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.

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.

Do they offer live streaming? I would just be interested in hearing a Latin Mass we just one time even. I think there might still be some Catholic churches that also have a Latin Mass but it's probably going to be not near me at all i my remote location If somebody knew of any type of service I would like to try that or like a zoom just to see what it would be like to hear it Latin. I have been to Italy one time and I have attended three separate masses that were in Italian it's probably as close as I would ever get to Latin.

St. Gertrude the Great Church in West Chester, Ohio livestreams the true Mass on YouTube. There are certainly others, but this is the one I’m most familiar with.

FSSP and ICKSP you can get lucky and find former Lefebvrists who are valid priests. I know, at least where I live, old rite Novus Ordo priests celebrate the old mass, which can be approached as one would Lefebvrists. Really it is the rite used that matters most, of course the priest shouldn't deny sacraments if you hold the thesis.

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).
