I think what you did is a great idea and with utmust charity! Prayer is key! However, I don’t blame people for taking the initiative to write their priest or Bishop. Spending an hour at an abused mass would count as 2 hours of prayer (1 for being at the sacrifice and receiving Jesus, 1 for the redemptive suffering experienced with all the abuses) . The other hour of prayer is up to the person; I suggest maybe a 15 min rosary, 15 min meditation on the martyrs who died for the faith, and 30 min prayerful reading of major points in Redemptionis Sacramentum. Then, type away…my prayers are with you as well!I think on this type of issue we need to spend more time praying and less time acting. I try to start with a 3 to 1 ratio. 3 hours of prayer for 1 hour of action. Then if enough time has been spent in prayer do what I did. Give the priest a gift copy of the GIRM with some really nice bookmarks in some neat places within the GIRM. In addition at that point and every other time you see him ask how you can be of service.
Charity drives satan nuts.
