As we enter the Lenten season, we are reminded of God’s invitation to journey with Jesus through this time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. As St. Paul implores  us:

Behold, now is a very acceptable time;
behold, now is the day of salvation.
 [2 Corinthians 6:2b]

Lent is an ideal time to rekindle your spiritual life. We invite you to participate in the events below and draw closer to God throughout this Lenten season.

The 2025 BLA Commitment Sunday is March 3rd. Once a year we are asked to make a pledge to support the work of our diocesan programs and ministries which provide services that no parish could provide on its own.

The Bishop’s Lenten Appeal is the primary means of support for more than 40 ministries, programs, services and charitable works of our diocese. After reflecting upon God’s blessings to you, please consider a BLA pledge. Each donation is vital to the success of the BLA.

Please help our parish reach our BLA goal. Our parish goal is 100% participation. You may go online at:
www.arlingtondiocese.org/bla.

Our parish goal is 100% participation. By participating in the BLA, we remember the gift that Christ himself gave us through his Body and Blood, and are asked to respond to his call to serve our brothers and sisters.

All Saints offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation on the following dates:

• Wednesday, March 12 – 6:30 – 8:00 PM
• Saturday, March 15 – 3:00 – 4:00 PM

First Friday
For the First Friday of each month, we have the following schedule:

Confession – after 7:00 AM Mass
Confession –  No evening Confession on 4/4/25
Mass in Spanish – 8:00 PM 

Please note that for the morning confessions, once we have posted a sign that the confession line is closed, please do not enter the line. This will allow us to finish those who have already been waiting in line and will allow the priests to finish before the 8:30 AM Mass. One should not miss a part of the Mass (for example, the Liturgy of the Word or the Liturgy of the Eucharist) due to being in Confession. Also, please do not put “placeholders” for a place in line, such as a hymnal on the floor, during Mass. We ask those in line to be considerate of others. Thank you

Tenga en cuenta que para las confesiones de la mañana, una vez que hayamos colocado un letrero de que la línea de confesión está cerrada, no ingrese a la línea. Esto nos ermitirá terminar con aquellos que ya han estado esperando en la fila y permitirá que los sacerdotes terminen antes de la Misa de las 8:30 AM. No se debe perder una parte de la isa (por ejemplo, la Liturgia de la Palabra o la Liturgia de la Eucaristía) por estar en Confesión. Además, no coloque “marcadores de posición” para un lugar en la fila, como un himnario en el piso, durante la misa. Les pedimos a los que están en la fila que sean considerados con los demás. Gracias.

The scheduling of Mass intentions at All Saints Parish is done through the parish office. Please note the following:

• Scheduled Masses — — If you are a parishioner and would like to have a Mass offered for someone, please come by the parish office on Wednesday – Thursday, November 20-21, from 10:00 – 11:45 AM and 1:00–2:30 PM. To expedite matters, you may come by the parish office and pick up envelopes early and then fill them out at home; in this way when you come in, you’ll be ready to go.

  We receive many requests for the limited number of Masses offered each year. In view of this fact and the size of our parish, to ensure some fairness in the procedure, we are asking that each family limit their Mass Intentions to no more than fifteen (15) scheduled Masses per year. The customary Mass stipend in the Province of Baltimore, to which the Arlington Diocese belongs, is $10.00

• Unscheduled Masses — If you wish to have other Masses offered for an individual or need, an unscheduled Mass will be offered within a short period of time by a priest of the parish or sent to a priest in a seminary, campus ministry, retreat house, or the missions.
• Purgatorial Society — Deceased family members and friends of our parish may be enrolled as a member of the Purgatorial Society of All Saints Catholic Church, and as such will be remembered in a special Mass each month for one year. Suggested Mass donation is $20.00.
• All Saints and St. Gabriel Mission — Mass intentions for Masses at All Saints Church will be taken at the All Saints parish office. Mass intentions for Masses at St. Gabriel Mission will be taken at the St. Gabriel Pastoral Center, Manassas Park.
