  • I now have two new Roman Missals, one from Baronius Press and The New Roman Missal by Father Lasance which I will never use again for there are no Traditional Roman Catholic Church's near me. The Abbey was my last hope. I will sell the two missals for half what I paid for them.
    It would not be wise to despair. Are you looking only for a Sede chapel, or would you be willing to go to an SSPX chapel if necessary? If you're willing to go to SSPX chapels, depending on where you live, you could go to the mission in Front Royal, Virginia, or to St Anthony's in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Front Royal mission receives priests from the SSPX seminary, so they are validly ordained as of now. St Anthony's receives priests from the Walton priory, which as of now are all SSPX ordained or have been conditionally ordained (Fr Horvath).

    There used to be a CMRI mission that met in a hotel once a month in Christiansburg (later moved to Dublin), Virginia, but sadly that mission ended at the beginning of last year due to failing attendance. There was also a time that Fr Petrizzi from RCI (Bishop Sanborn's group) stopped to offer a Mass in Galax, Virginia last year upon the request of someone in the area, but he has not returned since then. And like 2Vermont said, there's always Fr Ringrose and Fr Ahern's chapels.

    If none of the listed options work for you, you can always reach out to any of the Sede groups or priests and ask if they could send a priest out closer to you (CMRI would probably be your best bet, but you can also try SGG, RCI, and the SSPV/CSPV). You never know, there might be more traditional Catholics than you think in your area that would like a closer Mass option. You likely won't get a Sunday Mass if a priest will fly/drive out to visit, but any day that you can attend the Mass is better than nothing.

    Also, even if Mass is unavailable to you, that is never a reason to get rid of your missals! Ideally, you should be reading them every day, if nothing else reading the daily Mass readings and praying the prayers in the treasury of prayers section. You can even follow along in your missal while watching a Mass livestream.

    Good advice here. It's one of those "where do I begin" situations. Just for starters, one shouldn't despair or give up on being able to attend a Tridentine Mass. But even if you are without Mass options for whatever reason, then you REALLY need a Missal, to help keep Sundays holy, as commanded by God in the Third Commandment. Those without Mass need to read their (traditional) Missal and pray at least on Sunday.

    Where does this man plan to get his Sunday Mass, or his spiritual nourishment in the future? the Novus Ordo? Don't make me laugh!

    Might as well consult one of the Clintons or Jeffrey Epstein on how to be pure. Just not gonna happen.

  • Updates would be very much appreciated. When I was looking for a Mass option over two years ago, I saw Syon Abbey as a potential option that was listed. However, it said it was closed on Google Maps and information on it was incredibly sparse. Thank God that I decided to call and ask about the CMRI chapel in South Carolina instead, even though it was further away.

    If what OP said was true with a priest at the abbey, I certainly will not be making an investigative trip up there. Too many red flags.
    At the advice of the person who is responsible for the Lux Vera Directory, I was first waiting for the OP to update her response to him (as he did in fact report the Abbey to Lux Vera as well).  However, after a couple of days, I see he has not returned to post it (and given he said "goodbye" to the forum, I suspect that he will not). So, I will update.

    She wrote that she asked several priests about the Abbey and its priests.  They knew nothing other than the priests seem validly ordained.  However, she also learned that the response he got in the Confessional is consistent with their position (although she did not say from whom).

    As a result, this location has now been removed from the Lux Vera Directory.

    I do not know what the status is of the Traditio Directory (as I did not write them).  They may have deleted it as well.
