From a reader:
Hello Father Zuhlsdorf,
I was hoping you might alert your readers of a High Traditional Latin Mass on Thursday, May 22, 2008, the Feast of Corpus Christi, at Saint Mary, Mother of God Catholic Church in Washington DC.
The church is at 727 5th Street Northwest and the High Mass, with procession of the Most Blessed Sacrament following (at least, this is what happened last year, with the singing of Pange Lingua by the great schola cantorum) is at 7:00 p.m. or 7:30 p.m. (they sometimes switch the time around; another of your readers from DC might know the exact time, but better to arrive at 7 to prepare and have a seat).

Weather outlook is great – sunny and 78F!
See details in my post, with a video preview from previous years.
Sacred Music: For the solemnity of Corpus Christi (May 25) for the noon Mass, the choir and orchestra will perform the Mozart “Credo” Mass and five movements from Bach’s Pentecost Cantatas (BWV 172, 74 and 34).
If you come, get there before 11:30. Parking will be tight.
