[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For all those saying that I am judgmental and weird, please consider that Catholicism in other countries is conducted differently.
I'd like my parents to enjoy the music and lights but also to experience Christ-focused mass.
Thanks for all the useful suggestions. I will go with Little Flower or another smaller parish.[/quote]

I’m an American born Catholic but I’ve been to mass fairly regarly in at least 4 other countries (including in Latin America, Europe and Eastern Europe).  I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about by saying that “Catholicism in other countries is conducted differently”. And it’s pretty offensive of you to suggest that American churches do not have a “Christ focused mass.”   
Go with God, though.

Yes I also have no idea what you are talking about OP. [/quote]

+3  OP, please accept that you have a an incorrect view of what Mass is like in U.S. Catholic churches.

In any case, your parents may also really appreciate the masses in some of the DC churches attached to Monasteries:

Franciscan Monastery midnight mass: https://myfranciscan.org/worship/

St. Anselm's Abbey (will be vey small and intimate): http://stanselms.org

The National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception (aka the Basilica) has Mass at 10: http://www.nationalshrine.com/atf/cf/%7BB0534716-4524-407D-A065-B68C4BFCB4BE%7D/2017%20Advent%20Brochure%20Fr%20Weston%20Approved.pdf
