Whenever we visit DC, we hear mass here. We have been visiting this church since the 80s. If you are in the Foggy Bottom area, it is a convenient location. This church is where JFK used to hear mass.

Looked for a church near our hotel in Foggy Bottom near Washington Circle. Found this gem. Priest was not overly verbose yet his homily was thought provoking. Interior of Church was pretty...like a series of waves.

I could hear the beautiful music as I was walking by this church. There was a mass going on so I decided to stay. Though I could not see the singers (I sat in the area under/below the Choir Area), I thoroughly enjoyed listening to their beautiful voices. When the mass ended at 12:00 p.m., I took pictures of the beautiful stained windows and statues of saints around the church. Due to time constraints, I did not have the chance to attend the next scheduled mass (12:30 p.m.) when folks from the Philippines would be singing. Everyone seemed to be welcoming at this church. Next time I'm in the area, I would stay longer and meet some local folks and clergy.…
