Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

Eric Sammons of the blog, The Divine Life , brought this to our attention last week. Here is the update to the Guadalupe Radio Network website : The Guadalupe Radio Network is bringing Catholic Radio to Washington D.C. With great thanks and praise to almighty God as we want to announce that the nation's capitol will soon be the home of another Guadalupe Radio Network station. On May 5th WMET 1160 AM will begin broadcasting Catholic Radio 24 hours a day. And what an amazing impact this station will have in bringing souls closer to our Lord and the holy Saints, an impact that has the potential to reach far beyond the immediate listening area. WMET is a powerful 50,000 watt AM radio station which will blanket all of Washington D.C. and the surrounding area with the beautiful message of Christ's Good News through His One, Holy Catholic Church. In fact, the signal covers Washington DC and stretches on into Baltimore, Annapolis and beyond Arlington VA, along with doze...

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. Ma...

Michael Linton posted this story on May 16th on the First Things Blog . As he relates in his piece: Like many of us reading these pages, I was in the middle of that spring migration known as “bringing the kid home from college for the summer break” (and, we hope, the summer job). My daughter and I were having breakfast at the local diner with seven of her friends (who had helped us schlep her gear to the car–always a good idea to reward cheap labor), and I was asking them about their first year in college. What did they like about it? What didn’t they? What were the big surprises, how were the roommates? All those kinds of questions I’ve learned are fairly innocuous ways to get to know 19-year-olds and to pick up a little local flavor and some entertaining gossip. After a couple of sentences complaining about the food, they were ignoring me and talking between themselves. Talking about Aristotle. And Plato. About the nature of virtue in the Nicomachean Ethics and how Verdi captured...

George P. Matysek Jr. reports in The Catholic Review Online that the Maryland March for Life will be March 13th . Archbishop Edwin F. O'Brien will kick off the March by celebrating Mass at St. Mary's in Annapolis at 6:00 PM. "Pro-life supporters from across the state plan to use the upcoming March 13 Maryland March for Life in Annapolis to build support for crisis pregnancy centers and defeat a bill they say would hinder outreach to expectant mothers. Their efforts will be focused on Senate Bill 690/House Bill 1146, a measure that would require crisis pregnancy centers to tell women they are not required to provide factually accurate information to clients. The measure is designed to raise suspicions about pregnancy centers, according to Deacon Richard “Monti” Montalto, co-chair of the Maryland March for Life and coordinator of “Pro-Life Initiative Baltimore.” For more information, read the article or visit the website Maryland March for Life .
