St. Ignatius 

of Loyola

Rejoice always, and pray without ceasing... (1 Thess 5:16)
The Church continually lifts her voice of thanksgiving, praise and petition to God - not just on Sundays, but throughout the week. Come join your voice to the Church's at daily Mass - each Mon/Tue/Thu/Fri at St. Catherine's Church at 6:30pm.

Monday, August 15th
 
Usually, the Solemnity of the Assumption is a Holy Day of Obligation.  However, when it falls on a Saturday or Monday (as it does this year), the obligation to attend Mass is lifted in the Archdiocese of Washington.  Consequently, this coming Monday we will only have the usual daily Mass at St. Catherine's at 6:30 p.m., with Eucharistic Adoration beforehand at 5:30 p.m.

Back by popular demand!
With an Evening Schedule!

Dr. Gail Yearick will present "A Pilgrimage through the Mysteries of the Rosary" at Sacred Heart Church, La Plata, beginning in October.   This Bible Study will meet weekly (Monday evenings in the Friendship Room) from 7 – 8:30 p.m.  The study will include all the mysteries of the rosary.   Biblical and historical references will be presented.  She will present live from the Friendship Room but a Zoom option will also be offered.   This study will change the way you meditate on the mysteries and deeply enhance the way you pray the blessed rosary.
 
PLEASE join us for a "Meet and Greet" with Gail on TUESDAY, AUG. 23RD at 7:00 p.m. in the Friendship Room.  Gail will explain her program and answer questions.  All are welcome.
