From July 18 through July 26, the Feast of St. Ann, St. Ann Catholic Church welcomed a replica of the Tilma of Our Lady of Guadalupe!

The next time you visit our church, you’ll see this gorgeous, restored statue of St. Ann teaching her daughter, our Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary! Our parish has to thank parishioner Susie Chorro and her team at Gold Leaf Studios. Thank you!

The Catholic Church welcomed my inquisitive mind and was able to provide me with logical and factually supported answers. It only makes sense considering other churches can be traced back to a man, and the Catholic Church can be traced back to Jesus himself. I am thankful to now be part of such a wonderful Church and look forward to continuing my education in Catholicism.

"...my teenage daughter became seriously ill and was hospitalized. I got myself ready and went to Children's National to visit her. I walked down the hallway and as I approached her room, I saw her lying in bed with what looked like a Catholic priest next to her, ministering. It was the same picture I'd had in mind earlier in the day, only in real life..."

"My heart is filled with joy!"

Please pray for these candidates by name!

With Gratitude to God, St. Ann's Church Reopens for Public Masses, Starting June 22, with a Maximum Capacity of 100 Persons per Mass

400 bags of food - 2,500 items - were donated during our Contactless Summer Food Drive! If you were unable to participate in the Food Drive, we welcome your monetary donations at jsmff.org/donate. Monetary donations are used to purchase fresh produce, milk and eggs, meat and poultry! You can also write a check to the parish with "Mulholland Foundation" on the memo line.

After consultation with the Parish Council, we do not see a fair and sensible way to both limit attendance and provide sacraments to all. Therefore, regrettably, this limitation to 10 persons means that we are still not ready to reopen for public Masses.

Rewatch the concert now! Just hit play to see the show =)

Regrettably, we are not ready to reopen for public Masses at this time. Click here to read more.

This is a statement issued by Washington Archbishop Wilton Gregory on May 31, 2020.

Area Re-Opening Status as of May 22, 2020: You may have seen President Trump’s press conference this afternoon with his message asking governors and local government leaders to allow houses of worship to open. While this might influence when local jurisdictions move into a phase one that haven’t done so at this time, we are still required to follow the mandates of the local jurisdictions. We provide the current status of our local jurisdictions here below.
