First
Solemn High Mass of Fr. Michael Hendershott Holy
Ghost Church (Knoxville, TN) - June 28, 2015 Photography by
Roy Ehman This Mass celebrated by
Fr. Hendershott in the extraordinary form on the day following his
ordination, and accompanied by the Knoxville Latin Mass Schola
singing the Ordinary in the choral setting of Mozart’s Missa Brevis in G, was a significant event in the life of the
Knoxville Latin Mass Community. As a high school student back in 2005, he
served our very first indult Mass in Knoxville which was celebrated by Fr.
John Orr, who stood as the assistant priest at Fr. Hendershott’s
side as he himself celebrated the traditional Latin Mass for the first time.
