[quote=Anonymous]DCUMers will be happy to hear( or maybe not?) that the Society of St. Pius X now has a church in DC. Received this email today

“As you have been told previously, the gathering of our little congregation at the Everly Funeral Home in Falls Church can only be a transitory step in the life of our Mission. Since the beginning of the St Pius X Mission in 2012, the lay staff and the priests have been working hard in order to identify and purchase a permanent church. And again last year your priests have been told by Bishop Fellay, then their Superior, that the Society of St Pius X must possess its own Church in the Washington DC area.

It is now a fact that the St Pius X Mission of Washington DC has acquired its permanent building. In less than a month a property was found, assessed for being very suitable for our needs, and paid for in full by an anonymous benefactor. The new home of our Mission is in Maryland:

7604 S Osborne Rd
Upper Marlboro, MD, 20772

It is a stone's throw East of Joint Base Andrews. On a Sunday morning, it is eight minutes from the Beltway, exit 11 A.

When reviewing the facts your priests and their superiors have been obliged to recognize that this place meets all the requirements that had been identified over the years for such a Chapel. Besides the regular advantage of a permanent location (Masses celebrated on Holy days and 1st Saturdays, the possibility of a more convenient time for Sunday Mass, living quarters for the priest) this particular building:

-is close from Washington DC and can truly be called the SSPX Chapel of Washington DC;
-is already a church and this allows us to enter it and to hold our Sunday Masses there as soon as it pleases, without the need of extensive work for remodeling;
-sits on a five acres property which can be developed in the future for the building of a larger Church and of a Rectory house;  
-does not add any time to the trip your priests have to make from the Seminary in Central Virginia;
-is 30 minutes from Reagan Airport; 40 minutes from Baltimore International;
-is located in a beautiful area not yet too developed.

Also, it is a gift already paid for”

Deo Gratias!
In Christ
