Resistance Mass location

    • Does anyone know of a Resistance Mass or priest close to Indianapolis?  We used to attend a SSPX center in Ft Wayne, IN, but stopped going a year ago.  The closest Resistance Masses we know of are both 4 hrs away--Chicago, IL and Boston KY.  For various reasons we are unable to travel that far very easily or often.  Luckily we were able to attend an Easter Mass, but prior to that the last time we'd been was 6 months ago.  

    My husband and I have 6 small children and as a mother this situation is hard to bear...watching my little ones growing up and seeing their need for the sacraments and the beauty of the Mass.  Any suggestions or input would be appreciated!

    Thank you!

    • I can't answer your question, but I can empathize with your situation. We have five children, and our nearest Mass is three hours-plus from our home. We try to attend once a month and just make a day of it. When the children start whining, I remind myself of the many graces we’re receiving by making the effort and refusing to worship the golden calf down at Novus Ordoville. I'll pray for you.

Now, he who is not a Christian is not a member of the Church, and a manifest heretic is not a Christian, as is clearly taught by St. Cyprian, St. Athanasius, St. Augustine, St. Jerome, and others. Therefore, the manifest heretic cannot be Pope." -- St. Robert Bellarmine

    • If I were you, I would consider driving to the CMRI chapel in Sulphur Springs, OH. They have a later mass time, so it might be easier on a family with young children. The chapel also has a cry room.

    I know it isn't Resistance but it is what I would do in your place. It should be about 2 hours from Ft. Wayne.

    • What does CMRI stand for?  And how are they on doctrine and liberalism?  That's why we stopped going to the SSPX chapel.

    • It stands for Congregation of Mary Immaculate Queen.

    I'm surprised you've never heard of them, they are the second largest traditionalist group in the world. You can read their positions on their website CMRI.org

    They hold the sedevacantist position but do not require it for mass attendance or to receive the sacraments. They won't question you about it. One of the best things is that they are extremely accommodating  in regards to sick calls, baptisms, and other needs for people who are in difficult situations such as living far from mass.

    The particular chapel I recommended, Our Mother of Perpetual Help, has Father Gabriel Lavery as its current priest. He is a very kind and pious priest, and if you want to call him and ask him questions, he will gladly talk to you. I have attended mass at this chapel many times over the years and find it to be a good situation for managing small children and I find the people very friendly, which is nice for a traveler. (I'm in a similar boat, if you haven't guessed, lots of young children and difficulty getting to mass)

    I've been to 7-8 CMRI chapels from coast to coast and I have never heard a liberal sermon out of any of their priests.
