Savannah, Georgia - Mass Recommendation?

[tcraig]

We are considering a move to Savannah, Georgia. Can anyone recommend a good parish? Any thoughts on this area?

I’m not familiar with Savannah. Is that close to Atlanta? There is a good Tridentine Mass available in Mableton in the Atlanta Archdiocese. Here is information on it:

St. Francis de Sales Church

Mass times:

Sunday: 9:00 AM & 11:30 AM
Mon - Thur: 6:30 & 9:00 AM;
Fri, 9:00 AM, 7:00 PM;
Sat. 7 & 9 AM;
Holy Days, 6:30, 9 AM & 8:00 PM

Thank you, Matt. Savannah is about 5 hours drive away from Atlanta. We used to be parishioners at St. Francis de Sales. It’s an excellent TLM parish, with all the sacraments in the traditional rite, if anyone is interested.

But I am more specifically looking at parishes in the Savannah area. We used to live in the Savannah diocese (though not in Savannah) and it was a bit of a mixed bag as far as orthodoxy went. The Bishop was quite resistant to requests for the TLM in the city of Savannah, also; I think they currently only have it once a month, and it’s the only TLM in the Savannah diocese that I’m aware of.

I don’t mind the NO as long as it’s celebrated properly and reverently.

Here is an interesting article about Savannah. About halfway down he mentions where you can find a Tridentine Mass. www.paulthigpen.com/paulthigpen/mycitymychurch.html . I’ve been to Savannah a few times (it’s just two hours away from my home) and it’s a neat town. The Cathedral is beautiful and so are the homes downtown. The St. Patrick’s Day Parade is nice, the crowds are huge down on, I think it’s River Street. One of my fav Food Network Chef’s Paula Deen lives there and has a popular restaurant called The Lady & Sons.
