Visitors ask...TLM in Charles Town, Frederick, Front Royal and Harpers Ferry...Quo Vadis?

I have been getting a number of "queue" searches for the TLM in Charles Town, Frederick, Front Royal and/or Harpers Ferry. You may have missed this post from several weeks back . It is important for you to read it carefully as I distilled what I could. In essence, THE source for news on the TLM for these communities now is covered by a Yahoo group begun by those interested in keeping the TLM at Charles Town, WV. I cannot say much more as I understand that the situation is being discussed on the other forum. I can say that the TLM was being celebrated by visiting members of the Canons of the New Jerusalem, and that these priests have returned to the West Coast (as I understand it). Whether the TLM will be available in the " corners " area of WV, VA and MD is not known to me. I am sure the Yahoo group will contain more information, and I will post any "official" information I receive (as from a Parish).

Congratulations and a humble request...

Congratulations on your first anniversary as Archbishop of the "Premier See." Interest in the Usus Antiquior is definitely here, Your Excellency! The F.S.S.P. is located in Scranton, PA, Richmond, VA, and Atlanta, GA . Might Baltimore be included in the future, perhaps? I pray for you daily! Thank you for being our Shepherd! God bless and keep you always!

Visitors ask...Syro-Malabar Catholic Missions in the Area?

I have had this question on several occasions, but was unable to find anything on the Archdiocesan website. That would not be a surprise as I believe the Syro-Malabar Church falls under its own Bishop . With some searching, I found this is true and located in Chicago. With a bit of searching, I found a Syromalabar Mission of Baltimore at this website . This gives more explanation about the Syro-Malabar Church . And this link has the list of services and the location of the Church . The Syro Malabar Diocese of Chicago has a list of Churches and Missions . Note that this list includes a Church in Hagerstown, MD but the website link directs one to a Parish in Ohio. St. Mary Catholic Church 224 W. Washington Street Hagerstown, MD 21740 Please inquire locally about this Mission in Hagerstown and whether it is still active.
