Regarding High School CCD Classes: Classes for teens in our parish will begin in 2021. There is no fee for high school classes, but registration is required.

Please note: CCD does NOT necessarily follow the Fairfax County Public School schedule in regard to Monday closings and delays.

We do follow the FCPS Schedule for weather-related cancellations and early dismissals.  (But we do NOT follow their corrupt and abusive Family Life Education Program!)

Sacramental Schedule

The Church typically opens by 7:30 a.m. and closes around 7 p.m.  But times may vary because of variations in the Pastor's schedule and the occasional inability to obtain help in locking the church at night.

The Confession Schedule continues

Sacrament of Penance:
Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday: 7:45 am – 8:15 am (No Confessions on Holy Days and civil holidays)
Saturday afternoon: 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm
Expanded schedule for Advent and Lent
 
All Day Eucharistic Adoration

Weekdays: 8:30 am, (Wednesdays: 12:15 pm)

Holydays (except Christmas):

Although the regular weekday Mass schedule is solidly in place, since this is a one-priest parish, there may be times when Mass cancellations are necessary.  Please register here if you attend weekday Masses and want to receive cancellation notifications and other updates as opportune.  We will not abuse your contact information.  Click here

 (Note: After clicking the weekday Mass registration link above, please scroll to the bottom right of the page and replace the "0" with a "1" to proceed.)
