Announcing the ALMS Fellowship!

• This will be a gathering of tradition-minded Catholics in and around the Arlington diocese, who come together for prayer, service, and social gatherings.
• If you are interested in joining, we have set up a Telegram chat and read-only channel for it. Please email us at in...@latinmasarlington.org if you would like to be added.
• Major Fellowship events will be shared in this general ALMS newsletter. The Telegram channel is recommended to receive real-time updates.
  

Latin Mass schedule for Advent 2022

• ALMS has assembled a schedule of special TLMs for Advent, including Rorate and Ember Day Masses.
• We have also put together a schedule for Christmas through the Octave Day.
• Please share these pages with your friends and on social media!

Saturdays at 10 AM: Weekly Rosary Rally for the Latin Mass

• This Saturday and every Saturday, join us at the Apostolic Nunciature for a Rosary Rally for the Latin Mass.
• We will pray the Holy Rosary in Latin, punctuated by appropriate hymns between the mysteries.
• A gathering for brunch may follow at a nearby restaurant. This is a great opportunity to meet people and build fellowship!
• Location: Apostolic Nunciature of the Holy See, 3339 Massachusetts Ave, Washington, DC
• There is plentiful, free street parking on 34th St NW, adjacent to the Nunciature.
• Let us know you're coming: Facebook event here

First Saturday Pilgrimages (Jan. 7, Feb. 4., etc.)

• Interested in doing the Chartres pilgrimage next year, and looking for a group to go with and train with?
• Love Catholic devotional pilgrimages?
• Consider joining us for First Saturday pilgrimages!
• The next one is this Saturday, January 7, 2023.
• It's a great way to revive Catholic tradition, deepen your faith and prayer life, and stay (or get) in shape.
• Let us know you're coming: Facebook event here

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!
