Visitors ask...Sunday Mass in Annapolis or at the Naval Academy
Annapolis, Maryland is a favorite site for visitors to Maryland. First, the city is the State capitol with all the attendant State buildings including the Governor's Mansion and historic locales (the State House). Second, it is located on the beautiful Severn River with its historic "city dock." Finally, it is the home of the United States Naval Academy which graduates Naval and Marine Corps officers for the U.S. military.
Visitors often search for "Mass schedule, Naval Academy." That is a problem in a way. First, the Chaplains at the Academy minister to over 4,000 men and women of all Faiths and they take first precedence for liturgies. Second, it is a military installation and under the Archdiocese of the United States Military Services. So, while visits are encouraged, the Liturgical Schedule is very much for "in house" purposes unless one has been invited to a specific event.
Historic Annapolis has a gorgeous Redemptorist Church, St. Mary's located right in Annapolis city. St. Mary's has a full Mass schedule! Annapolis now also has a new chapel, St. John Neumann, which is located near the Severn River bridge. Finally, St. John the Evangelist Church is a huge parish located just north of Annapolis on Rt. 2 with a heavy Mass schedule including late Sunday afternoon Masses.
I urge visitors who plan on visiting to attend one of these locations especially with the new "Plebes" about to attend "Plebe summer." It is hectic here in the summer!
