Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

This link goes to the website of the Archdiocese of Baltimore . It is for Sunday Masses. All you need to do is to specific a "TIME" in the toggle box and the Parish having that Mass will show up. I would check to be sure that it is being held on Easter, but I am betting it will be. This goes to the Archdiocese of Washingto n and this goes to the Diocese of Arlington . Both have similar search boxes for Mass Times. Happy Easter and I hope you make Mass!

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, I'm getting hundreds of requests. If you are in the Archdiocese of Baltimore , look here. The instructions are fairly straightforward. If you are in the Archdiocese of Washington, check the Blogroll and Favorites menu on the right menu bar. The AD of DC has a website and it too lists ALL parishes . If you are from outside the region, look at the header which contains the name "Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland." There is text which reads MassTimes.org . Click that hyperlink and simply state where you are. It will locate parishes everywhere in the US, Canada and even internationally. You will simply have to state that you are seeking a Holy Day and look at the websites which come back to you. That's the best I can do, friends! Good hunting!

I admire the website of the Archdiocese of Baltimore found here ( it is also listed in the Blogroll and Favorites in the Right Menu ). I check it often for updates. I was not aware of this but a maroon menu bar along the top announces "Parishes " among other options. If you move the mouse over "Parishes," you can find Masses listed alphabetically, by Vicariate, by language, by time, by day of the week, for holydays, etc. Here, for example, one can dial in a day, a time and a listing of Masses in the Archdiocese will appear ! It also works for Holydays and Vigils. This shows the "language" discriminator. It can be used to find Latin, Tridentine, Byzantine Masses, etc . Very nice!

A cursory glance will reveal that this blog is dedicated to be a clearinghouse for the Latin or TLM (Traditional) Mass. I have done the best I can to find Masses for Christmas Eve or Christmas Day which are TLM Masses . If you are searching for a Novus Ordo (Ordinary Form) Mass near you or near to where you are visiting, please go here: MassTimes.org . This site lists Masses by Diocese, by Zip Code or by City. If you find Masses that are near your destination, the best bet is to call the Rectory and listen to when the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses are scheduled. At this time of year, in an Archdiocese the size of Baltimore or Washington, most rectories will have telephone recordings. The list WILL NOT be posted on MassTimes.org since this is considered a "two-day" holy day and huge attendance is expected. I have checked the Archdiocesan websites. Neither Baltimore nor DC has a list of Parishes with their Christmas schedules. You might find it listed in th...

They simply don't make it any easier than this. If you go here, you'll find the "Parish" page . Note that the Parishes are organized alphabetically , by county (using a map) and by Vicariate (Archbishop O'Brien has several Auxiliary Bishops each of whom has an area of jurisdiction). Below this, one can search for a Mass by "time and day." Put in the day and select the time and a Mass is found for you here . Note that one can search for Confession by time and day here . Here is a list of the Shrines, Grottos and also the Parishes of the Byzantine Rite . And for those looking for a Mass by language, for those who are hearing impaired and so on, go here . Hat tip! It just doesn't get any easier than that!

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."

Dear Friends, My blog Sitemeter shows that some of you visiting are using the words, "Mass" and "Maryland" and landing on this page. This is becoming more frequent. Furthermore, many are not necessarily looking for links to the TLM (which are found linked in the menu to the right). First, if you check the menu to the right under my Blogroll and Favorite Websites, there is a marvelous service labeled MassTimes.Org . It will find everything from "Masses" to "Eucharistic Adoration" to "Confessions" if you begin with a City, State, Zip Code, Diocese (or Country, County, etc.) and work from there. Someone today was searching for the "Masses at the University of Maryland College Park Chapel" this morning. Using MassTimes.org, I searched "College Park, MD" and worked from there. I got Masses in the Archdiocese of Washington, scrolled down to the heading Universities , and found this link: University of MD Catholic ...
