The Traditional Latin Mass Congregation of Silver Spring has announced that the Mass scheduled to be offered on Sunday, January 24, at Old St. John the Evangelist Church in Forest Glen, has been canceled because of anticipated poor road conditions, access, and parking due to this weekend’s winter storm.

We direct our readers to this notice from the Archdiocese of Washington:

With inclement weather predicted for the next couple of days, we wish to remind the faithful that Masses in archdiocesan parishes will be celebrated as regularly scheduled, however, dangerous travel/road conditions are legitimate excuses from fulfilling the Sunday Mass obligation.
