Antonia,
It's not acceptable to go to a Protestant
Church in order to meet one's Sunday
obligation.
In fact, as a convert or someone
entering the Church, it's best for
you not to attend Protestant Services.
You are young in the faith and not
well rooted. It would very easy for
you to pick up, or not be able to discern,
heresy.
If distance truly makes it impossible
for you to get to a Catholic Church
on a regular basis, then I'd consider
not moving to this place. If you
have no choice, then try and watch
the Mass on T.V. but eventually you'll
need to enter a RCIA program in
a local parish if you want to enter
the Church.
Catholics under extreme circumstances (e.g.
there is no Catholic parish reasonably
close) can make their obligation
by attending an Orthodox Church because
they have a valid priesthood and
valid Liturgy. Their
Eucharist is valid but it's unlikely
that an Orthodox church would permit
a Catholic to receive Communion in
their parish.
Consider talking to someone at the
diocese where you are moving to.
They may be able to provide information
or services you were unaware of.
You can find information on the diocese
you are moving to (and probably their
website) at:
