2025 Annual Report
As you know, we have a dynamic parish which proclaims, celebrates, and lives the Good News of Jesus here in the heart of Arlington–thanks be to God! And thanks to you: much of what we do is a result of your involvement.
This weekend I am happy to share with you our Annual Report which summarizes all the wonderful things we do here: please take time to read it. The report also contains an invitation–and a challenge–to all our parishioners to support our mission by sharing your time and resources.
I thank you for your faithfulness, which continually inspires me. Please be assured of Fr. David’s and my daily prayers for you.
May God bless you abundantly!
Fr. Don Planty
Pastor
