Hello.

I live in the Diocese of San Diego (San Diego County), and I'm a Catholic and I wish to attend the Traditional Mass but I cannot drive and do not have a car and do not know anyone that can take me to Traditional Mass, and there are no Traditional parishes nearby which I can walk to. I'm really desperate to attend the Tridentine/True Mass. I am sick of the Novus Ordo parishes and the New Mass.

So, I wanted to know if there was anyone in this forum that happened to live in San Diego area that would be willing to take me (give me a ride and back home) to the Tridentine Mass, anytime of the day, any day of the week. I can make adjustments. I live near the University of California San Diego campus.

If you are willing to help, contact me at pmhk2589@gmail.com

Thank you,

and God bless.

The CMRI operates a Church on the grounds of the Naval Training Center - so look up the CMRI on the web and you'll find the address.

God has blessed you to be near a CMRI Chapel.

Maybe you should call the closest traditional chapel you wish to attend (maybe the CMRI chapel) and ask them if they could find someone willing to drive you there.

I cannot help you; I live 2,000 miles away.

That is a great idea. I go to CMRI, far far away, and lots of people give others rides.

For Holy Mass, I think it is not unreasonable to call a taxi and go on Sundays.

Univ of San Diego isn't very far at all, almost walking distance, from the CMRI Chapel. At most, it's a couple miles.

On a quiet Sunday morning, a taxi ride would be a worthwhile expenditure.

Thank you all for your replies and suggestions.

Actually, I'm not sure if UCSD is couple of miles away from NTC at Liberty Station. I think it's over ten miles away.

Hello,

Quick statement about myself: if I wanted to go to a Latin Mass I would stay here in North County, at Saint Margaret with "Fr." Wallace. If I wanted a Latin Mass parish staffed by FSSP, I would go to "Fr." Gismondi (?) at Saint Anne's. But I don't want the Latin Mass. I want the Roman Catholic Faith of all time.

My options: since I live in North County, and don't want to burn rubber, money, gas, and oil on my car to get to the 9:00 am Mass with Fr Gerard at CMRI, I take the region's fine public transportation. Sprinter, Coaster, MTS bus #28. Sadly the earliest Coaster train that departs the Oceanside Transit Center is at 8:36am on Sunday morning. It takes ~60min to get to Old Town Train Depot. It's impossible to get to CMRI on time for Mass. My other option? SSPX at 4:00pm in the same Naval Training Center Church building in Point Loma.

Do you live in Mira Mesa? Assuming that you do, according to MapsDotGoogleDotCom, take bus #20, Green Line (the Santee trolley) red trolley to Old Town Train Depot, then MTS bus #28 to Roosevelt rd bus stop. You will walk 1 block to Church.

For Holy Days of obligation -- usually on weekdays -- take public transportation, which starts early at 4:00am, to CMRI's National City chapel owned by a good man by the name of Louie and his son Louie Jr.

For a regional day pass I pay $12. Round trip.

I did a Google Maps search for Mira Mesa to Old Town, and the earliest possible arrival was 9 and change. Your best bet is with the SSPX at 4:00pm. It's good and all but the only displeasing thing I have found is that after the Mass the congregation starts praying for Anti-pope Francis.

One last thing on sacraments: since you're coming from a strange and apostate religion that's foriegn to the Catholic mind, you must Confess your sin of participating in or attending a non-Catholic worship service to either the sspx or cmri. Before receiving Holy Communion you must let Father know about this so he he can give you First Communion and perhaps a conditional Baptism.

Good luck and welcome home.

There is no need for a conditional baptism.

I've never set foot in California but I heard Fr. Trinh used to be the SSPX priest there before he joined the CMRI, so maybe you'll be seeing more of him in the near future.

FSSP is Catholic in appearance but Novus Ordo in doctrine. I think one of the anti-Catholic heretics from "Catholic" Answers goes there. I'd only stick to the SSPX/CMRI. After listening to +Fellay's sermon denouncing Francis as a modernist I wouldn't be surprised if they go sede in the next few years. That rumored Ratzinger schism won't happen.

As for praying for his supreme ambitious humbleness goes:

Love your enemies: do good to them that hate you: and pray for them that persecute and calumniate you... Matthew 5:44

At my SSPX chapel they usually just announce "prayers for the Holy Father". They don't specifically mention prayers for his intentions. So, since he's recognized as "Holy Father" by the majority of people in the world, I usually pray for his conversion. Like it or not "Holy Father" is the title he usurped and is associated with, it doesn't necessarily mean you recognize his authority.

If you have the time do yourself the favor of a lifetime and go on a 5-day Ignatian Retreat given by the SSPX. It's a lot better than a week long vacation in the Caribbean I assure you.

Sorry for the double post but I meant to write "Holy Father is the title he usurped".

Even after I edit the post the word "title" doesn't appear.

Thanks for all of your posts.

I didn't realize that there were lot of Sedevacantists in this forum. lol.
