Whats your chapel like?

  • I was interested in hearing where most posters attend Mass and what their chapel is like. Which traditional society operates it, if it has a school, how many people attend, if there are many young families, etc.

    I go to a traditional parish operated under the diocese that has maybe 300 people split between three Sunday Masses. The priests are incardinated into the diocese but celebrate the Old Mass exclusively, there are a few young families but not as many as most trad chapels seem to have, quite a few young converts (four this year all under 21, myself included) and there's no school attached to the church.

    I also occasionally go to an SSPX chapel, that's smaller (maybe 150 people) and there's no school there either. I hardly ever see any college aged adults at the parish (whereas the diocesan TLM has quite a few), but a couple large families attend.

    What about your parish?

  • I go to an independent chapel under a priest who used to be with the SSPX but left (he is still on good terms with the SSPX however). The priest used to have a chapel for 20 years (a converted auto garage) but, for reasons I don't know, we lost that chapel 1 1/2 years ago. Now we rent a 2 hour space every Sunday from an Anglican church. We have only around 40 people at this chapel - mostly mid aged or older folk and maybe a family or two. But I'm not completely sure because I don't look around too attentively when I come.
