What an incredible day celebrating Faith + Freedom What an incredible day celebrating Faith + Freedom with thousands of Catholics from across the Diocese of Arlington!

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, performed, and helped make this event such a memorable celebration. We are grateful for the opportunity to gather as one diocesan family and give thanks to God for the gift of faith.
With profound gratitude to Almighty God, the Dioce With profound gratitude to Almighty God, the Diocese of Arlington was blessed with seven new priests of Jesus Christ this past Saturday.

These seven men were not called as a group, but individually and by name. Each has answered God’s invitation with a generous heart, bringing his own unique gifts, talents, and experiences to the service of Christ and His Church. Through their priestly ministry, they will become instruments of God’s mercy, love, and grace for the people of our diocese.

May our newly ordained priests go forth with courage, humility, and the peace that only Christ can give. And may Mary, Mother of Priests, watch over them and intercede for them as they begin their sacred ministry, now and always.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! ❤️‍🔥 Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, have mercy on us! ❤️‍🔥
