Where can I find a Catholic Church that has Mass in English?
I moved to Torino Italy about 1 month ago. I am having a difficult time finding a Catholic Church with an English Mass. Any suggestions? Please help.

Try:
+ Chiesa di San Rocco with the English-speaking African community
+ Chiesa S. Giovanni Evangelista with the Tagalog and English-speaking Filipino community
+ Cappella Istituto Sacra Famiglia with the English-speaking Nigerian community

Although I strongly suggest you also attend mass in Italian.

Perhaps it might be easier to learn an appreciation for the Mass in another language. The Catholic Mass is the same anywhere in the world. The meaningfulness of your attendance isn't diminished at all because you cannot understand what it being said.
If you plan on living in Italy for any length of time, chances are you will pick up enough Italian to "get by". This is inevitable if you plan on staying in Italy indefinitely.
I was in Italy a few years ago and enjoyed the Mass in Italian.
I also had the luxery of attending a High Mass with the Pope at the Vatican; where some dozen or so languages were used during the Mass.
It was a fascinating experience. I really came to appreciate the universality of the Catholic Church by witnessing the Mass in different languages.
My advice would be to try and appreciate that aspect of the Church. Or, if worse comes to worse, perhaps the priest at the parish you're at now could tell you where the nearest Mass-in-English is.

I hope you will just embrace the opportunity to experience Mass in another language. I'm sure you will be able to find a book with the Mass written in English and Italian side by side so you can follow along.
But really -- I don't go to Mass, but if I were in Italy I probably would just to have the experience and to learn Italian even better.

Yes, there are English-language plenty. I simply got here from a wake and necrological carrier. The priest was once the assistant major of Ateneo, and the entire mass and the necrological carrier was once performed in English.

Learn Italian, if you are to live there, it is an easy language to learn and will help you understand mass in Latin also.

Bring an interpreter next time. Or better yet, don't waste your time and just sleep.
