We considering moving back to the Raleigh area, but it's important to us to be able to attend a Latin Mass, be it Tridentine or the Low Mass. I have searched some Mass listings, but am having trouble pinpointing the parishes that have the Latin Mass on a weekly basis. We prefer not to attend a SPX Mass- at least until they are fully received back into the Church. Any suggestions on where to look?
I'm not sure what Tridentine, Low Mass, and SPX mass mean... and I'm not sure if you're looking for Roman Catholic mass (as opposed to another rite) but call the Sacred Heart Cathedral. I'm almost positive they have a latin mass once a week, but I don't believe it's listed on their bulletin. Good luck!
that's neat. as a recovered catholic, i always thought it'd be cool to see a whole mass in latin, just for the historical factor. i saw one in french once, and that was neat too...
By "low mass" (actually a spoken mass), do you mean the Novus Ordo (rite of Paul VI)? Tridentine is properly called "the Extraordinary Form", and of course can be celebrated with various ceremonial, whether as a low mass or a solemn high mass. This is equally true of the Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo), which can be done with the full ceremonial authorised by the GIRM (General Instruction on the Roman Missal). If you want good RC liturgy, you'd better stick to places like NYC and Philly!
Sacred Heart Cathedral has one on the first Sunday of the month at 4:30. It is a Low Tridentine Mass (Missal of 1962). I've heard rumours of it possibily being offered every week in a couple of months.
There is a weekly one offered in Dunn, NC about an hour east of Raleigh (the Church there is also called Sacred Heart).

Most places IME it is easier to find a Latin Novus Ordo mass than an Extraordinary Form (1962 Missal) mass. Well, thinking about it, maybe here in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast. Much less so in Texas, where I used to live. But the OP would apparently be happy with a Latin Novus Ordo -- anyplace do a good one with Gregorian chant? What about a religious community whose services are open to the public?
^ I don't know if they still do this but St. Joseph in Raleigh used to do a latin Novus Ordo on the first Saturday of every month at 8am.
