  • Hello friends,
    Does anyone here know of a location for Latin Mass at a large church or cathedral in the Kentucky or Alabama area? I am wanting to take my children to a Sung High Mass if possible at least once in their life   :)

  • There is one in Alabama but I was informed that he is not a validly ordained priest. The best Mass I've ever seen in the U.S. was the Solemn High Mass of the SSPX in Winona, MN (which is now in Virginia I believe). The priests and seminarians go on vacation in the summer months, so you wouldn't be able to catch a Solemn High Mass during those months.

    In English we say Low Mass/ High Mass instead of Prayed Mass and Sung Mass.

    Solemn High Masses are by far the most beautiful and worth the trip to Virginia, in my opinion. 

    Small chapels do sometimes have High Masses. Even many SSPX chapels have High Masses regularly every Sunday. If you're close to Memphis, you could see what the schedule at St. Cecilia's is like.
    We conclude logically that religion can give an efficacious and truly realistic answer to the great modern problems only if it is a religion that is profoundly lived, not simply a superficial and cheap religion made up of some vocal prayers and some ceremonies...

  • I don't know about Alabama, but nearby in Georgia there is a High mass every Sunday at 11:30am at St Francis de Sales in Mableton.

  • Thank you for the suggestions : )
    Centroamerica I would love to travel to VA but sadly out of my reach. I think there are a few large churches in Ky but was hoping some here would have more info if they’ve been to any of them before. 

    I did want to include a little bit of history behind my request. As I do know I am on resistance site. 

    I was born in the Novus Ordo and when I found that I could attend Mass at the SSPX 10 years ago I happily said bye to the NO. Only I wasn’t attending the NO in an ugly modernist architectural monstrosity you’d see in an L.A diocese. No my whole family had three huge cathedrals in a major downtown city to choose from. Mass may have been modern but the surroundings were anything but. 
    The high altars were lovely only hidden behind a plain supper table. The churches had all kept their beautiful statuary and stained glass windows. Ornate Tabernacles and marble floors. 
    So our journey on to Tridentine put us in a charming little chapel in a small city an hour away from home. We loved the Mass more than the surroundings of course and we were also shown the war at hand and learned soon after that it was time to ‘hunker down’ (God bless BP +Will)

    I get the feeling that some trads may have been there done that and have been fighting for the Faith for so long they have forgotten where they came from. The cave walls have been closing in for quite some time. 
    Maybe some of you miss your cathedrals? Solemn High Mass with the bishop maybe?
    I arrived a little late on scene for all of that but I do hope to see it all one day. 
    I picture it as something this side of Heaven. 

    If there are no cathedrals left with a sufficient Mass for Our Lord, perhaps some would like to share their stories of those Grand Ceremonies that used to be..
