We think of the devastating consequences of depression, growing out of profound loss, trauma, or other psychological injuries experienced within families or individual lives. It seems like a private event. Sometimes we can be depressed by external events that are not related personally to ourselves or close family but to the broader society. We can experience community/ social trauma in a way never experienced before. The list can include massive firings of dedicated federal employees, fear because of attempts to exclude specific groups from our community or neighborhood, infringements of the free speech of ourselves or others in the community or infringements of our right to assembly. If you are feeling overwhelmed and powerless by external events in the wider society, we have trained Stephen Ministers who can listen to you compassionately and confidentially. Need help? Contact Louise Drucker: [email protected] or (703) 635-0569. NEW!

NEWS FROM OUR TWIN PARISH, St. Joseph’s in Medor, Haiti Haitians celebrate their Independence Day on January 1. We join our brothers and sisters in Medor in giving thanks to God for the courage, faith, and vision that led to Haiti’s hard-won freedom more than two centuries ago, enabling the formation of the first independent Black republic in the modern world. In Medor, this spirit of freedom continues to flourish in the classrooms of five primary schools and one secondary school, where students, teachers, staff, and parents honor the legacy of Haiti’s founders by seeking knowledge and working toward a more just and hopeful future. Through the shared support of Medor’s education programs, our two parishes walk together in solidarity, nurturing leadership, opportunity, and faith, and trusting that God will bless these efforts as seeds of hope for Haiti’s tomorrow. Please pray for peace and security in Haiti. YOUTH MINISTRY: Catholic Heart Work Camp is scheduled for July 19 - 24, 2026, for rising 8th - 12th graders.
