I would respectfully recommend you attend mass at a place like Old Saint Mary's in Cincinnati Ohio. I've never been in a more participatory mass where the faithful sing the hymns with conviction and gusto. 18 sisters worshiped in the first few rows. Several young priests were available for mass.

I would respectfully recommend you attend mass at a place like Old Saint Mary's in Cincinnati Ohio. I've never been in a more participatory mass where the faithful sing the hymns with conviction and gusto. 18 sisters worshiped in the first few rows. Several young priests were available for mass. The whole place was crawling with children, yet there was silence and reverence for the consecration. After mass, people hung around for an hour to visit and eat together. The parish has its own crisis pregnancy center. I was just visiting on a trip for my grad school advisers retirement, but as a Novus Ordo attender I was blown away. Show me any mass in America that has such signs of life. I've heard St. John Cantius in Chicago is similar. Where I'm from, the TLM community is harshly persecuted, and even good Novus Ordo priests like mine live in fear of their bishop.
