Good Friday Shuttles

The Arlington Latin Mass Society has booked shuttle busses to take worshippers from various locations in the Diocese of Arlington and the Archdiocese of Washington to the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter parishes in Baltimore (National Shrine of St. Alphonsus Liguori) and Richmond (St. Joseph Church) for the traditional rites of Good Friday.

St. Alphonsus in Baltimore will offer the Mass of the Pre-Sanctified from the pre-1955 Missal.

St. Joseph in Richmond will offer the Solemn Liturgy of the Passion from the 1962 Missal.

Please see the flyer at left/above for shuttle pickup times and locations, and please share this information with anyone who may benefit.

If you plan to take a shuttle, please sign up here and indicate the number of passengers in your party, including children: tinyurl.com/alms-good-friday-2024

Cost per passenger: $25 per individual, or $100 per family of 4 or more. We are glad to help relieve the burden of travel under Arlington and Washington's current TLM restrictions. That said, these shuttles cost thousands of dollars to arrange, and so we must ask participants to contribute to help offset the cost.
