  • Hello all,

    I am looking for information on the SSPX Chapel on Edmonds, WA. I currently attend the FSSP North American Martyrs Mass but I am really interested in going to the SSPX. Is there anyone parishioner there? I'm afraid there is not really much SSPX presence here in secular Seattle. Please help! I'm feeling isolated in this liberal city. Thank you!

  • I am not a regular attendee at Corpus Christi Church in Edmonds as I don't live in Washington State though I am originally from Seattle and usually go there when I am visiting relations in the Seattle area.

    It seems to be a typical SSPX chapel in a residential neighborhood and it is pretty easily found.  I usually park on the street just down the road when I am there.  The SSPX website gives the following information:

    Corpus Christi Church
    425-771-9208
    204 6th Avenue N.
    EDMONDS
    Sunday 7:30am& 9:30am (High Mass)

  • Thank you for your reply. I have never really been in a SSPX Chapel before so I don't know what you mean by "typical Chapel in a residential area". Are there any regular parishioners? How many people regularly attend on a Sunday? I intend to go next Sunday but I'm gathering as much information as I can.

  • By "typical chapel", I mean that it probably looks a lot like any other traditional chapel you might see that was not a restored century old church.  I usually go to the low Mass and the church is full but not over-crowded.  I would guess (I've never been to the FSSP church in Seattle) that it probably looks a lot like the FSSP church except that you won't see any Conciliar advertisements or hear propaganda about the Archbishop, Catholic Charities, the "Catholic" Campaign for Human Development, or the wonderfully humble Pope Frank.

  • About 300 parishioners.  Wonderful people and lots of families.  There is a basement downstairs and a cry room in the back of the chapel.  Beautiful choir at second Mass.

    I have been to two FSSP parishes for the last 7 years. Non of which you speak is true in my experiences. You may have your experiences, but mine are nothing of this sort.

  • 300 families sounds like a sizable amount of parishioners. Good news! as I was losing hope of finding other Traditional Catholics in this secular "progressive" city of Seattle. I intend to attend next Sunday.

    The only FSSP parish I have experience with, and people have told me this is typical, has the Novus Ordo and the traditional Mass celebrated at different times.  What is not typical is that the one in town now includes the Anglican service on Sunday mornings as well.  

    The pamphlet rack at the church entrance has all kinds of diocesan advertisements and the bulletin will often include diocesan announcements.  

    In any event, I simply don't believe that an FSSP parish is not going to be part of the diocesan fund raising efforts.  Perhaps you just didn't go to any of these parishes during the past 7 years during one of the fund raising campaigns.

    (In any event, there would have been no talk of Pope Frank prior to just a couple of months ago, let alone for the last 7 years.)

  • OK, I see TKGS. I was under the impression that all FSSP parishes were housed in stand alone churches, not sharers of buildings. Makes sense. I consider myself very fortunate, then.

  • The FSSP parish I have been attending to for the past year, has to rent space in a Novus Ordo church and well, everything feels and looks like a newchurch. Pretty sad state of affairs!
