Father Mark entered religious life in March of 1994 and was ordained a priest in October 2003. He grew up in Huntsville Alabama and attended the Colorado School of Mines. He earned a B.S. in Engineering Physics and worked for two years in Huntsville for a small company that specialized in defense contracts for the government. Father Mark is currently the Novice Master and chaplain for EWTN. He is currently host of Life on the Rock.
I recently had the opportunity to interview Fr. Scott Haynes from the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius up in Chicago. Their community has been asked to give a report to Rome about the implementation of the Extraordinary Form of the Mass, the old traditional form of the Mass. Fr. Scott’s community offers both the Novus Ordo (the “new” Mass or “Ordinary Form”) and the Extraordinary Form, as well as providing training for priests to offer the EF Mass. He has a wonderfully balanced and organic understanding of the Mass which comes out in the interview.
