STOP! Don't Leave!!!! Let me help!!!! This blog can help. Notice that right above in the Blue Field called the "header," where it says "TRADITIONAL LATIN MASS IN MARYLAND," there are hyperlinks. Those go to locations. So, if you are looking for the Propers for the Vigil or Easter , click #3! If you are looking for a Traditional Latin Mass or Extraordinary Form Mass , click #1. If you are looking for a Mass outside of Maryland (that means you landed here from Kansas, New York, California), click #2. You can Google again, but many land here later...I know that from experience! One gem is called MassTimes.org . It is fantastic because it is International and will locate a specific Church in your area, or a time for Mass to begin, or what language Mass it is in! Finally, if you go down the UPPER RIGHT SIDE of this menu (over here-->>), I do have some parishes linked that offer the Latin Mass (Novus Ordo) or the TLM. For those in this are...

Okay, if you have landed here, you are in the right place, but you will have to do this logically... First, you need to find a Parish. Then, you need to call the Rectory and find out when Masses or Services are held; many have recordings at this time of year. This is not listed in any master database...sorry, I wish I could say otherwise. In the Maryland, DC, Arlington area: First, if you are looking for the Extraordinary Form Mass, the Usus Antiquior , the Tridentine, a Latin Mass or the Gregorian Rite, those Holy Week listings are here (and will be updated all week). If you are simply looking for a "Novus Ordo" or "regular" Sunday Mass (or Passion Service), proceed as follows: Near Baltimore and not near D.C. or its adjacent Maryland suburbs, find a Parish here . In Maryland but on the Eastern Shore near Salisbury or Ocean City, go here . In D.C. or along the Western shore of Maryland along the Chesapeake Bay, find a Parish here . South of D.C. and across the ...

I am indebted to The New Liturgical Movement for pointing me to this beautiful blog, Dignare Me Laudare Te, Virgo Sacrata . "Matthew" has a beautiful photoessay on the Easter Vigil at Saint Alphonsus Church in Baltimore . The celebrant was Monsignor Arthur W. Bastress . Matthew also included this comment: For the third time in four years, I traveled up to St. Alphonsus Catholic Church in Baltimore, Maryland for the Easter Vigil according to the 1962 Roman Missal (Traditional Latin Mass). This church is a favorite of mine, not merely because of the beautiful Gothic architecture and decoration, but also because of its connection to St. John Neumann, who was pastor there before becoming Bishop of Philadelphia. He was also consecrated a bishop in this church. By "travel up," I assume he means from Arlington, VA which is to the south. It is a gorgeous Church as these photos show . Thanks, Matthew! He also posts photos from the Easter Sunday Mass at Georgetown Un...

Sitemeter is fascinating since the "search strings" show what people are searching for. Apparently, the term "Easter Vigil" is misunderstood since many Catholics have their routine Sunday "Vigil" Mass at 4:30 or 5:00 on Saturday. This is taken from the USCCB website : 9. When should the Easter Vigil take place? The Vigil, by its very nature, ought to take place at night. It is not begun before nightfall and should end before daybreak on Easter Sunday. The celebration of the Easter Vigil takes the place of the Office of Readings. The Easter Vigil begins and ends in darkness . It is a nocturnal vigil , retaining its ancient character of vigilance, and expectation, as the Christian people await the resurrection of the Lord during the night. Fire is blessed and the paschal candle is lighted to illumine the night so that all may hear the Easter proclamation and listen to the word of God proclaimed in the Scriptures. For this reason the Service of Light tak...

Rule #1 : If you are interested in attending either a TLM Vigil Mass or Easter Sunday TLM Mass , FIRST check the Parishes located to your RIGHT on the TLM menu I've posted . These have TLM Masses weekly; their websites should have information on the TLM or Vigil and its time. Rule #2 : If you can't find what you need, here is the best list I can come up with on short notice of my past posts and from surveying the internet locally: Baltimore/MD Access: Saint Alphonsus Church, Baltimore, MD, TLM Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption, Baltimore, MD, Latin Novus Ordo ANY Catholic Mass in Maryland; Click on the City or Locale for a Full List Near You Washington, DC or Virginia Access: Dominican House of Studies, Washington, DC DC Catholic Blog Calendar Franciscan Monastery, Washington, DC, Easter Vigil (subject to timeout errors ) TLM or Latin Mass in DC/VA locations Campus Mass at UMaryland, College Park Campus Masses Centered In or Near College Park, MD West Virgi...

This was posted previously, but I thought I'd do it once more . Click this link for a previous post summarizing the schedules here (Baltimore) and in D.C. I have posted the schedules for Saint Alphonsus and for Saint James the Greater in Charles Town, WV. DC Catholic has a link to the DC calendar of events. Also note the list of Parishes on the menu bar to the right . Many have their bulletins online on their website and so will have their particular Holy Week schedules. Also, check here . This is a search from MassTimes.org and lists ALL Latin Masses in the region (both the TLM and the Ordinary Form). This may help you narrow your search. Note that Silver Spring was chosen arbitrarily as the "center" for this search. Finally, here is a list of all Parishes in the Baltimore metro region . The times include Sunday Mass and Vigils. Many have web pages. If you know the zip code you are visiting, you should be able to find a "close fit."
