Saturday, March 25, 2023: 2nd Semi-Annual National Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage

• After the great success of the first Summorum Pilgrimage last month, and mindful that the present restrictions on the TLM can never be allowed to become the New Normal, we have decided to make the Pilgrimage a semi-annual occurrence.
  
• Save the date! The 2nd Semi-Annual Pilgrimage will take place on the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Saturday, March 25, 2023 – a providential contradiction to the Arlington diocese's restrictions that took effect on the Feast of the Nativity of Mary this year.
• Further details will be announced as we approach the day. In the meantime, please share the date with your friends and family – we're hoping to draw an even larger turnout than last month's pilgrimage!
