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?

It'll be at 9AM by SSPX priest Father Daniel Chavarria.

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.
