As of January 8, 2012, there is now a Traditional Latin Mass in San Francisco every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. Beginning next Sunday, January 22, 2012, the Mass will start at 5:00 p.m. instead of the previous starting time of 5:30 p.m. The chapel will open at 4:30 p.m.
The location is Immaculate Conception Chapel, 3255 Folsom Street in Bernal Heights, a couple of blocks up the hill from Cesar Chavez, just past Precita Park, on the left side of the street. The entrance to the parking lot is to the left of the chapel.
The Mass is offered by Fr. William Young, a retired priest of the Diocese of San Francisco. Fr. Young is one of the traditional priests whose story is told in the book "Priest, Where is Thy Mass?" Father also says Mass at 12:15 p.m. every Sunday in Marin County at Holy Rosary Chapel in San Rafael (St. Vincent's School).
Persons with questions are asked not to disturb the chapel staff but rather to telephone Fr. Young at the church where he resides, 415-863-6259.

Is this a Tridentine Mass according to the 1962 missal?
Yes, that is correct.
Isn't the church where Father resides the really controversial parish in the Castro district?
Yes it is. Father is a diocesan priest and I think that is where the archbishop assigned him to be in residence. He is thoroughly orthodox, however, and I understand he has been saying the Tridentine Mass for decades.
