A Private Assessment of Traditional Latin Mass Needs in the DFW Area

Many Catholic families across the DFW Metroplex travel long distances each week to attend the Traditional Latin Mass. At the same time, existing TLM parishes are often filled to capacity. We are conducting a private, preliminary assessment to better understand the pastoral need — so we can prudently and respectfully consider presenting this reality to our bishops.

The Case for Consideration

+20 miles, +2000 souls, 2 directions and 2 bishops
The Long Drive for Large Families
+20 miles
Many DFW families — especially those in the northern and outlying areas — regularly drive 20 miles or more to attend the Traditional Latin Mass, often with multiple young children in tow.
Masses Filled to Capacity
+2000 souls
The existing TLM locations near the center-south of DFW serve well over 2,000 souls and are already at or beyond capacity. Parking is limited, churches are full, and overflow spaces are regularly used. Many families find it increasingly difficult to attend their beloved Mass due to distance, time, and space constraints.
A Respectful and Prudent Request
2 bishops
We are gathering real, honest data to respectfully present to our two bishops — in Dallas and Fort Worth. This is not a public petition, but a private, prayerful effort, fully obedient to Church authority and guided by charity, prudence, and love for Holy Mother Church.

How Can You Help

1
Take the Assessment
This is our first and most important step. Whether you’re regularly traveling far, attending Masses filled to capacity, or unable to participate at all due to these challenges, your input helps us paint a clearer picture of the pastoral need across DFW.
2
Share This Effort
Do you know other families who attend (or would like to attend) the Traditional Latin Mass? Please consider discreetly sharing this website with them. The more complete our picture, the more helpful it will be.
3
Pray for Guidance
We ask for your prayers — that the Holy Spirit may guide our bishops, inspire our efforts with charity, and bless all families devoted to the Church's sacred liturgy.

For the Cautious or Curious

If you’re hesitant or unsure about this project, that’s completely understandable. My name is Daniel, and I’m not an outsider — just another TLM dad from North DFW who’s been making the long Sunday drives with my family for years. This isn’t about pressure or publicity. It’s a quiet, respectful effort from within the community — and I’d be happy to talk if you have questions or concerns.
