Now, the problem is Mass. I have searched the homepage of the Archdiocese of Winnipeg for Mass schedules. I found listings for Mass in English, Polish, Italian, French, Hungarian, Tagalog, Spanish, German, and Croatian.

That said, I assume that it’s possible that a priest would offer Mass in Latin without wanting to advertize the fact. If this is so, somebody will probably know about it. If that person is you, would you please let me know? If you have ever been to Winnipeg and can vouch for the orthodoxy of a particular parish (regardless of the language used), I’d like to know that, too…
