When I was in Fort Worth, I enjoyed going to St. Patrick’s Cathedral at lunchtime, and
St. Mary of the Assumption on Magnolia on Sunday. I liked St. Mary’s because the priest was an Episcopal priest convert, so he had an interesting perspective-- the enthusiasm of a convert, a wife, and really embraced the tangibles, like incense all the time. I think he’s since retired, however, so I don’t know how it currently is.
When I was there, the local FSSP community used to meet there for Latin Mass on Sundays. They since were able to
establish their own parish, over in Irving. I’ve been two or three times, whenever I go back to the area, and they’re lovely people. They no longer maintain their presence at St. Mary of the Assumption, but it looks like they’re over at
St. Benedict’s— which is less central/downtown, and more towards the Lake Worth area.
Whenever I’m in downtown Dallas, I usually attend the
Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe if I’m walking, or drive to Irving to Mater Dei. When I’m more in the Richardson area, I’ll go to
St. Joseph’s. I don’t remember talkers at either of those places.
