Okay, I'm getting hundreds of requests. If you are in the Archdiocese of Baltimore , look here. The instructions are fairly straightforward. If you are in the Archdiocese of Washington, check the Blogroll and Favorites menu on the right menu bar. The AD of DC has a website and it too lists ALL parishes . If you are from outside the region, look at the header which contains the name "Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland." There is text which reads MassTimes.org . Click that hyperlink and simply state where you are. It will locate parishes everywhere in the US, Canada and even internationally. You will simply have to state that you are seeking a Holy Day and look at the websites which come back to you. That's the best I can do, friends! Good hunting!

Note that Confessions are heard at Saint Alphonsus each weekday from 11:30 until about noon. Saint Jude Shrine's Ash Wednesday Masses are listed here . Masses (OF) and Ashes are at 7:00 AM, 7:45, 12 NOON, 5:45 PM, and 7:45 PM . Note that Saint Jude's has a nice parking lot just across the street from the Church. The National Shrine of the Basilica of the Assumption has this schedule (scroll down to Wednesday, February 25th). These are OF Masses.

The same Readings are used if an Ash Wednesday service is held as the Liturgy of the Word is utilized in the Service ordinarily. Jl 2:12-18 Even now, says the LORD, return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Rend your hearts, not your garments, and return to the LORD, your God. For gracious and merciful is he, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment. Perhaps he will again relent and leave behind him a blessing, Offerings and libations for the LORD, your God. Blow the trumpet in Zion! proclaim a fast, call an assembly; Gather the people, notify the congregation; Assemble the elders, gather the children and the infants at the breast; Let the bridegroom quit his room and the bride her chamber. Between the porch and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep, And say, “Spare, O LORD, you
