    • Merry and Blessed Christmas to everyone (albeit a bit early) ... as I'll be headed to Midnight Mass.

    One of these years, when the kids are older (grown up and out of the house), I'm going to make the circuit below.

    12/24
    --9 AM (Fr. Carley -- Independent)
    --11 AM (SSPX)
    --10 PM (Maronite) (they count that for Christmas)

    12/25
    --12 AM (SSPX)
    -- 8 AM (SSPX)
    -- 9 AM (Fr. Carley) ... this one I'd be late for but could at least make the consecration/Canon
    -- 10 AM Maronite ... again, would be late but make it for Canon
    -- 1 PM ... (other SSPX)

    So 8 Masses ( with 2 of them just making the Canon ) in 2 Days.  We're definitely blessed around here in NE Ohio with many options.  There are in fact numerous others.  CMRI (with Daily Mass) in Akron, MULTIPLE Byzantine and Ukrainian Rite churches, SSPV not TOO far way, Fr. Carley (independent), 2 different SSPXs, one 45 minutes, 1 30 minutes away, and a couple different Maronite churches also.

    Now, normally one would have to worry a bit about Maronite, except that it depends on the priests, and there's a very conservative (Traditional-leaning) ChorBishop at the shrine there (that's an Auxiliary Bishop), where he offers the Divine Liturgy ad orientem with minimal funny business, and he even gave the keynote talk for Michael Matt's "Unite the Clans" conference either last year or the year before.

    Father Carley had a bit of a health scare last year, but he's back to his schedule, at the age of 90.  In fact, he's also going to Wheeling, West Virginia every Sunday (and will also tomorrow), a 2.5-hour drive ... and HE MAKES THE DRIVE HIMSELF.  Several of those who attend IHM in Akron have offered to drive him, but he insists on driving himself.  We're pretty concerned about his making that trip, but he's stubborn that way ... kindof like my father was in his early 90s, where he did all kinds of things he shouldn't have.

    But God bless Father Carley ... still offering daily Mass.  I think in the 35+ years I've been going there, he's maybe missed two months worth of daily Masses, and those were due to hospitalizations.  Other than that, I don't think run-of-the-mill illness could ever keep him down.

    • We had Matins starting at 9:00 PM, Holy Christmas Mass starting at 12AM veneration of the Babe and some Holy relics ( crib , Mary's Veil) and then Lauds, all sung by the beautiful Sharpe family and guests.
    Transcendent is all I can say.
    Merry Christmas to everyone on Cathinfo( Mater Dominici - the choir was phenomenal!)
