Visitors ask...Arabic Catholic Churches...Where?

I have continued to receive queries on "Arabic Catholic Churches" and I would love to assist those who are seeking this Mass. I asked my "resident expert" friend about this, and she gave me the following advice for those looking for such a Church. "First, the closest thing that one is likely to find is the Maronite Churches which use Aramaic in their Divine Liturgy. The closest you can come to Baltimore is Our Lady of Lebanon in Washington DC . This is a new church. Otherwise, there are 2 Maronite Churches in Virginia: St. Elias Maronite Catholic Church in Roanoke and St. Anthony in Glen Allen, VA . Otherwise, one would need to seek out a Chaldean Catholic Church. I have only located two - one in MI and CA." So, the 3 Maronite Catholic Churches are the closest thing one is likely to find . If you search for "Syro-Malabar" Churches in the blog search engine (this suggestion is from Yahoo), you will turn up the Mission Churches of the Sy

Update, February 9th, 2011 Since this was initially posted, I have redesigned this blog. There are menu options in the upper right of the navigation lane. One links to a page which contains many local TLM's that can be found in MD, DC, VA, PA, WV, and DE. Please try here first. Another option in the menu has links to international TLM's . Please try both of these. You will find several options for looking for a TLM. Note that I post new local TLMs the moment I hear of them and the news is authenticated.

First Things Blog: Coming to a Town Near You

Joseph Bottum of the Catholic Magazine, First Things , reminds us that he will be in Washington, D.C. on March 17th, 2008 : [...] On Monday, March 17, at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. Called “Living with the Dead: Why Cities Need Cemeteries and Nations Need Memorials,” it’s at 7:00 pm in the ICC auditorium . Cosponsored by the Tocqueville Forum at Georgetown and National Civic Art Society , the lecture is a specific application to civil architecture and urban design of the work I did in “ Death & Politics ,” the long essay on the centrality of grief to political theory that appeared this summer in First Things . The respondents will be National Endowment for the Arts chairman Dana Gioia, the New Criterion ’s Roger Kimball, and the architectural historian Denis McNamara. A reception will follow the lecture, I’m told. The events is open to the public, and no RSVP is needed, although you might drop them an email to say you’re coming, so they can get a rough count for t

Archd. of Washington, DC: over complicating Summorum Pontificum?

Fr. Zuhlsdorf received a copy of a letter sent to priests in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C . The letter was sent in PDF format but he reproduces one segment on his blog: In the near future, Archbishop Wuerl will appoint a Coordinator of the Extraordinary Form to serve as chaiman of the special committee. Because the archbishop has the responsibility to foster a common discipline in the celebration of the sacrament within the archdiocese (C. 392), his permission must be received prior to making any permanent commitments by a parish for the public celebration of the Extraordinary Form on a regular basis. This also is in accord with Article 5 of Summorum Pontificum which state that public or regularly scheduled Masses be offered under the guidance of the bishop in accordance with canon 392, avoiding discord and favoring the unity of the whole Church. To request this permission pastors first must seek the review and counsel of the Coordinator of the Extraordinary Form, who will
