I was curious. I live in a faraway place: Alaska.

We only have 2 priests in the whole state that know how to say the TLM. There has been interest in our area to have a TLM for MULTIPLE reasons. I know that getting an “outside” priest to do a TLM would actually be beneficial and help encourage many of those people and for many of the reasons that the desire the TLM.

I was wondering if anyone knew of priests that DO or would want to possibly visit Alaska to do such a thing.

Now as a disclaimer I know it isn’t that easy. I know that the protocol and procedure has to be followed to do such a thing, and I have been working on the back end on just that. I am looking to find out the interest/ability to get someone to do this so that I can continue to coordinate the logistics on this end for accomplishing this goal. I know that the appropriate people need to be on board, I know that the appropriate materials need to be available, and i know that servers and other logistics need to be in place. The biggest hurdle that we actually face is getting someone to SAY the Mass. I know in Anchorage the biggest city in the state, they only had 1 TLM since the MP solely because they didn’t have a priest to say it.

So I just was hoping to throw this line out there and see if I could “Catch” anyone out there that might find this post interesting and direct me to a priest or person who might find this sort of thing interesting.
 
I can remember seeing several posts on the New Liturgical Movement website that talks about this group of Dominicans in Alaska that use the Dominican rite of the TLM. Perhaps they are near to you or have priests that could make the trip to say the TLM on something approaching a regular basis.

I do understand that travel throughout a greater portion of the state is difficult and time consuming at best so I wish you the best of luck.
