Does anyone know of any English-speaking churches in Dresden,Germany ?
Mass on a Sunday would be most convenient.

Thanks for this. St. Paul's in Dresden, only has English language
masses on the last Sunday of the month. I wrote to the priest, but he
has not responded. They mention that there are several other places
where there are R.C. masses in English, but I am unable to find them.

While in Barcelona, Spain, last November, we attended Mass at the chapel
in
La Sacrada Familia.. The Mass was celebrated in Catalan, but we were
given
sheets with the readings and the gospel written in English so that we
could
follow along. If you are traveling near a US Military Installation, you
would be welcome to attend Mass there. The MP at the gate would probably
issue a temporary day entry pass for you when you explained the reason
for
which you wanted to enter the base.

What's wrong with mass in the language of the country you are visiting?

A good question.

It's the same service, isn't it? I've attended Christmas masses in
Europe, twice - once in Brussels in a very large (and I think famous)
church, once in Vienna at the Schubertskirche. Although I am
Anglo-catholic (Episcopalian), not Roman, I had no problem following the
mass, even if I didn't understand every word.

and certainly no harder than following a mass in Latin.

There is a difference in attending Mass and praying the Mass. I was born
during the time that Mass was celebrated in Latin and am comfortable with
it; our missals had Latin on one side of the page and English on the other
so when one participated, you learned to follow and pray along with the
priest or respond when indicated. We still celebrate a Sunday noon Mass in
Latin at my parish here in Texas. I am a soprano in that choir and we sing
the hymns and responses in Latin at that Mass.
