Night Prayer Hymns
We encourage you to join us on your computer or mobile device for morning, evening, and night prayer. Occasionally we have been singing Te lucis ante terminum as our night prayer hymn, and Ave Regina Caelorum as our Marian antiphon. Here are some helpful items if you would like to sing along:

Witness
Witness provides music for the Sunday 5:00 pm Teen Mass. Witness primarily plays modern contemporary style music to encourage the “full, active, conscious participation” of the youth. Rehearsals are held at 4pm on Sundays prior to Mass. Adults and youth, 8th grade and up, who sing or play an instrument, are welcome to join. Please contact Kevin Bills, kevin@kbills.com.
Chorus Angelorum
One of the spiritual works of mercy is to pray for the living and the dead. Would you like to sing in a choir for funerals? Chorus Angelorum assists in singing the hymns and acclamations at funerals. The choir works in conjunction with the cantor and organist to support the family of the deceased with song and prayers. Funerals are typically at 10 am in the morning with only a few days’ notice. Please contact Jean Fenwick, jeanfenwick4@gmail.com or 703-966-7934, if you are interested in joining.
