Good evening. I learned the Mass in Latin, and would like to see our parish establish a class to teach our young parishioners. That way, no matter where you go on planet Earth you can participate.

Perhaps you can volunteer to teach the class :-)!

I grew up pre VCII when the only Mass celebrated was the one now referred to as the TLM. My mother worked for an international airline. I still recall flying to Denmark at age 5 and attending Mass in Copenhagen. As you pointed out, because of the universality of the Latin language, it did not matter where we traveled, we could always attend and fully participate at Mass.
