St. Patrick's Church is the oldest parish in the Federal City of
Washington, D.C. Founded in 1794 to minister to the needs of the
stonemasons building the White House and the U.S. Capitol, the
parish continues to serve the needs of downtown Washington
through daily Mass & confession, adult education, and cultural
activities.
Announcements
Inclement Weather Reminder
From the Archdiocese of Washington
We have received a few inquiries from parishioners about whether Masses will be cancelled. While it is not our practice to cancel Masses, dangerous travel/road conditions are legitimate excuses that might prevent an individual from fulfilling the Sunday obligation to attend Mass. Those who cannot safely travel to attend Mass in person are encouraged to watch the Sunday TV Mass, which airs at 10:30am on CW50.
