I have sole responsibility for care of elderly parents and a minor nephew, autistic, on weekends and major holidays.  My only sibling works on these days. I live and work 80 miles away during the week, 10-12 hour days.  Nobody has money to hire outside help.  As the only practicing as well as traditional Catholic, I haven't been to Mass or received the Sacraments since April.  Bringing my parents or nephew to Church is not possible.  The closest Latin Mass parish will only send one of their "eucharistic ministers," but not on Saturday or Sunday.  In times past, I traveled 85 miles one-way in the opposite direction to Mass.  I've called around to a few traditional chapels, but they all declined due to distance, 90+ miles, and regular obligations.  Any suggestions?

One thing to consider is where do you live?  

I know a number of traditional Catholic who have gone out of their way to help people receive the Sacraments...

Fr. Ortiz from our chapel in Virginia travels once a month to Roanoke which is 4 hours one way.  He also occasionally offers Mass in Buffalo, New York...

Resistance priests and non-dogmatic sede priests like the CMRI or Father Joseph Collins have often also traveled quite a distance to offer Last Sacraments to the dying and occasionally have traveled to offer Masses for Conferences or those who can not regularly receive the Sacraments...

Maybe you take off from work a Holy Day of Obligation like this coming Thursday, the feast of Our Lady's Immaculate Conception?  That way, it will not be on the weekend...

Whether you are able or not able to get a priest to visit you in person, or visit a church during the week at some point... Please know that you shall be in my prayers!

Separation strengthens our love for God, and makes us appreciate His Sacraments all the more when  we are able to receive them.

Keep fighting and may God bless you!  :-)

Don't know if this will help you but Archbishop Lefebvre told the late Hamish Frazier's wife that she could go to the new mass....
