“Bishop Michael F. Burbidge canceled public Masses in the Diocese of Arlington March 16 until further notice. “The White House Coronavirus Task Force recommends limiting gatherings to 10 people or less,” he announced in a video message March 16. “This recommendation is consistent with CDC guidelines for events that serve high-risk populations. That would certainly include public Masses. Therefore, it is with great sadness that I announce that as of today, I am suspending the public celebration of all Masses in the Diocese of Arlington.” (Catholic Herald, March 16, 2020)  

The sacrament of reconciliation is administered every Saturday at 3:30 p.m. in St. Joseph Church. In many cases, one can also ask to do so by scheduling an appointment.
