St. John the Beloved Bereavement Fund
Click here to make a one-time gift to help us assist bereaving families in need. Use the "Note" field to identify a specific need. Donations are tax-deductible and your assistance is much appreciated.

Sacraments in Unusual Places

Holy Communion can be received in the vestibule after any and every Mass. Outdoor speakers permit you to listen to Mass without coming inside. Our priests can bring you Holy Communion at home as well.

If you desire Confession somewhere other than the regular confessionals, please feel free to call the rectory emergency line 703-307-4750 to request a confessor to meet you in church cry room or in the parking lot.

Neighbors in Need

Many parishioners have volunteered to help deliver groceries or otherwise render assistance to neighbors who are not able to leave their homes. Please call the parish office either to alert St. John the Beloved about someone who needs help or to volunteer.
