Fr. Sunny’s Syro Malabar Rite Mass

Fr. Sunny’s Syro Malabar Rite Mass

 

 

 

Last Sunday, the 7:01pm Mass was celebrated in the Syro-Malabar Rite by Fr. Sunny!  It was well attended and a beautiful experience as those Catholics of the Roman Rite were able to experience the Sacred Liturgy of our brothers and sisters of the Easter Rite of the Syro-Malabar Church.  A choir from the Indian community in Washington DC came to assist Fr. Sunny, as well as many member of the Indian Catholic Community in the Virginia and DC area.  Thanks to all our Syro-Malabar brothers and sisters who shared their faith with us!

Thursday is NOT a Day of Obligation

Thursday is NOT a Day of Obligation

In most dioceses of the United States, the bishops have exercised their authority to transfer the Feast of the Ascension from Thursday to the following Sunday.  This applies to the Diocese of Arlington.  As a result, this Thursday is not a day of obligation and we will not celebrate any additional Masses.  There was a typo in the bulletin this week stating that Thursday was a Day of Obligation.  THIS WAS A TYPO AND THURSDAY IS NOT A DAY OF OBLIGATION.  We apologize for the confusion.
