Congratulations our friend, the Most Reverend Robert P. Boxie III who was formally ordained as an Auxiliary Bishop for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington D.C., on Tuesday, July 7, 2026.
At 45 years old, Bishop Boxie makes history as the youngest active Catholic bishop in the United States and the first born in the 1980s. He is also the first African-American Catholic prelate appointed to the U.S. Episcopate in nearly a decade. Background & Ministry: Prior to his elevation, Bishop Boxie served as the Catholic chaplain at Howard University's Sister Thea Bowman Catholic Student Center since 2020, he also acts as an assistant vocations director for the Archdiocese. Before entering the priesthood, he earned a chemical engineering degree from Vanderbilt University (2002) and a law degree from Harvard Law School (2007). He later received his Licentiate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. FAITH FORMATION REGISTRATION IS NOW OPEN!

LAYSPIRITAN ASSOCIATES INFORMATION MEETING Since the Spiritan’s founding in 1703 in Paris, we have had lay people who closely associated with us in our work and our lived mission. We believe that the Holy Spirit inspires and invites us to a community of one heart and one soul, and to share our lives, our mission and our spirituality with both professed and lay Spiritans. And so we invite lay people to journey with the Spiritan Congregation as Lay Spiritan Associates. We will have an information session, about this Association led by Lay Spiritan Associates, Anne Marie and John Hansen (lay associates for over 40 years), on Saturday July 25th, 6:30pm, Fr. Ray Hall. SUNDAY MORNING FELLOWSHIP: Summer Volunteers It's summer and time for vacations, and so we are experiencing vacations among the volunteers for the Sunday Morning Fellowship, coffee ministry. We are looking for a few more volunteers and hope you can help! Volunteers help set-up, serve, and clean-up for the continental breakfast for parishioners on Sunday mornings, for at least one Mass. You can volunteer to come before and/or after 8:00, 9:30 and 11:15 Masses. If you can assist, please email Mary Jo Johnson at [email protected]. Thank you ENVIRONMENTAL BOOK DISCUSSION: The God of Wild Places The Integrity of Creation ministry invites you to join us in reading and discussing all parishioners to join us in the Parish Library on Wednesday, August 12 at 7:00PM for a discussion of the book "The God of Wild Places: Rediscovering the divine in the untamed outdoors" by Tony Jones. In this short but compelling narrative, Jones leads readers on a meditative journey through his personal loss of faith and subsequent rediscovery after time spent in the wilderness. Email Dan Herrera ([email protected]) for more information. ECO TIP – REFABRICATION Recycling clothing is now a thing – no, it’s not thrifting, it’s called refabrication of clothing, drapes, household textiles and shoes. Fairfax County is partnered with Helpsy Collection Bins where you may drop off securely sealed clean, dry, torn, damaged, odorless fabrics in plastic bags in the designated blue bins at the I-66 Transfer station (4618 West Ox Road, Fairfax) or the I-95 Landfill Complex (9850 Furnace Road, Lorton). |
