Dear Parish,

The St. Vincent de Paul Parish Council hopes this finds you and your family healthy and well. Father Andy and all priests in the archdiocese received notification from the Vicar General and Moderator of the Curia that the Archdiocese has come to the difficult but appropriate decision that activities will be suspended beginning Saturday, March 14th until further notice. This notification applies to Masses open to the public in all archdiocesan parishes, missions, and campus ministries, and it will sadly include application to our anticipated scheduled Lenten Recollection with Fr. Dave Fitz-Patrick 

Archbishop Gregory has issued a dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass during this time to all parishioners of the Archdiocese of Washington. We realize this is a significant disruption, and we hope these changes are for a limited period of time. If of interest during this time, you can go to adw.org/tvmass and the EWTN to stay connected with daily readings and Catholic TVmasses remotely. 

Let us remember to keep each other -- and all those impacted by COVID-19 -- close in prayer during these challenging moments. 

God bless.
