I just found out that the Diocese of Orange in CA has started having Tridentine masses every Sunday. One is at the Pope John Paul II Polish Center in Yorba Linda (7AM). The other is in the Serra Chapel at Mission San Juan Capistrano at 8AM. The one in Yorba Linda (at least) is experimental, and will be re-evaluated in 6 months. The LA diocese (which is way larger than Orange) has a few locations. You can find them by clicking to http://www.archdiocese.la/directories/parishes/indult.html

Being under 40, I have never been to a Tridentine. I may attend the one in Yorba Linda. None of the LA locations is remotely close to me, but I may make the trip to Yorba Linda. I lector next week, but perhaps the week after…. Have to check with my better half first, we may want to do a little preparation first.

There are not many Tridentine Masses nearby me either. I honestly have never been to one although I have seen many videos. If you do check it out, I’d love to read your opinion on it.

Rob,

I feel very fortunate since in our parish, we have an Tridentine Mass every Sunday. It has been the most awesome experience to learn the Latin chants and prayers. Our priest is young and energetic yet very traditional and I have grown to appreciate these qualities very much. I hope that you may be able to attend such as Mass soon as it truly is a wonderful experience.

May God bless you and your family.

I was in LA last weekend, and had no car, so I didn’t make the Tridentine in San Juan Capistrano as I had hoped. I went to a Spanish Mass in Venice Beach, where the pastor was explaining Feminist views of “Mother God”. Sigh.

Are you serious, Leticia?!? WOW! I, thankfully, have not had to endure something like that. I know some good folks at St. Mark’s in Venice - know that all are not of unorthodox kind.
