I’m in southeastern VA and starting looking into that a year or so ago. The closest thing I’ve found is the SSPX’s 5-day Ignatian Retreat in Ridgefield, CT. I’ve heard good reviews about it - rigorous yet rewarding.
Please investigate any individual retreat center from this website before attending. The site lists Holy Wisdom Monastery in my hometown of Madison, WI, which is NOT a Catholic community. It is an “ecumenical” community that celebrates a “Sunday Eucharistic Assembly” – NOT the Holy Mass (and, as it appears from their own website, celebrated by a pretend “wymynpriest”). If this was listed on www.osb.org, then it is possible there are other non-Catholic listings on there as well, so please use caution.
Really? Thanks!
I found this on the FSSP site but unfortunately their retreats I believe are done for the year.
Yes, when I first started attending the FSSP parish, they were advertising for an Ignatian retreat. I heard it booked really quickly and only a few parishioners who wanted to go were able to register.
Well if you have a good amount of people that want the EF in your area you may be able to ask your Archbishop if he could petition the FSSP. I would assume though that he would give you priests from the dioceses that are qualified to say the EF before asking the FSSP. It took forever to get a FSSP priest for our parish and to be honest I don’t know how we even got one. I think Una Voce petitioned FSSP and asked if they could send a priest if the Archbishop approved of it.Man I wish there was an FSSP parish near me, any ideas of anything I could do to get one near me? Besides moving of course…lol
That might be our problem in NY. We have plenty of EF masses and they won’t allow the FSSP in.
It may even be the case that the FSSP chooses not to enter a diocese because their resources are limited and the EF sacraments are already available in the diocese.
Miles Christi is a wonderful order. Plus, even though they don’t offer the Mass in the EF, there is a lot of Latin in it. IIRC, at the last Miles Christi I attended, the entire “Communion Rite” section of the Mass was done in Latin.
I’ll have to look into that, thank you very much.
Sometimes my wife doesn’t like to go to Latin Mass but I still wake her up, dress my 2 year old and my 5 month old, get them to Latin Mass and they scream the whole time we’re there but I make sure that we go. The point I’m trying to make is remember that as a father you have a special place in your family. It is one of the few places in life that requires you to answer for someone else’s sins at your judgment. God made father’s to be the head of the household and to lead, guide, and instruct their families in the faith. Pray to Our Lady but also make sure that your family prays too. Remember you have an obligation to your family, it is your vocation and the highest thing you can want for someone if you love them is for them to get into Heaven.
