Father John Zuhlsdorf has posted an email with the two "major events" for this coming weekend . First, there is the F.S.S.P.

The "roundup" for today has several very important articles about which you should be aware. I will place these three items "first" in the "roundup list" and mark them in maroon.

I am deeply indebted to my email friend, "J." for sending this along. This year the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter will be making their annual pilgrimage of reparation to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC, to thank Our Lady, patroness of America for all the graces she has showered upon us, particularly in the recent visit of his Holiness Pope Benedict XVI, and to make reparation for all the sins of our nation. Concluding their 3-day pilgrimage along the C&O canal, the kind permission of the Rector, Msrg. Rossi, having been granted, they will celebrate a Solemn High Mass on the main altar of the Crypt chapel in the Basilca at 6 pm, Saturday, June 7th. The celebrant will be the newly ordained Rev. Jonathan Romanoski FSSP. All are welcome to attend, as the Crypt chapel will accomodate many. The F.S.S.P. post is here . Father Romanoski will celebrate a Solemn High Mass at St. Alphonsus Church as posted here.

I have had a number of souls seeking information on the Carmelite Order in the metro area. The Baltimore Carmel's website is here . The location is on Dulaney Valley Road in Towson, MD . This is a religious Order but I believe there is a Lay group attached. I would definitely contact these Sisters to inquire about a Lay affiliate . The National website lists this Lay Carmelite Community in Washington, DC . This is clearly an excellent starting point for further information.

My colleague who informs me of "all things Tridentine ," has sent this by email: There will be a Solemn High Mass in the Extraordinary Form ( Tridentine) on Saturday the 7th of June at 6 PM. This will NOT be in the Lady of Lourdes Chapel. Instead, it will be celebrated on the Main Altar in the Crypt Chapel of the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C . This will be the concluding Mass of the Fraternity's pilgrimage. I will post more if and when I get an update .

Jeffrey Tucker of The New Liturgical Movement is not encouraged by what he has discovered . ..

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
