Traditional Latin Mass in Maryland

This has appeared several times and the answer is "yes" and "sort of." The "sort of" is the beautiful Franciscan Monastery of the Holy Land . I have written about it before and it is located in D.C. There is a Franciscan Monastery on Folly Quarter Road in Ellicott City, MD . It is called the Companions of Saint Anthony and I have visited there. It is quite beautiful. This lists the Ministries , and there is a great emphasis on Marian Devotion (and especially to the Militia of the Immaculata of St. Maximilian Kolbe) which is decidedly Franciscan as St. Maximilian was a Franciscan Priest. The Chapel is shown here , and the upcoming events are illustrated here . I am not totally certain of this but a friend told me that Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Saint Theresa meet here. I will have to check on that more thoroughly.

I have posted the Religious Life Directory in Maryland and added it to the right menu bar under Blogroll and Website Favorites. I am deeply indebted to the Deo est Gloria ministry which keeps up this directory. Please use this hyperlink as the hyperlinks below change constantly and may become obsolete here.

I am often "searched" for the location of a particular Abbey or Monastery online (and usually within the United States). I have just located two delightful websites! Both links have been added to the Favorites Sites in the right menu! This site is the official Order of Saint Benedict website which has a "search form" for locating Abbeys, Monasteries and Schools . This site is courtesy of Dr. Deborah Vess of Georgia College and State University. It has Monasteries located worldwide categorized by Religious Order and location . It is also marvelous!

A new blog called Traditional Vocations Blog is now linked to the Blogroll on the right menu . The blog concentrates on vocations to both men's and women's traditional Religious Orders . One recent post featured a link to Monasteries, for example . Have a look!
