Our church was built over a hundred years ago and the Byzantine-style church is made of decorative reinforced concrete begun by sculptor John Joseph Earley, who also worked on Malcolm X Park, the Franciscan Monastery in Brookland, and the Peace Cross (World War I Memorial or "Bladensburg Cross" on Annapolis Road.)
The parish has been a spiritual home for immigrants for many decades. Every Sunday there are Masses in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole, Vietnamese, and Brazilian Portuguese. The parish provides various catechetical programs involving more than 600 children and 250 adults. Also, from Monday to Saturday the parish offers a soup kitchen and on Friday mornings a food pantry for families. English as a Second Language (ESL) classes on Tuesday and Thursday evenings have been a hallmark of the parish for many years.
With a building this old, various maintenance issues emerge which result in efforts to revitalize and improve the building and the entire physical plant of the parish. Your donation to support the upkeep of our building is greatly appreciated. God Bless!
La parroquia ha sido un hogar espiritual para inmigrantes durante muchas décadas. Todos los domingos hay misas en inglés, español, criollo haitiano, vietnamita y portugués brasileño. La parroquia ofrece varios programas de catequesis en los que participan más de 600 niños y 250 adultos. Asimismo, de lunes a sábado la parroquia ofrece un comedor social y los viernes por la mañana una despensa de alimentos para las familias. Las clases de inglés como segundo idioma (ESL) los martes y jueves por la noche han sido un sello distintivo de la parroquia durante muchos años.
Con un edificio tan antiguo, surgen varios problemas de mantenimiento que resultan en esfuerzos para revitalizar y mejorar el edificio y toda la planta física de la parroquia. Se agradece enormemente su donación para apoyar el mantenimiento de nuestro edificio. ¡Dios los bendiga!
