Filipino Catholic Community

Blue Hero Banner

The Filipino Catholic Community arranges Masses, provides outreach programs, and so much more. Annually, the community gathers to celebrate Simbang Gabi, the Novena of Masses during Advent, throughout numerous parishes in the diocese to spiritually prepare for the birth of Christ. Recently, the Filipino Catholic Community added: Salubong (Easter Procession and Dawn Mass celebration), Flores de Mayo (a celebration of Our Lady in May), and a Tagalog Holy Hour.

To learn more about programs and events, please contact the Office of Multicultural Ministries at 703-224-1473 or via email.
