This blog is devoted to the Traditional Latin Mass (or Tridentine). A great many visitors, however, search this blog for ANY Masses at the Cathedrals and National Shrines especially with the Advent and Christmas season approaching. Thankfully, these Churches are now using automated calendars. The links below are to the Calendars of the various Cathedrals or Shrines . The National Shrine of the Assumption in Baltimore, and the Cathedral of Saint Matthew in DC do offer the Latin Mass in the Regular Form (Novus Ordo) .
