For several years, our parish has played a role in getting previously homeless veterans established in permanent housing. In coordination with Housing Counseling Services, the referring agency, and the veterans’ case managers who work with the vets to secure housing and a support system, we provide “Welcome Home Kits”

As a result of Governor Hogan's order, Archbishop Gregory has indicated Masses open to the public, in ALL archdiocesan parishes, missions, and campus ministries will not be celebrated starting this Saturday, March 14 until further notice. Archbishop Gregory has also issued a dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass during this time to all parishioners of the Archdiocese of Washington.

Confessions will be available Wednesday evenings, 6:30 - 8 p.m. by driving to the Mary statue between the Rectory and the Church. At the statue, park then get out of your car and walk to the seated area by the statue.  Fr. David or Fr. Cezary will be there for confessions. Please know that you can always schedule a confession by calling the Parish Office, 301-622-1122.

As Catholics, caring for our spiritual and sacramental lives is paramount. Please use these resources during this time.
