Latin Mass Parishes in Neighboring Dioceses
Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.
Effective Sept. 21, 2022, Cardinal Gregory has implemented Traditionis custodes in the Archdiocese of Washington, imposing heavy restrictions on the celebration of the traditional Latin Mass. The norms are to be reviewed after three years, i.e. in 2025.
Under these norms, only the Franciscan Monastery, Old St. John, and St. Dominic Mission are approved locations for the public celebration of the TLM.
Additionally, these norms restrict the public celebration of the TLM in the Archdiocese to Sundays only, and explicitly prohibit it on Christmas Day (even if it should fall on a Sunday), during the Sacred Triduum, on Easter Sunday, and on Pentecost Sunday.
Public celebrations of the traditional Divine Office are not implicated.
Besides the locations listed immediately below, residents of the Archdiocese of Washington may also be interested in options in neighboring jurisdictions: the closest would be St. Rita in Alexandria, Va., and St. John the Beloved in McLean, Va., which are both parishes of the Diocese of Arlington; and the National Shrine of St. Alphonsus Liguori in Baltimore, Md., which is in the Archdiocese of Baltimore and administered by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter.

Diocese of Richmond, Va.
Effective July 5, 2024, the Diocese of Richmond has implemented Traditionis custodes. The two-year indult from Rome for all traditional Latin Masses at diocesan parishes has expired without being renewed. The parishes administered by the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter – St. Joseph in Richmond and St. Benedict in Chesapeake – are unaffected and will continue to offer the TLM.
The three diocesan parishes whose indult expired – Holy Comforter in Charlottesville, St. Joseph in Petersburg, and All Saints in Floyd – are attempting to have their indults renewed. Please pray for a positive outcome. In the meantime, the TLM will no longer be available at these or any other diocesan parishes.
The nearest remaining approved TLMs, to the best of our knowledge, are as follows:
For Holy Comforter parishioners: St. Joseph (FSSP) in Richmond, and St. John the Baptist / Chelsea Academy (Diocese of Arlington) in Front Royal.
For St. Joseph, Petersburg, parishioners: St. Joseph (FSSP) in Richmond.
For All Saints parishioners: Our Lady of Grace in Greensboro, NC.
