Due to the unavailability of a celebrant, the Traditional Latin Mass will not be celebrated at the Silver Spring TLM Congregation on Sunday, July 23, or on Sunday, July 30. We encourage attendees to consult our seven-day schedule to find a Traditional Mass elsewhere in the area.
The regular Sunday and holy day Mass schedule at Silver Spring will resume in August.
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.
Readers planning to attend Masses anywhere in the Washington area this weekend are advised to check parish web pages and this site for schedule updates. Those unable to attend Mass may wish to view the Traditional Mass at St. Thomas More Priory broadcast online by Magnificat Media at 9:00 am Sunday.
The Traditional Latin Mass (Extraordinary Form) that was scheduled to be offered this Saturday by Reverend Father Richard Carr at St. Michael Church in Annandale has been cancelled. Because of the heavy snow forecast, it is anticipated that snow removal activities in the parking lot will impede access to the church.
Readers planning to attend Masses anywhere in the Washington area this weekend are advised to check parish web pages and this site for schedule updates.
In the absence of an available celebrant, no Mass will be offered Sunday, December 27, at the Traditional Latin Mass Congregation of Silver Spring, Maryland. Please consult our seven-day schedule for other Traditional Masses to be offered in the Washington, D.C., area.

In an email note from a kind reader, we are informed that Monsignor Arthur Bastress, 87, pastor of St. Alphonsus Church in Baltimore, has been a patient at Baltimore’s Mercy Hospital since Sunday afternoon suffering from infections in his left wrist and elbow, which may require surgery.
We ask that, in your charity, you pray for Msgr. Bastress’ full recovery to health of body and soul.
There will be no Friday Traditional Latin Mass at St. Alphonsus on October 31.
