First Anglican Use Mass in Northern Virginia

The St. Thomas of Canterbury Anglican Use Society of Washington, DC and Northern Virginia will hold a Requiem Mass on Sept. 11, 2011 at 5:00 p.m. at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Annandale, VA. To my knowledge, this will be the first time an Anglican Use Mass has ever been celebrated in the state of Virginia--publicly, at least.

Our celebrant, Fr. Eric Bergman of the St. Thomas More Society, will also speak at St. James' Catholic Church in nearby Falls Church, VA on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 10-11, at 7:30 p.m., at the invitation of the Institute of Catholic Culture (ICC).  The talks, entitled "Roots of Immorality," will focus on the fallout from the 1930 Lambeth Conference.  The ICC flyer is posted here.

Admission is free.  Please join us if you can.  The text of our invitation/flyer is posted below.
