Dear Parishioners,
The sacrament of Confession will still be available as scheduled and by appointment. Our schedule Confession times are as follows: Wednesday (6:30 PM to 8:00 PM During Lent), Thursday (11:30 AM to 12:00 PM), Saturday (3:30 PM to 4:30 PM). Stations of the Cross will be celebrated tonight, Friday, March 13, but will not be held again until the Archdiocesan restriction on public Masses is lifted.
The Church will remain open for prayer before the Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist. While the lay faithful are unable to receive Jesus in Holy Communion, please make use of every opportunity available to continue to grow in holiness during this season of Lent. The Archdiocese of Washington produces a Sunday TV Mass that can be viewed online on demand at
