How many chapels get Sunday and Holy Day Mass? How many have a resident priest? How many have a school? How many would best be described as a "mission Chapel" where the entire property is pretty much a ghost town except for 3 hours on Sunday morning? How many Masses per month at these "chapels"? A chapel with 30 Masses a month (or more) is certainly a bigger deal than a (mission) chapel that gets Mass once or twice a month, or even 4 times a month.

How many of these "chapels" have a website or contact information of any kind? How many have a number where you can reach a priest for Extreme Unction? How many have a regular schedule for Confession?

# of chapels is SO deceiving however.

Some chapels have 30 parishioners, others have 3,000 or more (St. Marys KS).

As you pointed out, FSSP gets full churches that can hold many hundreds -- so the question is, How full do they manage to pack these churches on Sunday?

SSPX sometimes, due to cheapness/re-allocating resources to build "monuments" and other reasons, often chooses to have 2 or even 3 Masses at an overcrowded chapel, rather than upgrade. Along the same lines, the SSPX will often MERGE two or more chapels together, so they can sell the "excess" real estate because they are greedy for money. They are greedy for real estate too, but only because it can be sold for money. Not so it can be used to save souls. Not unless the saving of souls ALSO gives them money and power.

Definitely a lot of focus on fundraising when I dealt with them... Very judgmental. Weren't exactly enthusiastic about catechizing me or anything. Were certainly enthusiastic about my money, though.
