Pilgrims gathered at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle in Washington, DC.

The Second Semi-Annual National Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage for the Restoration of the Latin Mass took place on Saturday, March 25, 2023, the Feast of the Annunciation.

Cruel and unjust restrictions on the celebration of Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), having taken effect last fall, continue to plague the Catholic faithful of the Diocese of Arlington and the Archdiocese of Washington, as well as many other places throughout the world.

Over 100 faithful sons and daughters of Holy Mother Church from near and far braved the cold and heavy rain to make the 5-mile pilgrimage from St. Thomas More Cathedral in Arlington, Virginia, to St. Matthew the Apostle Cathedral in Washington, DC, praying for the restoration of the liberty of the Traditional Latin Mass and sacraments.

So long as the Christifideles continue to suffer under these restrictions, it will remain necessary to make public acts of penance and reparation, and to witness boldly and openly to the beauty and evangelistic power of the traditional Roman Rite liturgy. And so the National Summorum Pontificum Pilgrimage will continue until unfettered access to the Latin Mass is restored to the faithful.

Next pilgrimage will be Saturday, September 9, 2023.
