as i fall more in love with the TLM, i wonder if i am called to an order that celebrates the Traditional Latin Mass. now i know i am more likely to find a more traditional and cloistered order that does this, but what about a semi-active order with some younger guys?

personally i am also looking for the following,

-brothers - not just canons regular (priests only)
-active/contemplative (parish missions, retreats, music events)
-active with poor/youth
-Marian (daily Rosary)
-Eucharistic (daily Benediction/adoration/holy hour)
-big hood.

================

so far i know of these who meet some but not all,

-Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, CFR. New York
-Oblates of the Virgin Mary, OMV. Boston/California/etc. - (just started TLM low Mass at parish)
-Norbertines, O.Praem. California/etc. - (moving towards TLM?)
-Franciscan Missionaries of the Eternal Word, MFVA. Alabama
-Franciscans Friars of the Immaculate, FI. MA/IN

================

if they don’t happen to celebrate the TLM but are orthodox and serious about obedience to the Magisterium, or may at least do the responses in Latin like the EWTN missionaries on tv, i would think they would be open to the TLM in the future…
 
FSSP and Institute of Christ the King. These are two organisations solely dedicated to the provision of the tridentine mass. They also follow the traditional rules of ordination.

However, I would consider joining a mainstream order which celebrates the tridentine mass. This will enable you to reach a whole lot more people because the FSSP parishes are few and far between.
 
Perhaps this Traditional Vocations blog will help, which we created for just this purpose.

We have not finished featuring all the communities yet, but there are many links.

Not that I am trying to contradict Dempsey, but I would say the opposite, in a fashion. Examine the charisms of all the orders, fraternities and societies; see what makes them tick, and ask if it “gels” with you. Do not worry about the size.
 
Johnny,
Code: 
I know this is probably not your cup of tea, but Bishop Robert McKenna of Monroe, CT says the Dominican rite of Mass at his chapel and lives a traditional life of a Dominican friar.  He has a group of Dominican sisters under his care who run a school.  He never accepted the changes after VII.  He is very humble, and easy to speak to.  If you had any questions about him and the situation in the Church, he is accessible .  His chapel's website is [rosarychapel.net](http://rosarychapel.net)  All the info is there for any contact, if you choose.
Just helping you look at all options.

In case you don’t know, Bishop McKenna and his group are not in communion with Pope Benedict XVI.
 
I do know that Bp Mckenna is not in communion with Benedict in Rome. Is there a pope to be under. He accepts what every Pope taught up to Pius XII. Vatican II was anything but Catholic. I just wanted to give this fellow a window of oppurtunity to communicate with someone who is knowledgeable about what the Church has always taught and the avenues available to someone who wants to work in the Lord’s vineyard to save souls. I also recommend the CMRI as well as other similiar groups. They want to live and carry on the faith uncompromised.
If one joins an indult/motu group, leaving aside validity of orders for the moment, one would have to, in principle, if not one day in actual practice, accept ecumenical/interfaith activities that we just witnessed Benedict XVI take part in on his visit and what JPII did at Assisi. If you say that you do not approve of such scandalous gatherings, than I would say you may be walking towards not in communion with Rome and Bendict yourself. One cannot have it both ways.
I recommend reading Bp George Hay of Scotland(d.circa 1800) who wrote on what Communicating in False Worship is and it’s consequences. olrl.org/doctrine/ecumenism_hay.shtml

I think I have said enough for now.

Our Lady, Seat of Wisdom, pray for us

St. John Cantus Parish in Chicago has the Canons Regular of St. John Cantius. But, there are also Brothers.
 
I would like to add that the Syon Benedictine Abbey near Blacksburg, Virginia is totally committed to the old faith, from what I have been told.
Also, Christ the King Abbey in Culman, Alabama, just down the road from Mother Angelica, is Benedictine as well.
Most Holy Trinity Seminary in Florida has a loose knit organization of priests. Nothing formal, just a willingness to work together.

Christ the King Abbey is NOT in communion with the Catholic Church. ewtn.com/library/bishops/christ-the-king.htm

I cannot locate any information on Syon Benedictine Abbey.

These guys are in the Diocese of Tulsa OK:

Nick is definitely right–you should check out the Institute of the Incarnate Word, since the description you gave almost perfectly describes them. They are novus ordo generally speaking, but they love the liturgy and celebrate it right, they are very orthodox, have priests (mostly) and brothers–both active and contemplative, have daily adoration, consecrate themselves to Mary and pray the rosary daily, do much of their apostolate in poor parishes, do parish missions, preach Spiritual Exercises retreats, etc. The only thing you mentioned that they don’t have is the big hood (they wear the cassock), unless you enter their contemplative branch, in which case you’d have the hood too!

Dear JohnyD -
Don’t concentrate so much on the “big hood”…concentrate on the big picture ! 🙂 FSSP is great - but I don’t know about the ‘big hood’ - they just fill in very large gaps for those thirsty for TLM - and their priests - awesome sans le hood ! 😃

But there’s an Order of Benedictines in Hulbert, Oklahoma - Clear Creak Monastery (they have a web site). I know they say TLM - Further, they’ll even say TLM Gregorian Masses, and on a very timely basis, which you KNOW are few and far between. The only other TLM Gregorian Masses I could find - was a monastery in France! So, check it out !
Good luck and God bless you in your choice of a vocation -
Say a prayer for me and for everyone here, please, if and when you take those holy vows - okay?
 
The Benedictines tend to be extremely good about the TLM. The Abbey of Regina Laudis founded by Mother Benedict Duss is renowned for having the Divine Office sung daily in Latin.
