You might be curious what a mass looks like at an American National Catholic Church parish. If you are looking for something edgy or different, you will be disappointed. We follow the 2nd edition of the Novus Ordo mass. This is the contemporary mass that has been celebrated since Vatican II in the 1960s within the Roman Catholic Church. Except that we are not using the most recent edition, which is the 3rd edition that was released this century. In other words, we use a form of the mass that Gen X Roman Catholics would be very familiar with, having grown up with in. As an example of a difference, in the current missal the Nicene Creed says Jesus is "consubstantial with the Father," whereas the 2nd edition which we use says he is "one in being with the Father."
If you're really curious, here's a recent mass at one of our parishes for you to view. Like I said, it's a pretty standard mass. One difference you'll notice is the general absolution near the beginning. For us, private confession is optional.
