Diocesan Week of Service

The 2026 Diocesan Week of Service (November 9–15) will be a powerful week in which parishioners from across the Arlington Diocese participate in one or more Corporal or Spiritual Works of Mercy and serve as witnesses to Christ’s love in our local communities. Msgr. Bob invites all parishioners to participate in this powerful week dedicated to living love in action in our community.
