Just received this email: On Wednesday, January 6th, 2010, the Canons Regular of the New Jerusalem will be celebrating the Feast of the Epiphany with a TLM Mass at 10:00 am at the Old St. James (Charles Town, WV). Additionally, they will celebrate another TLM Mass on the same day at St. John the Baptist in Front Royal, VA at 7:00 pm. Both Masses have been posted to the Events Calendar .

I just received this email: Dear friends, Just passing this information: St. John the Baptist Church in Front Royal, VA will be offering a Solemn High Mass on Thursday - Ascension Thursday- at 7:00 pm. I checked the Parish bulletin for May 17th and there was no mention of this. As St. John's did have a May Crowning yesterday after their Sunday TLM, I pray that this was announced then. My source has been totally reliable!

You will find all of the following: Saint John the Baptist Church TLM and May Crowning, May 17th Saint Bernadette Church, Silver Spring, TLM Mass on Ascension Thursday, May 21st Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, Discernment Retreat, May 23rd USA Book Tour of Piers Paul Read, "The Death of a Pope" in the DC area on May 31st Anyone may post events to this site pending my approval or you may send me an email.

I received this email and have permission to post it. The link is to a High Mass celebrated at Saint John the Baptist Church in Front Royal, VA. We found a video on the internet of a Latin Mass we actually attended a couple of months a go in Front Royal. I thought some of you would like to watch it. It was the last Mass that Fr. Pollard celebrated before Fr. Carr was assigned to that Parish. The church was absolutely packed! The homily and the music were great!!! St. John's offers the TLM every Sunday at 12:30 pm. We go there often, and will continue to do so until we have our own Mass on a weekly basis. High Mass at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church Celebrant: Fr. Richard Pollard Assisting priests: Fr Daniel Gee and another priest, Chaplains of Christendom College Homilist: Fr. Jerome Fassano, Pastor of St. John's Music: Christendom College Schola Here is the link to the video

I received this email today from a colleague: On Sunday, May 17th, and immediately after the 12:30 TLM, St. John the Baptist Church in Front Royal will be having a Procession down Main Street, followed by a May Crowning at the Gazebo. The St. John's Schola will be leading us in singing Marian hymns, then we will be praying the Rosary as we walk. A lovely five-foot tall vintage statue of Our Lady of Fatima will be carried through town and will have a Knights of Columbus honor guard. Fr. Carr will then consecrate the town and county to the Immaculate Heart. At the end of the procession, we invite all to a finger-food and coffee social... Please join us in giving public honor to Our Blessed Mother. Rain or Shine. (Expected start time of procession is 1:45) Click for Calendar (opens New Window)

I received an email with some news on a local TLM Parish, Saint John the Baptist in Front Royal, VA : There is a very well established community in Front Royal, VA for the Traditional Mass at St. John the Baptist Catholic Church . We attend this Mass every once in a while. In addition to their Sunday Tridentine Mass at 12:30, their new Pastor, Fr. Fassano, has recently added two weekly masses: On Fridays at 7:00 pm , and on Saturdays at 8:30 am (except on 1st Saturdays). This is not in their website yet, but I called the Parish office and they confirmed this information. Thanks for the news tip!

I have added a new TLM Mass to the right menu. The Mass is celebrated at Saint John the Baptist Parish in Front Royal, VA on Sundays at 12:30 PM . Saint John's is in the Diocese of Arlington and it is a TLM Mass as is the one at St. Lawrence. You will find both now listed in the menu bar . I have also specified which Masses are Latin Novus Ordo . If the Mass location does not stipulate "Latin Novus Ordo ," the Mass location is celebrating the Usus Antiquior . I may have erred, but I believe the menu is accurate . If one of the Parishes is now holding a Mass in the Extraordinary Form , or if you know of one not listed, please contact me ! I am particularly interested in adding TLM Masses in West Virginia or Southern PA . I also wish to update the Saint James the Greater website when it is complete.
