welcome to saint charles parish

Serving the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor and neighborhoods in the heart of Arlington,

At St. Charles Parish we proclaim, celebrate and live the more abundant life of God through comprehensive formation in the faith, through a rich sacramental and prayer life, and through fellowship in love.  We invite everyone to encounter the faithful of the Church, your sisters and brothers, and through them to a personal encounter with Jesus Christ, to experience his peace and joy.
