St. Vincent de Paul Church

Finally had a chance last winter to attend the Saturday midnight mass which occurred every Saturday at 12:15am – yes in the AM!
It was cool to be able to attend mass that late and still meeting the Saturday vigil requirements to be able to count for Sunday. Then I tried to attend the same mass after about a 1 year gap and to my great dismay, they have removed that mass from their schedule. I was bummed. I hope they restore that mass. There were at least 20 – 30 people that attended the mass, when I tried it last year. You could see and feel the history of the old structure.
Update: I found out that the 12:15am Saturday midnight mass was the last remnant of a 99-​yr old tradition at St Vincent de Paul’s known as the Printers’ Mass, which was originally for the newspaper employees of the great Baltimore newspapers (remember the NewsAmerican in addition to the still-​published Baltimore Sun?) The last 12:15 midnight mass was on Saturday, 6÷30÷2013. I still hope they bring that mass back…

Cool church where the priest is ultra liberal. Pro gay marriage and anti-​hierarchy. Congregation mostly older people and some gays and lesbians. Nice people that try to live social justice.
