My First Tridentine Mass: What to Do?

[James0235]

All in all, I feel spiritually well-fed today.

Now, just imagine that every week.

I’m glad you liked it. Feel free to ask any questions. I remember I had a lot of them when I first started going.

I do intend to go again. I went with a few friends and we all loved it. We were thinking about going once every month.

James0235:
I’m still trying to unpack the experience, but if I think of anything, I’ll be sure to let you know

I also wanted to add: This was the most welcoming parish I have ever been to. Big surprise! I thought that the traditionalists would be very quiet and “to-themselves-ish”, but that wasn’t the case at all! After Mass they had a parish potluck and I even made some new friends.

Also, I was very surprised that the parish was younger, as a whole, than my regular parish. I expected that most of the people attending the TLM would have been older folks who never caught up with the times. Looking around, though, the bulk of the parishioners looked to be between the 20s and 40s.

That is how the FSSP parish near here is. There are lots of families with young kids. It’s great to see.
