Have you looked into video game religious music for inspiration? The Hymn of the Fayth was profoundly moving to me, but that might be because Final Fantasy X was such a big part of my youth. It ain't a mass, but it has a certain solemnity and implied tradition that moves me.

For me it was just the piece itself, and the way they changed the flavour of it for the different temples and whatnot. Basically I think that personally I could get away with 'music composed in the style of religious choral pieces' .

Just remembering it makes me wish I could track down a longer/more complete version of it. I would totally listen to a canon or whatever of it.
