TeresaBenedicta Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 For the next three weeks I will be living a block away from the National Shrine, and right next to door to the Franciscan Monastery. These are the daily Mass and confession times available to me: National Shrine 7AM, 7:30AM, 8AM, 8:30AM, 12:15PM, 5:15PM Masses 7:45-8:15AM, 10-Noon, 3:30-6PM Confessions Franciscan Monastery 6AM & 7AM Masses 9-4PM Confessions Add that together with living with religious... I'm pretty sure I'm in Catholic disneyland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 (edited) And I bet you'll be able to hear the carillon from there. (Sundays at 2:30 PM according to my info, but it could be different during the summer.) Edited August 2, 2011 by USAirwaysIHS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cherie Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 I'm not too far from DC, we should meet up for a quick hello! My husband and I were hoping to take Travis on a pilgrimage to the Shrine before too long anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovemberFourth Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Oh I am envious. I used to be similarly blessed when I lived in Madrid (close to two separate churches. Choice of several masses each day. Now, in the UK, I have access to a maximum of three masses a week, and two of those during working hours.

loveletslive Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 (edited) i think i have you beat . while i was living in budapest i had about 10 churches all within 15 minutes of my apartment that each had anywhere from 3-5 daily masses each (the basilica had a mass almost every hour from 6am until noon) + two perpetual adoration chapels + confessions a few times a day if only it was like this everywhere!
