Mass Celebration Suspended

We sent you a video from Bishop Burbidge offering his wisdom, counsel and some additional information to all of us in the Arlington Diocese.

You will have heard from the Bishop that the Diocese is suspending all Sunday, Holy Day and daily Masses until further notice.

This offers us a new way to grow in our spirituality and closeness to our Lord by meditating on His Passion, praying the rosary, making a spiritual communion and reading scripture to mention a few.

Please know the church will be open from 7:30 AM-to sundown. The Most Blessed Sacrament will remain in the church.

Although these are unprecedented times and there is a lot of uncertainty, our commitment to our faith, our parishioners and those we serve, remains steadfast. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation and we pray daily for your health and wellbeing.  Jesus is with us ALWAYS.
Continue to monitor the website.

SUNDAY TV MASS FOR THE HOMEBOUND:  The Diocese of Arlington, in partnership with the Archdiocese of Washington, produces a weekly Sunday TV Mass filmed in the Crypt Church of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception. Viewers can watch the TV Mass every Sunday from 10:30–11 a.m. on the DCW50 network. It is a wonderful ministry for those members of our Catholic family who are unable to be physically present with a local worshiping community for the Sunday Eucharistic Liturgy.
