I received this nice note by e-mail from Fr. Gregory Lockwood (edited):
Greetings from the Archdiocese of Saint Louis; [THERE WERE PHOTOS… but embedded in the e-mail and too time consuming for me to edit and then upload to my own server]
Assumption is a ‘70’s church, so we had to make some accomodation to the architecture-not enough steps, so we used the first pew as the communion rail; my pastor got the altar moved back two feet in DecemberSo we could get in front of it (note the beautiful new granite floor-it was ugly wine-colored carpet before). The attendance for this particular mass was on par with our other holy day novus ordo (English) masses-
We had close to three-hundred people in attendance. We begin weekly sung masses January 13th, on Sunday afternoon (so as not to interfere with the regular Sunday schedule), as well as holy days.

I'll have to get back to you on this one. . . .my Aunt actually goes to this Church and she may be able to give me some insight. . .or maybe not ;)
Fr. Lockwood has assisted several times at the Tuesday Mass in honor of our Mother of Perpetual Help at St. Francis de Sales...so we know where he learned the Mass :-)
Thanks-- the story is updated above.
