    Hello.  It's nice to have you here.  What city is there at about 45 minutes from you?  Certainly an Eastern Rite Catholic church would be much preferable to the Novus Ordo.  Perhaps there are some there.  I could have a look around.  Ukrainian Catholic churches are especially plentiful in Canada.
    We're in Manitoba. I don't really want to disclose where we live exactly, but we're basically in the middle of nowhere. There is a Ukrainian Catholic Church 1.5hr away but my husband doesn't want to make the drive as gas is pretty expensive.

    Waving hello from Alberta :cowboy: If you ever visit Winterpeg, there is an SSPX priory there. Better than almost nothing.

    I would suspect though that Divine Liturgies in your area MIGHT (I hope not) be that good. I judge from one I attended in Winnipeg when I was there. Awful, just awful. Things should be better in the country though.

    Hi, I'm around 4hrs from Winnipeg. I'm more North. If we're ever in Winnipeg, I would make it a priority to visit one. A family at my mass (Vietnamese) refuses Communion because they can't take it on the tongue, which I expect them to be able to once restrictions are lifted more. I think my mass has some potential, like the priest will speak in Latin. There are no Eucharistic Ministers. Though, the music is kind of cringey.

    • As recently as 5 years ago Vietnamese Catholics were still pulled from Mass to have boiling water poured down their throats.

    • Well, there are literally a dozen Ukrainian Catholic churches in Winnipeg.  But that's 4 hours away.  I don't see anything too far north of there.  You may want to look around for some other Eastern Rite church near you:  Byzantine, Maronite, Melkite, something along those lines.

    Unfortunately, he can do the whole rite in Latin and it still wouldn't be a "Mass" in the traditional sense because of the substantial differences between the Novus Ordo rite and the Tridentine rite. But, that's not what this thread is for.

    Welcome!

    • Welcome FarmerWife. Good to have you here. May God reward your search richly. Drop in to the ladies' lounge once in a while. Though you will have to get yourself one of those little pink symbols first.

    Wow, that's really north. We're around the Ste Rose du Lac area. So our summers are pretty hot but we got alot of snow this year, we got stuck a few times and couldn't make it to mass.

    I spent a year as a lay apostle with the SSPX in Winnipeg more than a decade ago. The winter was deliciously cold that February (lot of -35 C mornings). It got to minus 45C outside of the Peg the one night I was taken up in a plane owned by one of the parishioners who was a chopper pilot for the RCAF. The same summer saw a humidex temp of 48C. God be thanked for AC and Slurpees!!!! :cowboy:

    Stay toasty!

    I was at STAS (Winona, MN) and we had one week where it was -40F with highs around -20F for an entire week.  I walked outside out of curiosity, and it felt as if the air had liquified (thick somehow).

    Then I think of that city in Siberia that gets to -70C. That is another level of cold. 

    We keep sending MN cold air via the Alberta Clipper. :cowboy: But the Polar Vortex (or the Siberian High as it was called when I was a little bear cub) does give us those cold crisp lung freezing days.
    One ache creating problem living not far from the Alberta Rockies is the wild temperature swings, to whit we are still getting this into the beginning of spring. 66F yesterday, low 30s today. My poor knees are killing me!

    Hi thank you. Sorry, I don't know how to get that.
    You will need to go into your profile and write female where it says gender.
