As you know, I will leave St. Matthias next week and report to St. Andrew the Apostle Church in Silver Spring, Maryland. I know you will welcome Fr. Avelino Gonzalez who will be coming to you from his appointment in Ecumenical Relations in the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity in the Vatican. He was ordained in 2006 and served as pastor at two DC parishes prior to his posting. Fr. Gonzalez was born in Cuba but grew up here in Maryland. Prior to entering the priesthood, he served as an engineer at the Naval Surface Weapons Center. I know you will extend every courtesy to Fr. Gonzalez and smooth his return to pastoral life. I am grateful for the many kindnesses you have offered me, as well as your support and service to your parish and school. Please keep me in your prayers as I leave you.
Due to Thursday night's inclement weather forecast, the parish office is closed Friday, January 7, 2022. The office will reopen Monday, January 10th, at 8:00 AM.
