Holy Rosary and Litany:

Oct 4, 2020 – To honor our Lady of the Holy Rosary, on October 4^th St Nicholas' Mary’s Chapel Society and the Knights of Columbus, are inviting us to join them in praying the Rosary at 1:00 PM in the Church. We are looking for at least sixty-two (62) people to honor our beloved Blessed Mother. This will take the place of our usual Marian Procession and Living Rosary.

Flu Shots: If you have seen the news recently, you have heard recommendations from the CDC that everyone get a flu shot this season to help prevent what the NY Times has referred to as a 'twindemic' - a convergence of the flu season with an upsurge of COVID-19, that could overburden our hospitals. Since a vaccine for COVID-19 isn't yet available, vaccinating yourself against the flu is a first step in protecting yourself and your loved ones.  

The St. Nicholas Health Ministry is partnering with Walgreens and on Sunday, October 11, 2020 after the 11:30 AM Mass, Walgreens will be on site at St. Nicholas to administer flu shots to parishioners who register in advance.

To Register: Please contact Gloria Hynes at the email address below with your name, age, and insurance provider. Those 65 and older will receive a more potent vaccine. Walk-ins cannot be accepted. Fees: No cost for most health insurances, and $25.00 for those without insurance, payable in cash or check only. Medicare will cover the cost for those 65 and older.
Please bring your insurance card the day of vaccination.
Kaiser patients are not eligible.
For more information or to register, please email Gloria Hynes, RN at

Religious Education Classes for Children: Classes will begin on October 17, at 9:30 AM for students in grades 1-6 and on Monday, October 19, at 7:00 PM for our middle and high school students. If your child was not enrolled in the program last year, please email Hope Benson at hab1006@msn.com for a registration form. Class sizes are extremely limited and will be filled first come, first serve. If your child was enrolled last year and you are not comfortable sending him or her back to in person learning, please contact Hope so we can discuss options.

Reopening Guidelines: As parishes strive to return to a more normal way of operating, the Archdiocese of Washington has implemented these safety guidelines to safely return to parish ministry. The Archdiocese of Washington, and St. Nicholas are committed to the health and safety of our clergy, staff, parishioners, and volunteers, and slow the spread of COVID-19. 

Before Attending Mass, the first point of screening begins at home. If you, or someone in your home is displaying any of these symptoms - stay home.

These best practices and procedures for attending Mass are in place for everyone's health and safety. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.

If you feel uncomfortable attending Mass at this time, or have underlying health issues that are a concern, please remember that the dispensation from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and holy days of obligation is still in effect until further notice. We will continue to send out the Sunday Flocknotes with the links to the livestream Sunday Mass from the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
