Not a problem cothridge.

We have some Farmers in our Parish too. All they wear is jeans, and everybody seems to be okay with that. Some women have come wearing skirts so short you could see all the way to China. That’s frowned on.
I was recently at an Ordination, one girl came in wearing a very short dress, she bowed to the altar. Bad idea. I know the color of her underwear.
Do not try to follow everything the first time, just enjoy the prayer experience.
Absolutely. When I get there I really don't think I will worry a lot about very specific translation issues. I figure that those questions will answer themselves over time, assuming I feel comfortable and continue to go. From what you and others are saying I am much less anxious than I was. I am looking quite forward to making it out for a Mass at some point in the coming few weeks.
Again, I cannot thank all of you enough for the advice and guidance. I really doubt I would ever have worked up the nerve to consider making the drive out without such information as you have all contributed.
I meant to ask you, which order does your local TLM?
It is a diocesan church, and I can find nothing on the website which suggests that the priest is affiliated with any order. As far as I know it is the only parish in our diocese which the bishop allows to celebrate the traditional Mass.
