BAPTISM
Newly registered parishioners will need to wait three months before a Baptism can take place. If you are a newly registered parishioner, you will receive a letter confirming your registration. During the three-month waiting period, we encourage you to register and attend the Baptism prep-class. Click for more information.
Parishioners already registered may proceed with scheduling a Baptism, provided they attend a Baptism prep-class, held in English the first Monday of each month at 7:30 p.m., and in Spanish the first Tuesday of each month at 7:30 p.m. Please call the parish office to register: (703) 354-8711.
Baptisms are celebrated in English on the first and third Sundays of each month, following the noon Mass.
If you have questions about the status of your registration, please contact the parish office: (703) 354-8711.

Living together before marriage is sinful and harmful to future marriage. Couples who are living together will be asked to separate during the marriage preparation period.
Both bride and groom will be asked to provide the following documents. If you anticipate any difficulty in obtaining these documents, please contact one of the priests.
- A Baptismal Certificate For Catholics, the Baptismal certificate must be issued from the church of Baptism no earlier than the date of the initial meeting with the priest. For non-Catholics, the Baptismal certificate need not be of recent issue.
- A Confirmation Certificate The Confirmation certificate need not be of recent issue, and is not required for non-Catholics.
- A Declaration of Nullity If either party has been previously married, a Declaration of Nullity will be required before marriage preparation can proceed.
-A Certificate of Attendance at the Diocesan marriage preparation classes.
-Affidavits of Freedom to Marry (The priest will provide and explain these at one of the meetings)
