Thank you for this candid response.  I think this is the answer then.  My husband and I need to make a move for the safety and sanity of my family, but we are not going to uproot just to be left in the same circuмstances we are in now.  The company for which he works could place him in West Virginia without hesitation, but without a Mass to go to we may as well just stay here.  It doesn't make sense to move under these iffy circuмstances.  Thanks so much.

Whereabouts in West Virginia?  Wheeling is at the far northern end of the state, in a bizarre panhandle (an accident of history) that juts up between Ohio and Pennsylvania.  The tip of the Eastern Panhandle, another accident of history, is basically a far exurb of DC.  (People in the DC area sometimes go to heroic lengths, commuting back and forth hours each day, in search of affordable single-family real estate with a patch of land to go with it.  I always preferred to live in more modest accommodations nearer to my work, but everybody's different.)  The rest of the state is basically shaped like an egg.  The nearest TLM to the Charleston-Huntington area is a twice-monthly CMRI Mass in Wheelersburg, Ohio, about an hour west of Huntington going towards Cincinnati, and about two hours from Charleston.  The other options would be Cincinnati or Columbus, or Lexington KY for the FSSP.  It's a desert in those parts.

Fr Carley used to go down to Cross Lanes WV, near Charleston, to celebrate Mass at a fire station on Sunday evenings (not sure if it was every Sunday or just some Sundays).  That went away several years ago.  I went to that Mass one time when traveling through the area.

Father is going to Wheeling still, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't venture farther out.

So sad. You know, once the SSPX controls the chapel, it's gone. Fullerton is salivating over the prospects of selling it to developers.

I have little doubt but that this is the case.  They actually relocated the SSPX chapel (St. Peregrine) from a West suburb of Cleveland to a Southeast suburb that's actually closer to Akron than Cleveland ... so now it's in relatively close proximity to Father Carley's chapel (Immaculate Heart of Mary in Akron).  So I can easily see them just telling people to go to St. Peregrine.  Before it was that St. Peregrine was Cleveland, and IHM was in Akron.  But now St. Peregrine is between Cleveland and Akron and closer to Akron.
