If you scroll down to page 4 you'll find the different devotions on the upper right hand side.Īs far as the FSSP is concerned, their church and school is a couple of towns over ( I'm guessing, about 12 miles away). I forgot to add the link to our Sunday bulletin. They are certainly not all gone, but it's a thousand percent better than it was, say, 20 years ago. The Priests have worked very hard to eradicate the worst offenses. There were some severe problems in the past. None of it is perfect, but being able to be comfortable as a trad is nice. The school and college is the main focus however. There are a few business around that are run by trads. Having doctors that are Traditionalists is nice. 3 daily Masses and Confession 4 times per week, daily compline, 5 Masses on Sunday, and various other devotions help bring us closer to God. On the other hand, living around so many people who have the same religious ideology as you makes living as a Traditional Catholic much easier. It can be a hard place to live due to the indigenous people resenting so many trads being in 'their' town as well as our reputation from the past. It is, in my humble opinion, beautiful country and especially nice for anyone who enjoys four season outdoor activities. The principal local pager is the Spokesman Review, a good way to get some 'flavor' of the area, and check on jobs. The regional economy is recovering well so job prospects 'should' be good. The facility and chapel are worth visiting and they have a wonderful traditional Catholic book and gift shop. It is my understanding that their k-12 co-educational school is well thought of, but I don't know much about it.

Located in Post Falls, Idaho, within short. The Mount had previously been the Scholasticate for the Oregon Province of the Jesuits, and is a VERY impressive campus, the site is or just has celebrated its centennial. Immaculate Conception Church is a traditional Catholic community served by priests of the Society of St. They have three Masses every Sunday and it seems to be a going concern, with lots of young people at the 9:30 Mass I attended.Īs for school things, in Spokane there is the CMRI (which may not be an option, just mentioning it) at Mount St. According to their web site the school (k-12) only serves boys.Ī couple of years ago I did attend Mass at the FSSP parish of St. It is adjacent to I-90 and I've driven by it a few times, it appears to have a nice campus. I've not been to the SSPX Priory in Post Falls. Post Falls, ID is about half way between, on I-90. About 30 miles east on Interstate 90 is Coeur d'Alene, ID with a population of 44k and it is Idaho's second largest city. There is Spokane, WA with a population of 200k, the second largest city in the state (and the 102nd. I live 80 - 100 miles south of there in Pullman, WA, 9 miles west of Moscow, ID (home to Washington State University and the University of Idaho respectively, the two state's Land Grant universities). What does anyone know about these cities, and what it is like to live in the communities? How much contention is there between th FSSP and the SSPX, which I understand both have a strong presence there (the two cities are pretty close to each other)?Īny positive or negative comments about these cities or Idaho in general would be welcome. The FSSP community here is very large but has no permanent school) Our SSPX chapel is tiny and only has Mass on Sunday. (I go to SSPX masses, and might consider moving to Post Falls, both to have easy access to the SSPX priory there, and to be near to my family. They are strongly FSSP (but say there may be a SSPX school (possibly in Post Falls, run by the Dominican Sisters) they would consider to meet the needs of one daughter).

They are considering moving there the main purpose would be to improve their children's education. The priests stationed in Immaculate Conception priory serve the needs of the faithful in three States in the Northwest USA: Idaho, Washington and Montana.My brother and his family will be vacationing in Idaho, mainly to explore the FSSP community in Coeur d'Alene.
