Catholic group looks to form Latin parish

The first time Ashley Paver stepped into St. Mark's Church in Evanston, he knew he'd found the right place.

The tile mosaics, soaring arches, marble steps and lush stained glass windows gave the church the look and feel of an Italian basilica. As he walked through the empty church, Paver could almost hear the Gregorian chants and Latin prayers that defined Catholic Mass for centuries, from the Middle Ages to the 1960s.

He could think of no better place to celebrate that ancient Mass again.
