There's no problem with attending Mass in another parish or even another rite. The only problem is if you want other Sacraments - for example, if you want to get married in that rite, if you have children and want them baptized in that rite, etc. Then, if nobody involved is of that rite, you might have to change rites.

To my knowledge now, this is a little harder to do than it used to be, since so many people were fleeing the Latin Rite after the imposition of the Novus Ordo and the weirdness that the rather vengeful authorities decided to plug that escape route. However, it can still be done, and if you want to do it, what you have to have is a track record of attending the liturgy of that rite and being involved in the church of that rite. All of which it seems to me you have :-)

Thanks, livius, for your usual excellent response.

The only Sacrament I have not yet received is Annointing of the Sick. That shouldn't make a difference, should it?

Absolutely :-) I'm curious though to see how Fr. McNamara responds.
