    I decided to go through the U.S.A. SSPX chapel directory. Specifically, it was to see if any of the chapels refer to the local (diocesan) bishop. If the chapel had its own website, I linked to that. Here are the results. Please note that, while I provide a link to one specific section of a website or bulletin, I did skim through multiple pages. If I missed something, please let me know.
    Lastly, although not my priority, I did not see links to social media (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Twitter), except for the official SSPX media, if there was a YouTube channel for online Mass streams, sermons, or catechism classes. If I did notice one, it is referenced.
    Conclusion: The North Carolina Mount Holly Chapel is the anomaly regarding the reference to the local diocesan bishop.

    I've been to some of the chapels on your list, and they all have a picture of Prevost (formerly Bergoglio), Pagliarani, and the local Novus Ordo bishop ... in the vestibule.  I could take a picture the next time I'm there, probably Saturday.  They don't typically put them on their websites.

    Leo XIV Grants Apostolic Blessing to FSSPX Chapel in Charlotte

    Pope Leo XIV granted an Apostolic Blessing to Fr John Bourbeau FSSPX and the faithful of the Priestly Fraternity of Saint Pius X (FSSPX) at Saint Anthony of Padua Chapel in Mount Holly, North Carolina.

    The blessing commemorates the 25th anniversary of the chapel’s founding. The Vatican docuмent is dated November 18 and signed by Cardinal Konrad Krajewski.

    The chapel is in the Charlotte area. Many Catholics gather there for Mass because Bishop Michael Martin of Charlotte curtailed most celebrations of the Mass in the Roman rite in diocesan parishes. He now permits the Roman rite only in a single diocesan chapel with capacity for approximately 350 people.

    St. Anthony’s community was formed in the early 1980s and spent 19 years worshipping in various temporary locations, including a private residence, a rented floor of a bank building, and facilities of the Junior League of Charlotte.

    In 2000, community members identified a church building for sale. The first Mass in the new chapel took place on August 22, 2000.

    Due to continued growth, the FSSPX leadership recently authorized a search for new property on which to build a larger church.

    Yeah, anyone can order those.

    • I'm sure I could get one, except I'd be afriad of drawing some diabolical curse on myself.

    They should get the latest updated version ...

    The SSPX chapel I attend does not. Growing up, I never saw any of that at the chapel. Very interesting……

    So ... it may depend on the priest, as some old schoolers may avoid doing that.

    Some may or may not have the photos, but I have always seen the card with the names of the Pope and local bishop to be commemorated during Mass in the various sacristies.

    That's for the Roman Canon

    • This is the Bishop the chapel is desperate to be “in communion” with… this is the man they have on their wall.

    • Post Falls, Aracadia and the seminary in Virginia all have pictures of Prevost. They all had pictures Benny and Frankie as well.

    OK, but that's the only Canon in use in SSPX chapels.

    I've heard that there are SOME SSPX priets who still quietly are non-una-cuм, who say the entire Canon with such "sotto voce" that nobody can tell.  In fact, more and more SSPX chapels have the people standing and singing the Sanctus during the first part of the Canon, where nobody would be able to hear that first part of the Canon.
