Help chosing a chapel
« on: October 02, 2017, 02:59:23 PM »
So, after much reflection and prayer I've left the novus ordo church. Now I'm in the process of finding a place to go. A search has indicated two chapels near me claim to be "traditional Catholic" , I'm hoping some here may be familiar and offer their perspective.

1. St Mary the Virgin Chapel, Paulboro NJ.

2. Cathedral of Sts. Peter and Paul Hammonton Nj (I have visited this chapel), run by a "Archbishop Sherman Mosley "formerly (?) of the Old Roman Catholic Church.

Any help is appreciated.

I've never heard of either but I would avoid like the plague anything that ever had or has anything to do with Old Catholics.

I don't know your area but for trads, it's quite common to travel 20+ miles one way to get to Church, which might mean you'll need to expand your search area.

Only 20 miles?  Lucky.
We have to go near 200 miles.

While you may be looking for more "do" than "don't", you'd better be sure things like that "formerly" are "currently" at the very least.

mostholyfamilymonastery.com , politics and butt-hurt aside, might know of some places and are roughly in that area.

Yeah yeah, blah blah....

I appreciate all the replies so far. 

I do try to research as much as possible and do have concerns about anything "Old Catholic". I'm willing to travel. Part of my past apprehension was a fear of what would be required of me, but Im ready, and I'm not looking to be told what I may selfishly want to hear.

I'm not above listening to any well researched ideas, I'm just trying to be as prayerful as possible while I reflect on these choices. I'm going to refrain from posting any personal opinions while asking for others.
