bulldozed was the concrete upper level. The entire level was lowered so that the entire church would be on the same level. The original Abbey church had 3 levels. These were reduced to 2 after Vatican II when the high altar was relocated.
A beautiful altar and I would have preferred that the Tabernacle not be placed on it. Is the Novus Ordo mass ever allowed in this church? I also prefer the new mass over the Latin mass although I understand your appreciation of the pre-Vatican II ritual.
What two relics will go in the altar - did I miss that part? I have been watching these videos for more than a year and my favorite part is your construction helmet with the Roman collar on it!
Pushing the altar flush against the wall was never technically correct, since the rubrics for its consecration suppose that the bishop can walk completely around it for the incensation.
Virgin Mary is to be honoured but this building should be called Jesus Christ the Wonder Counsellor. I live in a town in Australia and it has two Catholic Churches neither have the name Jesus Christ in them.
I was really hoping to see a massive knobby gothic altar, or a baldachin like St Patrick’s or even St Peters. For such a massive project this Altar seems underwhelming
I was hoping for the same at first, but a Gothic altar wouldn't have been an option in a Romanesque church anyways. And I think father's explanation is good. There were so many options, and this one isn't a bad choice for the style, and it makes the entirety of the sanctuary the focal point as well as keeping a very practical and traditional altar an option which is what we need. Tradition, practically, and beauty all in one (and perhaps in that order- I'm all for everything being done in that order🙃)
I would politely like to say: looks like pious kitsch to me. Let's see, where have I seen this ecclesiastical poor taste expressed before? Oh, I know: in every European-American Catholic immigrant church building of the 19th century. I am soooo tired of the same old, same old.
All Catholics, myself included who have never stepped foot in a Society church, should be very grateful for the works of the SSPX and Archbishop Lefebrve
Thanks to the SSPX for basically building THE traditionalist Basilica! Thank you for making NEW PATRIMONY for all of us Catholics.

Only The Mass of All Ages will ever be said in this holy place.
So exciting! I cannot wait to visit! Beautifully said that the blue of Our Lady’s mantel will envelop the altar of her Son.
Indeed!! Amen!!!
AMAZING! God Bless the Priests of the SSPX. You have SAVED many souls and the Traditions of Holy Mother Church. Deo Gratias
As the days grow shorter,
Let us extend Your light to others.
As the days grow colder,
Let us warm someone's heart with kind words.
As the days slowly pass,
Let us run to pick up Your cross.
And as the days deepen into a fading year,
Let us, this day, bring Your Truth to the surface.
Praying for those in purgatory, and all the faithful departed. ♡
Wow its been built already.. Nice and enormous Church, may His Church grow even more and spread the beautiful tradition through SSPX
To the Glory of God the Father, the Altar is Beautiful.
I have no words how beautiful this church is (even unfinished) and would love to attend a Tridentine mass there. God bless!
Przyszedłem oglądać amerykański gmach kościelny a znajduje tradycjonalistów z Polski...
Beautiful! I can't wait to take my family on a pilgrimage to see it.
No words. It's going to be absolutely stunning!!!
Fantasic! I love it and so will Our Lady! So grateful for this!
This looks, truly, like a beautiful place of worship, contemplation and meeting of Heaven and Earth. I love seeing what has been planned and the great care with which everything was selected. This will be a truly beautiful church.
It is so beautiful! A fitting tribute to our good God and His Blessed Mother.
🙏🙏🙏🇮🇪
Beautiful, just beautiful, thank you almighty God, thank you! ❤❤❤
What a beautiful Church. So thoughtfully done. I am from NYC so it is a long way to visit. May God bless and use your parish for his Glory
I pray I make it here one day!
God bless you and all who are a part of building this. Praying for it to be built quickly

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!thank you for keeping us updated. God Bless and our Lady keep you always and all the workers working on The Immaculata.
What a wonderful explanation of the altar.
Absolutely gorgeous Sacrificial Altar to Honor Our Lord Jesus with. Very much reminiscent of something Michael Angelo would have come up with 🙏
If God is willing. I will be there when it Celebrates it's first MASS . 🙏🏼
This is a wonderful design all to the glory of Our Lord Jesus Christ. When it is complete I will be making a trip out there from Washington.
May God bless the mission of the SSPX.
It's a beautiful church.
Absolutely stunning. Thank you Father for sharing
Excellent, I love the choices for the altar here. Appropriate and beautiful.
Its breathtaking ✝️ thanks Father for explaining the altar and the precious stone thats used for it .
Christ the King and Immaculate heart of Mary our Queen and Mother 😇🙏
Thank you for that detailed explanation. What a glorious design. Just beautiful! ✝️❤️
Free standing altar facing toward the East? Hopefully the Priest is always facing towards the East and not the congregation.
Hopeful that the tabernacle continues to reside on the altar and that this beautiful church will honor and worship our Lord Jesus Christ in that tradition down through ages and forever.

@@westtex3675 Altars built under a baldacchino are generally against the wall.
Trent even ask for Free standing altars
Wow it’s huge! I pray that one day I will be able to travel to the States, with no evil jab, and visit your beautiful church. So wonderful, to see a new church being constructed, instead of the heartbreaking news that churches are falling into disuse.
I look forward to seeing it. Thank you for your devotion.
LONG LIVE MARCEL LEFEBVRE !🙏💪👍🙏

Thank you very much, Father.
BEAUTIFUL!
Beautiful! I hope one day to visit. Appreciate the instruction as well and for pointing out what is significant and necessary for an altar.
The priest's hardhat also having a clerical collar got me.
Deo gratias. Beautiful in every way. One day I hope to visit from Australia 🇦🇺
"I will wash my hands among the innocent; and will compass Thy altar, O Lord." (Psalm 25:6 DRV) This seems to indicate that an Altar around which you might be able to walk was not an unheard of thing.
So excited to see the completion. God Bless.
Praise the Lord! I hope to visit! Magnificent!
I hope this church have a lot of icons.
God bless you🙏🙏
What a great Catholic construction foreman.
Gorgeous.
I hope Archbishop Naumann is invited; it would be wonderful to have him there to bless the new church
Deus Meus Et Omnia !!! ✝️
Ave Maria Gratia Plena Dominus Tecum !🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
I better get my suit cleaned!
Simply beautiful
Glorious.
Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue.
The main altar fits those bridal codes well, metaphorically speaking. 👰
Soo beautiful.
How beautiful.
I know so little. I was questioning to myself, "why no high Alter"? Now I see this Alter is very very special.
That is a very large church for a very small town .
We will be leaving the Sonoran desert of Mexico 🇲🇽 on voyage to see Our Lady in Kansas.
It’s going to be exciting to see in person. Hopefully I’ll be one who does 😇
Beautiful!

Some still use them for Low mass
Hope to visit some day !
I am curious. Forgive me. Will there be any kind of security on site, given the expensive nature of the materials used in the building of the Church?
They have cameras with constant live feed right now, and have the entire site fenced off, as well as all the doors boarded up or bolted shut. There may be more security than that, but that's what I'm aware of at the moment.
Once the church is complete and open to the public, I'm sure there will be a relatively elaborate security system.
Went to visit St. Meinrad in Indiana. In the lobby they have a photo of the altar. They have a photo because they bulldozed it and destroyed it. The day someone can give a good reason why Catholics bulldozed altars is the day I'll consider taking the Novus Ordo seriously. Probability = 0.
They said our local church had a wood carved altar - old church gothic style built over 100 years ago. They said it burnt - only the altar burnt .
The altar was not bulldozed. Part of it was used to create the Tabernacle. The rest is in the St Joseph Chapel. What was bulldozed was the concrete upper level. The entire level was lowered so that the entire church would be on the same level. The original Abbey church had 3 levels. These were reduced to 2 after Vatican II when the high altar was relocated.
They prolly burnt it out in the yard just to get rid of it.
So sad seeing the high altar removed from the inside of the Novus churches
So if seems like your main problem is just aesthetics?
Wow what a building!!
A beautiful altar and I would have preferred that the Tabernacle not be placed on it. Is the Novus Ordo mass ever allowed in this church? I also prefer the new mass over the Latin mass although I understand your appreciation of the pre-Vatican II ritual.
When is this church to be inaugurated? I will drive the 1000 miles to be present
Good.
Very impressive
What two relics will go in the altar - did I miss that part? I have been watching these videos for more than a year and my favorite part is your construction helmet with the Roman collar on it!
Beautiful
can i have the name of the book at 4:48 ?
This looks so amazing
I wonder if chandeliers will be used in the church for the lighting fixtures. Unfortunately, they have been removed from many of the older churches.
Impressive.
Pushing the altar flush against the wall was never technically correct, since the rubrics for its consecration suppose that the bishop can walk completely around it for the incensation.
Can't wait to visit from Wichita
what is address of this great Church
St Mary's, Kansas.
The project of the church is great, but it's sad that the altar won't have a canopy. It would be perfect for this free-standing altar.
SSPX !🙏💪👍🙏
Is this going to be an SSPX church?? I hope so
Yes, this is an Sspx church!
❤❤❤
👍🙏⛪
Deo gratias
You're 'building' a Catholic Church?
Virgin Mary is to be honoured but this building should be called Jesus Christ the Wonder Counsellor. I live in a town in Australia and it has two Catholic Churches neither have the name Jesus Christ in them.
AGREE! Most of the diocesan cathedrals in my country (Indonesia) have the name Mary. We need more titles-oriented churches of our Lord!
Mary is the church therefore most churches name after her.
I was really hoping to see a massive knobby gothic altar, or a baldachin like St Patrick’s or even St Peters. For such a massive project this Altar seems underwhelming
I was hoping for the same at first, but a Gothic altar wouldn't have been an option in a Romanesque church anyways. And I think father's explanation is good.
There were so many options, and this one isn't a bad choice for the style, and it makes the entirety of the sanctuary the focal point as well as keeping a very practical and traditional altar an option which is what we need. Tradition, practically, and beauty all in one (and perhaps in that order- I'm all for everything being done in that order🙃)
Big crucifix for a big altar
I pray that the SSPX would be in union with and obey the Vicar of Christ, the visible head of the Church, the Pope.
What successor of the aposlte has given you permission for this?
These Traditions are not really old. It dates back to middle ages and not apostolic times
Pews were not used. Men and women have been seperated. At the 6th Ecumenical Synod it was forbidden o depict Christ like a lamb
vgh, the mcmansion cathedrals of america.....
I would politely like to say: looks like pious kitsch to me. Let's see, where have I seen this ecclesiastical poor taste expressed before? Oh, I know: in every European-American Catholic immigrant church building of the 19th century. I am soooo tired of the same old, same old.
You honor more mary human that Jesus.
Mary is not sinless, in of a savior
Jesus is sinless & the savior.
