Adorers Needed
Please consider giving up an hour to spend time with
The Lord. We have an immediate and critical need for
an adorer from 5:00 – 6:00 PM every Wednesday and
from 4:00 – 5:00 AM on First Friday. If you are unable
to commit to every scheduled day, perhaps the time can
be shared with a family member or friend. To volunteer,
call Diane Cieslak at 703-978-3919. Adorers at any
time are always welcome.
The Blessed Sacrament
THIS IS MY BODY – THIS IS MY BLOOD
Eucharistic Adoration and Holy Hour
A Holy Hour is simply an hour set-aside totally for the
Lord; an hour consecrated to God. It is a time to
recollect our mind, heart and spirit in order to focus them
on God and more specifically our Eucharistic Lord.
The Church and the world have a great need of
Eucharistic worship.
Jesus waits for us in this
sacrament of love. Let us be generous with our time in
going to meet Him in adoration and in contemplation that
is full of faith, and ready to make reparation for the great
faults and crimes of the world. May our adoration never
cease.
24 hour Eucharistic Adoration begins after the 9:00
a.m. Mass on Wednesday and ends with reposition of
the Blessed Sacrament at 8:55 a.m. on Thursday.
24 hour Eucharistic Adoration also begins after the
9:00 a.m. Mass on every First Friday of the month and
ends with reposition of the Blessed Sacrament at 8:55
a.m. on Saturday.
Call Diane Cieslak at 703-678-3919 to volunteer.
Holy Hour is every Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m.
Communion and Blessings
A very common liturgical abuse of our times happens
during the reception of Holy Communion when persons
who cannot receive Communion nevertheless line up
with their arms crossed over their chest, as a ―message‖
to the priest that they want a blessing instead of
Communion. This is liturgically incorrect on a number of
levels. First and foremost, the time for Communion is
the time for Communion. The Communion line is not,
and should not be, the blessing line. Secondly, the
liturgical actions of the priest during Mass are highly
regulated, and quite specific of what to do and when to
do it. The actions of a good liturgist may seem
spontaneous, but they are not and should not be.
Unfortunately, owing to the confused time in which we
live, some people are instructed to present themselves,
arms crossed, before the priest at Communion time for a
blessing. To make things even more confused, some
people present themselves with crossed arms as a sign
that they wish to receive on the tongue! Children who
have not yet made their first Communion may come up
with their parents who are receiving, but should not
present themselves individually for a blessing. Others,
who cannot receive, for whatever reason, should remain
seated. The proper time for the blessing follows the
prayer after Communion, which blessing all receive
together.
Opus Dei Evening of
Recollection for Women

Mission Statement

parents in the role as primary educators of their children
by offering specially prepared environments founded
upon the principles and discoveries made by Dr. Maria
Montessori with regard to the unique spiritual and
developmental needs of the child from birth to adulthood.
A Letter From the Head of School
Dear Parishioners,
On Tuesday evening, January 25, a leak in the radiator
pipe in our Elementary library room was discovered. It
resulted in the need for the re-flooring of two
classrooms. I will be forever grateful to Rick Webb, our
maintenance crew and staff for all the clean-up and
follow-through that was necessary to complete the
unexpected project. It was a grace to have Bishop Justs
Hall available; we were able to have the elementary
students continue their classes without more time off. I
am very grateful to Father Drummond and the parish for
allowing us to use the space that I know is treasured for
parish use. It reaffirms the beauty and the blessings of
being a parish school. After speaking to the staff, I will
let you know the new date for the School Open House.
I look forward to sharing the joy that comes when one
sees the children so attentively at work in the prepared
environments that provide the keys to learning for each
individual child.
God bless you!
Sincerely, Sister Janet
