The All Saints Parish Choir presents an evening of Scripture lessons and beloved Advent carols, hymns, and motets to prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Advent Lessons & Carols Saturday, December 6, 2025 7:30 PM All Saints Catholic Church
Featuring music by:
Jacques Arcadelt
Michael Praetorius
Paul Manz
Claude Gouidmel
Timothy Lewicki
And more!
A beloved tradition at All Saints, Advent Lessons & Carols is the perfect way to start the Advent season. The event is free and open to the public. A free-will offering will be taken to off-set the cost of this and other events. A reception will follow the performance.
The service, based on the Lessons and Carols made famous at King’s College, Cambridge, will last about an hour. All are welcome!
Help the less fortunate in our community. Un‑Trim‑A‑Tree is a program that provides gifts for children of families facing financial difficulties. Starting November 16, we have trees in the narthex of the church with “hang tags,” indicating gifts that are needed.
White tags are coordinated by the Knights of Columbus.
Yellow tags are coordinated by the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
Please choose a tag and return an unwrapped gift with the tag attached. The tag is important to insure the gift gets to the proper child. SECURELY attach the tag to the gift. Gifts should be placed under the tree. If the tag is lost, please attach as much information as possible (for instance, tag color, child, name, age, family number, etc.).
White tag gifts are due no later than Wednesday, December 17, 6:00 PM. White Tag questions? Contact Eric and Maria Wolpert at mwolpert@eawtech.com.
Yellow Tag gifts are due no later than Wednesday, December 17. Yellow Tag questions? Contact Bob Fini from St. Vincent de Paul at Bob Fini (bobatbullrun@gmail.com).
GIFT CARDS and smaller items must be placed in the secure box at the center entrance of the church or at the parish office.
The custom of requesting a priest to offer the Mass for a specific intention, even when one cannot be physically present at the Mass, is a long-standing tradition in the Church. This is because the Church considers the Mass as the greatest possible prayer of intercession as it is the perfect offering of Christ to the Father by making present the Paschal Mystery of his Death and Resurrection.
Masses may be offered for either the deceased or the living. The scheduling of Mass intentions at All Saints Parish is done through the parish office. Mass intentions for Masses at St. Gabriel Mission will be taken at the St. Gabriel Pastoral Center, Manassas Park.
Please note the following:
Scheduled Masses — If you are a parishioner and would like to have a Mass offered for someone, please come by the parish office on Wednesday, December 3 from 1:00–2:30 PM, and Thursday, December 4 from 10:00–11:45 AM and 1:00–2:30 PM. To expedite matters, you may come by the parish office and pick up envelopes early and then fill them out at home; in this way when you come in, you’ll be ready to go! There are many requests for the limited number of Masses offered each year. In view of this fact and the size of our parish, to ensure some fairness in the procedure, we are asking that each family limit their Mass Intentions to no more than twenty (20) scheduled Masses per year.The customary Mass stipend in the Province of Baltimore, to which the Arlington Diocese belongs, is $10.00.
Unscheduled Masses — If you wish to have other Masses offered for an individual or need, an unscheduled Mass will be offered within a short period of time by a priest of the parish or sent to a priest in a seminary, campus ministry, retreat house, or the missions.
Purgatorial Society — Deceased family members and friends of our parish may be enrolled as a member of the Purgatorial Society of All Saints Catholic Church, and as such will be remembered in a special Mass each month for one year. Suggested Mass donation is $20.00.

All Saints offers the Sacrament of Reconciliation on the following dates:
Wednesday, November 26 – 6:30-8:00 PM
Saturday, November 29 – 3:00-4:00 PM
First Friday For the First Friday of each month, we have the following schedule:
Confession – after 7:00 AM Mass Confession – 7:00 – 7:45 PM Mass in Spanish – 8:00 PM
Please note that for the morning confessions, once we have posted a sign that the confession line is closed, please do not enter the line. This will allow us to finish those who have already been waiting in line and will allow the priests to finish before the 8:30 AM Mass. One should not miss a part of the Mass (for example, the Liturgy of the Word or the Liturgy of the Eucharist) due to being in Confession. Also, please do not put “placeholders” for a place in line, such as a hymnal on the floor, during Mass. We ask those in line to be considerate of others. Thank you

Tenga en cuenta que para las confesiones de la mañana, una vez que hayamos colocado un letrero de que la línea de confesión está cerrada, no ingrese a la línea. Esto nos ermitirá terminar con aquellos que ya han estado esperando en la fila y permitirá que los sacerdotes terminen antes de la Misa de las 8:30 AM. No se debe perder una parte de la isa (por ejemplo, la Liturgia de la Palabra o la Liturgia de la Eucaristía) por estar en Confesión. Además, no coloque “marcadores de posición” para un lugar en la fila, como un himnario en el piso, durante la misa. Les pedimos a los que están en la fila que sean considerados con los demás. Gracias.
