Here in Wisconsin I've been going to an SSPX chapel 35 minutes away for two years. This weekend me and my son are going to check out St. George Melkite Byzantine Church in Milwaukee on our way to have a boy's day. Otherwise, everything else, including two sede chapels and Byzantine churches are over 2 hours.

In North Carolina, its a wasteland, truly. Nearest SSPX chapels are close to two hours from where we will be looking to live. A Byzantine church anywhere from 45 minutes to an hour 1/2, depending on where we get a house; and then the one sede chapel you suggested would be 4 1/2 hours. The Maronite Church would remain within 20 minutes to an hour, again, depending on where we get a house.
Nah.  I'm pretty sure I've got you beat in Vermont.  Hence our monthly trips to a sede mass 4+hours away.

You sure do. I had to take a look on Google maps and it's more of a desert there than here or NC!

Why on earth would you move from Wisconsin to the NC?? Idk why anybody would move to the Coasts if they had a choice, discounting Alaska, of course.
Climate, we like the area, I have a job there, my wife's parents are moving there, her brother and sister-in-law live there, even my parents will be moving down there once my dad is better. Plenty of reasons, really.

Ordained by Bp. John George Chedid, consecrated by Nasrallah Boutros Cardinal Sfeir, all Melkite, so the orders are good.
They're Maronite not melkite Sfeir is the last Maronite patriarch



Also Ladislas
Mitch pacwa is originally Maronite, not Latin, pretty sure he never transferred to the Latin rite even as a Jesuit, not all Jesuits change rites

I guess. If I could afford it I would be back up in Alaska and say goodbye to the lower 48 for good.
