The Easter Schedule of services is included with the bulletin.
On March 3rd, Governor Hogan lifted most restrictions in the state - except for mask wearing. As in all things the removal of a legal restraint does not really mean we can do whatever we want. We still need to make sound decisions. Many in the parish have, due to our ages, received Covid vaccinations. Many due to their relative youth have not. There is also still some real threat of the spread of the virus. We are safer, but not everyone is safe yet. There are certainly people who have been fully vaccinated over 2 weeks ago who are at maximum protection and may wish to return to in person and you would be most welcome.
Our Regular Weekend Mass Schedule follows:
Saturday: Confessions from 4 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. and Mass at 5 p.m.
Sunday: Masses at 7:30, 9:00, 11:15 a.m., and 6 pm.
Weekdays: Mass at 8:00 a.m.
Stations of the Cross 7pm on Fridays of Lent

Covid Precautions Continue March 2021The Archdiocese has told us not to change procedures yet. For us, the main limitation has not been a percentage occupancy; but rather the need for distancing so we avoid spreading to those who have not been vaccinated. We will continue to sit people in alternate rows, with co-living family members who do not need to distance. We at times have exceeded 50 people at individual masses, without use of the balcony or turning anyone away. The 7:30 am and 11:15 masses can absorb the most additional people, but all the masses can accomodate some more, using the balconies.
Reservations are advised due to space limitations of 60 people per Mass.
(No reservations are needed for weekday mass)
Masks are still neccesary for the protection of others.
We continue to livestream Mass at 9:00 a.m. on Sundays. Visit our Facebook page or connect to it below.
We have returned to a full schedule of public Masses.ARCHDIOCESE RESOURCES: The Archdiocese of Washington webpage provides times and links to its YouTube channel which will be livestreaming Masses.
CHURCH ACCESS Remember the Church is open for private prayer. Please use social distancing and no more than 10 people in the church at a time. Half of the pews are taped off to create distancing. The church is disinfected after all weekend and weekday Masses. Please remember to use hand sanitizer upon entering the church.
The Parish Hall is open for Faith Formation, but only on Sundays.REMEMBER IN YOUR PRAYERS
Remember in your prayers those affected by the COVID19 crisis; particularly first responders, health care workers and our most vulnerable population; those living in nursing homes and assisted living facilities and those that care for them. Please pray for those who are out of work.
