    • Just a quick update.  Father seems to be doing much better.  He was released from hospital a couple days ago.  There was an SSPX priest who filled in for Mass on First Friday and First Saturday.  Father Carley actually sat toward the back of the church during Mass both days.  On Friday, a lady came in a bit late and had just missed Confessions, and she muttered, "Oh, I missed Confession ... AGAIN."  She hadn't finished her sentence before Father Carley was practically sprinting back to the Confessional (with Mass already underway).  You could tell he missed hearing Confessions and was practically overjoyed at having the chance.

    We're not sure whether he'll try to offer Mass Sunday himself or whether the SSPX priest will fill in.

    • Lad, would you post the Mass time at IHM for tomorrow should the SSPX priest be subbing for Fr. Carley?

    Thank you Ladislaus for the update! It is really good to hear that Fr. Carley is doing so well! 
    We will keep praying for him.

    Yes, he's in great shape for going on 90 here, and I fully expect him to be around for quite some time, naturally speaking and God willing.

    I believe he's the last Traditional priest around who was ordained during the reign of Pope Pius XII.

    Just to put it into perspective, Father Carley had been a priest for about 17 years already, and was active with the ORCM in 1975, when many of the first generations of SSPX priests were being ordained, Bishop Williamson, Bishop Dolan, Bishop Kelly, Father Cekada, Father Jenkins, etc.  Of that group, 3 have already preceded him in death, and the other two are getting up there in years themselves.

    I told Fr. Chavarria that I want him to do my requiem mass when I die. I like him a lot.

    • For those who are following and regularly attend Mass at Immaculate Heart in Akron (Father Carley's chapel), Mass will be at noon again on Sunday.  NO 9AM MASS.  Unfortunately, last time SSPX did this, many people showed up at IHM at 9AM only to find a sign on the door that there would be no 9AM Masss (just noon).  Father Carley has never been very "techie" and so he has no good way to get news out about schedule changes, and really has never needed to in 40 years, as he'd not missed a day before now (except once for his hip surgery).

    How is his health status?

    Father did some pulmonary rehab and is back at the rectory but not strong enough to offer Mass yet.  Honestly, I think it was whatever medicines they gave him that made him weak.

    That’s too bad, I will say a prayer for him. Thanks for the update.

    Maybe he could have someone at the chapel who is more technical, to maintain a kind of mailing or message list, so that people could be notified if Mass is cancelled on short notice?  Or failing that, even something as retro as a "telephone tree"?

    I once attended a TLM site which was similarly low-tech, and my wife and I got there, only to find a sign taped to the door, "NO LATIN MASS TODAY".  They had no bulletin, no website, no nothing.  Good thing we hadn't driven 100 miles only to find that out.
