Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

I have two emails to post. The first is about a High Mass tonight at St. Mary's in Barnesville, MD to be celebrated by the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem. I wanted to provide additional information regarding the High Mass at St. Mary's in Barnesville, MD. The mass will be held on Tuesday, April 6, 2010 at 7:00 PM at St. Mary's in Barnesville, MD. Here is their website http://www.stmaryonline.com/ . There will also be a light reception in the church hall immediately following mass. During the reception, we will be given the opportunity to get to know the Canons. The second post is for a Mass this Saturday, April 10th, at Saint Alphonsus Church in Baltimore to be celebrated by Father Michael DeAscanis. Fr. DeAscanis will be offering a TLM at St. Alphonsus Church in Baltimore this Saturday, April 10th at 10:00 AM. All are invited to come.

My friend in West Virginia sent me a "head's up" on these videos: I filmed, with permission from Dom Daniel Augustine Oppenheimer of the Augustinian Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem, the Solemn High Mass that was offered on June 20, 2009 at St. Michael's Abbey in Silverado, CA. It still needs to be edited, but I did film the entire Mass. The first version will be a 10 minute short. Then, I will post the entire Mass in 10 minute increments.

BOYS CAMP WITH THE CANONS The Boys Camp with the Canons Regular of New Jerusalem will be on the First Week of August (3-8) in Charles Town, WV.

Those who wish to attend the TLM are traveling to St. John the Baptist in Front Royal, VA where the Mass is offered each Sunday as shown in the menu to the right. The Canons Regular of the New Je

For some reason, many people searching for the Holy Week schedule for Saint James in Charles Town, WV are missing it. It was posted here; please click this link .

Palm Sunday, April 5th - 3:00 PM Mass Parish Reconciliation Service – April 8th, Wednesday, 7:00 PM (Dom Daniel will be one of the priests hearing confessions) Good Friday Liturgy with Veneration of the Cross, April 10th - 12:00 noon Good Friday Stations of the Cross, April 10th - 3:00 PM Easter Sunday, April 12th - 3:00 PM Mass Easter Monday, April 13th – 8:00 AM Mass Easter Tuesday, April 14th – 8:00 AM Mass Low Sunday in Octave of Easter, April 19th – 9:30 AM Mass

I am delighted to say that I received an email from my contact at Saint James the Greater in WV. It appears that the Canons of the New Jerusalem plan to return to Saint James for Holy Week this year. When a schedule is finalized, I will post it. In the meantime, please consult this earlier post from a while back . It contains information on a Yahoo email list Group that this Parish is using to keep people informed on the TLM at Saint James. I would encourage you to join this Yahoo Group if this TLM Mass appeals to you as official information about Saint James in WV is released through that Group.

My friend and contact at Saint James the Greater in WV has emailed me an important note . I would invite everyone who wants the TLM at Saint James to attend the Latin Mass this Sunday, Feb. 1st at 9:30 AM , and to stay for a small reception for Fr. Dom Daniel, Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem . Fr. Dom Daniel is deciding on a location to establish a monastery. If the people want him to stay within this tri-state area, we are in need of people able to contribute financially or otherwise to show the Bishop (WV) that this community would not be a burden on the Diocese. Anyone interested in helping or keeping up-to-date can join this Yahoo Group: StJamesLatinMass@yahoogroups.com Finally, we ask for prayers for the Latin Mass community at St. James. Those attending this "occasional" TLM Mass apparently come from the local area, from parts of Western Maryland and from the Front Royal area of VA. I'm sure more will be discussed at the meeting after the TLM Mass.

I just received this by email: The Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem , established by then-Archbishop Raymond Burke of La Crosse, WI, will host a Vocation's Day on Saturday, January 3rd at the Old St James Parish Church on George Street, Charles Town, WV. This religious community celebrates the Liturgy in the traditional Latin form (Extraordinary form) . The day will commence at 8:00 AM and end at 1:00 PM and will include Mass. Youths or adults who are interested or who may be discerning a vocation to the priesthood are cordially invited to attend. Attendees are asked to bring a lunch and to indicate their desire to attend by sending an e-mail to Mrs. Schau (theschaus "at" hotmail "dot" com) before noon on Friday, January 2nd. There will be a Reception Brunch on Sunday, January 4th after the 9:30 AM High Mass in the Social Hall of St James (New) at the Crosswinds (Charles Town, WV) There is a home school visit with the Canons scheduled for Tuesday,
