Just as a minute of interest, how many priests celebrate the TLM in your parish? If it FSSP/ICRSS etc. how many priests are there in your parish? If there are more than three is there A Solemn High Mass (Deacon and Subdeacon) every Sunday?

PS, ours in Dublin is usually a Missa Cantata, but on November 25th there will be a Solemn High Mass because this will be the last TLM in St Audeons, and the week after there will be our first Solemn High Mass in our new venue, St Kevins Church, Harrington Street.
 
I really have no idea what to put. The TLMs in Orange county are said by the Norbertines. There are 11 who can say the Tridentine. They say these masses both at the abbey and outside–at the Mission, the Polish Center in Yorba Linda, and now St. Mary’s By the Sea.

We’ve got one priest, who is on a rota to celebrate the Extraordinary Form about once per month.

However, in a British traditionalist context at least, the parish is not the be all and end all. Typically, highly committed British Catholics attend weekday Masses near their place of work, or in evenings at clubs or special occasions. This is especially true in London.
 
The parish I belong to has at a minimum 4 priests that can celebrate the EF. The two diocesan priest and all the priests from the religious order that has its monastery on the parish grounds. There is at least two from the order there right now, but at times there are more.
 
The one option you didn’t give was zero, which is the case at my parish. I wish they would learn it, though, because I love the Latin Mass. But living in Los Angeles, that’s not likely to happen any time soon. The Latin Mass isn’t exactly encouraged around here, sadly.
 
Yes, how about the zero…

Coincidently we also have zero priests in our parish, we are without a priest, part of the fruit of this age.
(good old California)

We do have some priests who visit who celebrate the Mass, so we are lucky to have that.

Zero, hence I normally “commute” to what used to be the “indult” Mass said by an FSSP Priest. Normally High Mass, sometimes Solemn High Mass.
 
To the best of my knowledge, we only have one priest in our entire diocese who celebrates the TLM.
