Public MassIn an effort to keep our parishioners safe, St. Teresa of Avila will adhere to the rules and guidelines from both the District of Columbia and the Archdiocese of Washington regarding attendance at public Mass. As we move forward in gathering to celebrate the Eucharist in person again, we look forward to doing so safely and joyfully. Please click here to review the guidelines below for in-person Mass as we begin to phase in one Mass per week at our Parish. Space is limited and reservations are mandatory. You must make a new reservation each week to attend in-person Mass. No exceptions. Before registering for Mass you must complete the STA COVID-19 protocol questionnaire. Click here to complete the COVID-19 Questionnaire and Liability Waiver. Reminder: Parishioners who are particularly vulnerable (e.g., over the age of 60, those who have been medically diagnosed with serious underlying health conditions: high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and those whose immune system is compromised, heart or lung conditions, or who are immune-compromised), and those who are ill or suspect they may be ill, should remain at home. Livestreaming of our Sunday Mass on our YouTube and Facebook Live channels will continue each Sunday, with Mass at 9:30am.

OUR FAMILY PRAYER FOR JUSTICE AND HUMAN DIGNITY
Loving and faithful God, we come to you, Father, to ask that through your Son, Jesus and in communion with the Holy Spirit, you help us in the battle against America’s “original sin” of racism that divides us from being the Body of Christ that we are called to be as your children.
We implore you to give us your wisdom, so that we may build a community founded on the Gospel message of the life and dignity of all people from conception to natural death, and to live in communion like the divine communion of the Holy Trinity.
Bless parents that they may form their children in faith, to love one another regardless of skin color, ethnicity and national origin, just as Jesus loves us.
Bless and protect all of us as we live out our faith in being “instruments of your peace” as St. Francis said. Fill us with a thirst for justice and righteousness.
Hear our prayer and give us the courage, compassion, and perseverance to root out any form of injustice within our communities and to bring the healing love of Christ to all in need.
Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of our Church, hasten to help us and intercede on our behalf, so that our Archdiocese can continue to witness to the Gospel message of life and dignity of all people.
Amen.
Written by Wilton Cardinal Gregory The Most Reverend Mario E. Dorsonville The Most Reverend Roy E. Campbell, Jr. The Most Reverend Michael W. Fisher

Prayer to Overcome IndifferenceAll too often, Lord, we turn away from the world's many problems,
which seem too big, too complex, or too far away.
Forgive us our indifference.
It is easier, Lord, to see only what is around us:
our lives, our homes, our challenges.
Forgive us our isolation.
Help us to see with your eyes:
eyes which notice one another
and help us understand.
Help us to dream your dream:
of communities that reach out and dialogue
and where diverse people creatively cooperate.
Help us to be people of solidarity and action,
so moved by prayer, encounter, and understanding
that peace can become a reality.
Amen
