Installation of the High Altar at Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church

- In this video we install a 150-year-old High Altar, refinished for Saint John the Baptist Catholic Church in Cabot, Arkansas.
Spoiler Alert: It all goes smoothly. No drama. Just beauty and loving teamwork.
St. Joseph, pray for us. Holy Mother of God, watch over us, your children in Christ. Amen.
At Latin Rite Restoration, our mission is to first restore a 150-year-old Catholic high altar for use by our Traditional Latin Mass congregation. We are skilled armatures who were blessed with the ability to do this for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, to minister to His people, and bring souls into the Kingdom of God.
We rented a shop, moved in, and started chemically stripping the pieces in April, 2022, and the rest is ongoing. During this process you will see us fill, sand, fabricate, spray paint, faux finish, gold leaf, and much, much more. When this restoration is complete, we will transition into fabricating matching pieces, like an ambo/lectern and altar rail system from scratch. Check out our video showing the CAD model which we will then translate into reality utilizing a CNC router and the same faux finishing processes we’re using throughout the High Altar complex.
And there will be more. We will then create a 10-foot high crucifix for above the high altar complex, refurbish pews, and then move on to beautifying the interior of the church, Lord willing.
Whew, that’s going to be a lot of work, and it will take a few years, so come along with us on this journey.
Our ultimate goal is to inspire others in the Traditional Latin Mass community to use modern techniques to create beautiful, cost-effective sanctuaries for the worship of our Blessed Lord. What do you know, maybe we’ll go into business providing materials, furniture, rails, and objects for others in the TLM community. We’ll see.
In Christ,
The Latin Rite Restoration Team

Beautiful this is exactly what we need in our Church’s less Cranmer tables more high altars to glorify our lords sacrifice !!! May god bless you guys
The Novus Ordo is valid and, the primary mass for the Latin rite.
Never said it wasn’t
I am at a loss for words with the beauty and craftmanship for which this is done. In time for Easter Sunday mass. Well done.
Wonderful! Our small church was built in the late 1800's and had a beautiful high altar at one point, now all gone. I just have a hard time understanding what was going through peoples minds as they were removing these.
Perhaps a large percentage of Catholics leading up the the 1960's had slid away from true devotion to the faith while simultaneously remaining loyal to the social and institutional aspects of the church. In other words, they were loyal Catholics rather than faithful Catholics. Please don't think I mean everyone. It's hard to explain how the church leadership pulled off the Novus Ordo switcharoo without massive pushback at the congregational level. Honestly, there should have been massive protests in the aisles. But no. The masses simply went along with the changes made by their "leaders". So in the end, the problems of the church are the fault of We The Congregation for accepting false teachers. I used to blame the "Purple Mafia", the Jesuits, and so forth. No more. They are merely giving the congregations what they want, by and large. This is my opinion. Sorry to paint with a broad brush. I can't make sense of it otherwise.
I so much wish there was a Latin Rite church near me. I miss it so much.
Aren't most Churches Latin Rite?
Good to see altars put in facing God and not the people...
Beautiful. May Our Blessed Lord be honored in all our churches.
Amen. We are here to worship the Lord in a manner most pleasing to Him. Let us rejoice.
Wunderbar! In Deutschland kaum möglich!
Gott segne Euch! ✝️🙏🏻💖
Wir glauben, dass dieser Altar Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Vereinigten Staaten von deutschen Handwerkern hergestellt wurde. Gott segne.
Geben Sie Google Translate die Schuld, wenn dies nicht klar ist. LOL.
Beautiful work.......thank you for all your videos. Prayers to you!
Beautiful thank you for working so hard on our altar. The video doesn’t show how beautiful it is in person. We are so blessed to how the altar.
Beautiful, as it should be for our Lord.
Thankyou, absolutely beautiful, love the TLM ✝️🙏😇💕
WOW. It’s as should be. And Father is helping. Makes s me cry when I think of what was done after V2. My parents and grandparents hard earned $ towards the building funds and alter and communion rails which were ripped out. I hate IKEA tables
I was transported back to my youth when all churches had such altars. What we have been missing for 60 years we can never recover and the church is the worse for it. Thank you all for what you have done to glorify God.
It saddens me when you say "What we have been missing for 60 years we can never recover and the church is the worse for it", because our church's existence is proof to the contrary. We the congregations need to simply work to restore the church in spite of obstructions and protests from modernist clergy. Ignore them, and be as Catholic as you can be. Let's show the modernists what a Catholic is through our deeds. Let them talk. Let us work.
Man's best all to the glory of God! May all the holy sacrifices of Holy Mass said on this altar call down God's mercy and forgiveness on our sinful world. God bless the FSSP and ICKSP!
Amen, God bless the FSSP and ICKSP.
Wow Blessed be God forever waiting for the lord to give us one too here in India
I am from India, living in US. There are two extremes in US. A lot people are very faithful and full obedience to Jesus Christ and to the Church handed down since Ages. After Vatican 2, all abominations have crept up. India Bishops and priests are in tune with the modern life and changes and every thing goes.
While I am India, I do not receive Holy Eucharist, as first of all I cannot Jesus kneeling in Reverence and tongue and secondly there is no one to hold Paten to hold under the chins of the recipients. There are lot pieces of Jesus flesh and blood fallen on the ground which I am not willingly trample on and desecrated.
God Have Mercy on Us.
This makes me so happy! Beautiful work.
Breathtakingly beautiful!!
Glad to have found this channel. God bless you all.
Beautiful
"Et introibo ad altare Dei: ad Deum qui lætificat juventutem meam."
"How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts!"
I am crying as they place the veiled Ciborium inside, for God is once more with His people and in His House built reverently and with love for His Name.
SO BEAUTIFUL!
BEAUTIFUL 🙏♥️🙏
It's so beautiful!
Incredible
Simply beautiful. As a carpenter it brings tears to my eyes and I hope j can work on a project like this before I pass into eternity . If is GOD'S will
Beautiful.
We appriciate you all .Adveniat Regnum Tuum
Stunning ❤
Thank you so much. It looks fabulous in our church. God bless you.
It is so beautiful ❤Thank you!
Excellent altar.
Beautiful, my parish is FSSP and it’s a wonderful parish.
Parishioners of Our Lady of Sorrows send their regards. Looks great! Happy Easter!
One of the seminarians that helped assemble this with us, seen carrying the tabernacle, is the same man who constructed the high altar at Our Lady of Sorrows. Truly we are sister churches in every way.
Beautiful work!! 🎉
Glory to God in the highest🙏
So beautiful
Amazing work Gary, all our best!
It’s beautiful, all glory to God❤
Whish god are you referring?
❤it's beautiful
Beautiful!
So simple to do, if you have the heart. So beautiful to see altar stone inserted in mensa and Blessed Sacrement placed in tabernacle. Deo gratias.
That church is just outside Little Rock, Arkansas if I'm not mistaken!
Yes, just north of Little Rock about 20mins drive on the highway is Cabot, where St John the Baptist is located.
i remember the days when ugliness and banality was not a virtue. when we tried to make a church beautiful because beauty was an attribute of God, and a Church was God's House, and we had some piety and reverence when we were in there.
Deo gratias!!
Nice Alter 👌
Deo gratias
AMDG!
Forgive me, but it reminds me of the Persian Palaces around Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. Nice to hear Pange Lingua chanted. 😉
Is creation of this new high altar done with the blessing of the Vatican? Or is this something this church is doing in spite of what the Varican might want?
This is the future.
Never. Only a priest can do it.
This is pretty but cannot be marble or granite... either that or you guys are really strong.
Wood painted to look like marble.Very common.Many church floors cannot support marble altars!❤️
Beautiful. I’m curious:
Does the high alter need to be consecrated by a bishop?
Always
@@notyou9743 No, it does not need to be. A Priest can do it. and Priest is consecrated, himself.
Research Society of Saint Pius X
Not in union with Rome. I researched it after seeing the IKEA alter…….
Only a bishop in the Latin Rite can consecrate an alter
His Peace Always
I checked
Incorrect
Only a bishop in the Roman Catholic Church can
The altar stone is what is consecrated, and here is how this works: ua-cam.com/video/7i5RLJfcSx8/v-deo.html
How we can make latin Altar?
Congratulations on the successful completion of the work! Beautiful and on time =) But I didn't understand, is it customary for you to put an American flag in a church?
Yes. And also the papal flag.
@@jmjmrs I thought you, like everyone else, had a church separate from politics. There are icons and crosses in the church. It is good that there is a church in America, but "America" hardly has a place in the church. This flag was on the planes that carried out the nuclear strike on Hiroshima and Nagasaki... in Yugoslavia... Iraq... Syria...
@@user-mk4xc8xn6f Since the founding of the USA, Catholics have had to endure much prejudice and even actual persecution at the hands of the Protestant majority. We were often accused of being unpatriotic because we acknowledged the moral authority of the Pope, a “foreign monarch.” Therefore, American Catholics have long been at pains to express their secular allegiance to the nation; displaying both papal and national flags was one way of showing that both authorities were compatible. Notably, although anti-Catholic sentiment retreated after WW2 and especially after JFK’s election in 1960, it’s rising again-this time powered by the hyper-aggressive atheism of the political Left. That’s why both banners continue to be present in most churches in the USA.
@@doverbeachcomber hyper aggressive atheism of the political left? As well as homosexuals and free choice of gender? God save America!
@@user-mk4xc8xn6f And while we’re at it… a flag is a way of expressing membership in a community. It isn’t a blanket approval of all that anyone has done or said under it. You appear to deplore the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki as blots on our flag. They were ferocious deeds, but they were meant to end the war, and by doing so they saved millions of Japanese and American lives that would have been lost in an invasion of Japan itself. As for the other examples you cite, their rightness is certainly debatable. However, they’re far more recent than WW2, and much of the information we need to form a correct conclusion about them is still concealed by the participants; but even if the USA is definitively proven to have been in the wrong, I’d still display the flag in church, for the reasons I’ve already given.
All wood?
Yes, this is a 150+ year old altar that we have faithfully restored.
0:26 Where can I find this chant recording?
All Gregorian Chants. There are lots. You can recite the Holy Rosary in Gregorian Chant which is solemn and Holy.
This is the best resource we have found: gregorian-chant-hymns.com/hymns-2/
is there a relic placed?
The relic is within the crypt, which is at the heart of the altar stone. Its round seal can be seen clearly as it must face up, and be in close proximity to the offerings. Here is our video explaining how it works: ua-cam.com/video/7i5RLJfcSx8/v-deo.html
@@LatinRiteRestoration Thank you!!!
Going Lutheran. - Altar and Communion Rail.
Definitely not Lutheran. We are Roman Catholics. High altars and altar rails are very catholic in origin, and a feature later borrowed/retained by protestants as they broke off from the Apostolic faith and invented their own, novel forms of Christianity.
@@LatinRiteRestoration The official RCC does not approve of the communion rail they were removed after Vatican II. After the Council of Trent the RCC became a very different church and in the 1800's they put the pope on the same level as the Bible and God. Confessional Lutheranism is much closer to original Catholicism than the RCC is today. There is nothing in the Bible that suggest or promotes Apostolic succession.
Apostolic succession.
@@jacksprattt6396 Jack, you picked the wrong place. Please be respectful and simply enjoy the workmanship without soliciting arguments. UA-cam is full of places to go argue about doctrines. Let's enjoy this time together in context.
@@jacksprattt6396 They weren't removed in existing churches by any official declaration I know of.
My first Roman Catholic church still had a rail even though communion was received in the aisle.
Matt Whitman just did a video visiting a Roman church that still has the rail too.
Where is the Church?
Arkansas state.
We are located in Cabot, Arkansas. God bless.
They do not have lay brothers...
In this video we feature one priest, and two seminarians, all of the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter (FSSP). All godly men. God bless the FSSP. Pray the rosary. Give glory to God.
@@LatinRiteRestoration All my respect for the F.S.S.P. but "fratres coadjutores" would be welcome in their apostolate, I think...
Dank u.
FSSP? We attend OLMC-FSSP Littleton CO. It’s always packed
Yes, St. John the Baptist is a FSSP parish.
