You might want to consider visiting Fr. Perez in Garden Grove at Our Lady Help of Christians, he should be willing to answer any questions or concerns you may have.

I do hope that others will be able to support you in your endeavor, though there may not be any others from this forum that will do so, even though Bishop Williamson has said that it would be a mistake to think that there is no faith left in the Novus Ordo.
There, of course, is a lot of faith left in the Novus Ordo, unfortunately ( or fortunately depending on the perspective) it is despite the Novus Ordo and the very questionable Sacraments.
It was my understanding from Bishop Williamson that at an earlier time, due to some clergy still having the residual of the old rite of ordination and Bishop's consecration ,  the sacrament may very well have been confected in the NO. But as time goes on, the new rite of the Episcopacy  (installation) did not give the Bishop the right to ordain. As time passes there are probably few if any men of valid consecrations/ ordinations left in the Consiliar Church.. Also as time passes, the NO Seminary formation has educated the faith right out of the new "priests" and distanced them from true Catholic teaching, so much so as to question their intent during the words of consecration.
Bishop Williamson , always reaches out to those in the Novus Ordo as they are sheep of Our Lord that have been led astray by the "Churchmen". He is a kind and very generous man.

I Lived in Long Beach, California most of my life. I still remember the retired HMS Queen Mary docked in Long Beach
Harbor in 1967.
I know the Catholic Church you mentioned.   St. Anthony's Parish. I attended High School there for a few years in
the 1960's. The Mural in front of the Church depicts Pope Pius XII declaring the Dogma of the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary in 1950.  
The Catholic Church I attended in the 1980's was St. Bartholomew's in East Long Beach near Belmont Shore.
I see that finally St. Matthew's on 7th Street is closed. This was the gαy church.
In the latter years I attended Mass in Garden Grove and latter the old military chapel on the upper reservation of Fort
MacArthur in San Pedro.
After over 40 years I decided to leave California to points east.

Put out flyers at local supermarkets advertising Eucharistic adoration.  And place flyers at Churches that don't have adoration.

Yes, I agree that it is despite the Novus Ordo. However +W believes that the sacraments can be valid, and he doesn't automatically dismiss them. That's why he has pointed out Eucharistic miracles in the Novus Ordo.

Yes, it's good that he reaches out to those in the Novus Ordo. Fr. Chazal does this also of course. He is indeed a kind and generous man - and a good example for the rest of us. I think that this is true for most of the priests and bishops of the Resistance - they are obviously men of prayer and strong Faith.
