Report: Bishop Schneider's Pontifical Mass in Front Royal for Feast of Blessed Karl - 2022

On Friday, 21 October 2022, Bishop Athanasius Schneider, ORC, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Mary Most Holy in Astana, Kazakhstan, offered a Traditional Latin Solemn Pontifical Mass at Chelsea Academy's St. Thomas More Chapel in Front Royal, Virginia, for the Feast of Blessed Karl of Austria.  It was standing room only in the chapel for Mass.  A member of Woodlawn Council 2161 was in attendance.

Bishop Schneider began his sermon with these words, "We gather today in the spirit of the catacombs."  He has been banned from offering the Blessed Karl Mass in the Archdiocese of Washington, DC, as he had done for several years.  In recent years he has celebrated the feast day at a parish church in Gainesville, VA, but this year he was banned from offering the Traditional Latin Mass in a parish church, being forced to use a converted gymnasium chapel.

National Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage in Washington, DC - 17 Sep 2022

From our friends at the Society of St. Hugh Cluny:

Dear Friends,

Please consider making plans to attend this event in Washington and Arlington,  to show our support for our friends in the Washington area and to protest  recent cancellations of  the Traditional Mass:

Join us on Saturday September 17, 2022 at 9 AM for the National Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage. 

We will mark the 15th anniversary of Benedict XVI’s liberation of the Traditional Latin Mass, and make a public act of sorrow/support of what we will be losing as the Diocese of Arlington and Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. impose devastating new restrictions on the celebration of the TLM. 

The Arlington Diocese restrictions go into effect on September 8, while the Washington Archdiocese’s draconian implementation of the papal decree starts 13 days later on the 21st.

The pilgrimage will begin at 9 AM on Saturday, September 17 at the Cathedral of Saint Thomas More in Arlington, VA, will end when we reach St. Matthew’s Cathedral in DC, and should take about two hours. 

For updates, we now have an instagram, twitter, and Facebook page (all of which can be found @tlmpilgrimage on the respective apps), and we now have a website being tlmpilgrimage.com. 

Please share, as we want this to be as large as possible for such an occasion.
