Dear Friends, Thank you! There’s no other way to say it, thank you! You’re receiving this message because over the course of the last two months you’ve contributed to the mission of St. Mary Mother of God Parish by your prayers and by your kind donation. This giving is what’s keeping us going on several fronts.
We are exciting to announce Facebook livestreaming of English Sunday masses starting this Sunday May 3rd 10:30am! Join us in prayer on our parish FB page.
This Friday May 1st at 7pm tune in on our Facebook page for a livestream of Sung Evening Prayer for the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker. Prelude and postlude music with quartet and organ. Have a candle lit for your prayer intentions by making a donation on FaithDirect.
During these Coronavirus precautions, we are recording our church's celebrations in the Latin Extraordinary Form because we’re the only parish in DC who do this as a matter of Archdiocesan ministry. Our Ordinary Form English & Chinese parishioners can view the Triduum celebrations from the Archdiocese & Ascension in Houston, TX. They will be shared on our FB page & website. Extraordinary Form parishioners are encouraged to review the archbishop’s homily after tuning in with us for the rites themselves.
Good Friday we will open the church from 5pm-6pm for silent prayer so that the faithful can come and venerate the Cross from a distance. We require those present maintain 6’ distance apart. To prevent clusters of people forming at the main doors, entrance will be through the side doors at the front of the church (entrance through the south door, exit through the north). There is plenty of street parking so the lot will NOT be open, again to prevent the possibility of clusters of people forming on church grounds.
Join us 6pm Wednesday on our Facebook page for a livestream with Fr. De Rosa & Fr. Bradley. They'll share our parish plans for celebrating the Triduum this Holy Week under the current circumstances due to the Coronavirus with a chance for Q&A.
