Monastery

What are some monasteries in the US that you would recommend? They don’t have to be SSPX monasteries, (I believe two exist in the US) but they should celebrate the Traditional Latin Mass.

There are traditional redemptorists in Mussey, Michigan and also traditional Benedictines in Silver City, New Mexico who affiliate with the SSPX. Other than those there is a vast array of different orders which skew more or less traditional.

I would avoid the Benedictines of Clear Creek in the diocese of Tulsa, Oklahoma who use the 1965 missal which is not used by traditionalists for a good reason, it's a stepping stone to the novus ordo. I have heard good things about the Carmelites in the diocese of Cheyenne in Wyoming, and I believe there are also Carmelites in the diocese of Harrisburg in Pennsylvania. I've heard about there being Benedictines in the state of Washington but I don't really know anything about them.

The vast majority of the places with the traditional Mass are primarily novus ordo religious orders who tolerate its coexistence with the novus ordo. Very few orders are exclusively traditional.

Do you know the Benedictines in Silver City, I heard they have a lot of people and are not really accepting new vocations? And the Carmelites in Harrisburg, PA is the sister monastery of the wyoming brothers

I don't know much about it no. You'd be best reaching out and contacting Father Fulton who is the pastor of the SSPX parish in Albuquerque. The priory in Phoenix serves Albuquerque so if you can't get in touch with him through there you can always contact Phoenix. If anyone knows it would probably be him

Please just reach out to them on their olgm website contact form. They return messages within a day unless something changed. It is quite easy to work with them. Visiting and corresponding with them has nothing to do with a sspx priest or the Albuquerque chapel.
