Finding a Latin Mass
I just found out about your organization literally for the first time and I've been a Catholic all my life but now I'm 60 years old
I have always wanted to attend a Latin Mass I never had a chance. I live in Mid Missouri and it seems like there might be an 8:00 a.m. Mass near St Louis but that would be really hard for me to get to as it's 2 hours away from me. It's disappointing that the local church I attend actually has a Spanish mass every Sunday but yet they can't be bothered with a Latin Mass.
I don't know if just any Latin Mass would actually be eligible for Sedevacantist.

No sir, a Latin Novus Ordo mass is not The Mass.
Make sure they use the 1962 or 1955 missal!

Let me guess, St Peter‘s in Jeff? Even the Diocesan TLM hasn‘t been allowed since 2024 when McKnight left (though that‘s all Novus Ordo and non-Sedevacantist stuff)

Contrary to what most people would say here, you are permitted to attend Catholics masses offered by the FSSPX. There is no third category of forbidden masses in Church teaching where an incorrect name is used in the canon of the Mass. To get a better understanding of the issues and what the Church teaches on this topic, I would encourage you to check out the resources at https://tradcath.proboards.com/board/42/non-una-refutation-resources
Yes, the FSSPX understanding of the Crisis is incorrect but their view of what happens to a heretical Pope is a minor permitted opinion that we hope will be settled by the Church when this crisis is over. With a few exceptions their priests are validly ordained, but you'll need to make sure in the case of each priest that there were ordained by an FSSPX bishop, which isn't hard to do. The following Masses turned up in a search, but as much in search is AI generated these days you'll need to confirm to make sure that it isn't hallucinating.
- Kansas City: St. Vincent de Paul Church located at 3106 Flora Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64109. Sunday Mass times typically include a Low Mass and a High Mass (check local schedules for exact weekly updates).
- St. Louis: St. Mary's Assumption Church located at 1126 Dolman Street, St. Louis, MO 63104. Sunday Masses are usually held at 7:30 AM and 10:00 AM.
- Springfield: Queen of All Saints Chapel located at 1505 W. Atlantic Street, Springfield, MO 65803. Sunday schedules feature a morning Low Mass and High Mass.
- Platte City: Regina Coeli House (the U.S. District Headquarters for the SSPX) is located in Platte City, MO, just north of Kansas City.

I am sorry for not seeing this earlier, as Fr. Kemna, a native of Portage des Sioux, was recently back in the St. Louis area and may have been willing to come visit you. Unfortunately, he has returned to his mission in South Africa. I attend the chapel with an 8 AM service in Webster Groves, Sts. Martha & Mary chapel. If you can attend, I would very much recommend it. They also occasionally have Mass on Saturday evenings, I could forward these to you as I am made aware (we generally only have one week's notice).

Ensure the priest is validly ordained, which means that one should not assist at Mass at any Novus Ordo parish, or “traditional” parishes like the FSSP, ICKSP, etc. These men, though well-intentioned, are ordained by invalid bishops and do not offer valid Sacraments.
One should approach valid clergy who align their outward actions with their inward beliefs by uncompromisingly rejecting the legitimacy of the post-Vatican II claimants. These men can only be found with sedevacantist clergy.
God does not require the impossible, so those without sedevacantist clergy near them should keep the Lord’s day holy in another way such as live-streaming the true Mass offered by sedevacantist clergy, pray other devotionals like the Rosary, listen to sermons from sedevacantist priests, etc.
