[quote=Anonymous]Arlington is special. I have friends who tried to register for the parish next door of St. Teresa's in Ashburn. The neighboring parish said no. My friends left the Catholic Church b/c they refused to attend St. Theresa's. My understanding is it is a money thing. That they are trying to keep each parish in the black and a priest who is friends with a priest in a neighboring parish will not take his money. Some parishes have very desirable schools and they will not let in out of boundary parishioners so they save the spots in their school for the people who live nearby (St. Mary's Alexandria) For people who are OK with the POV of the parish - it is not an issue. For some of the more social justice leaning Catholics, Arlington is difficult to work with. It has enabled Holy Trinity in GT to keep a lot of $$ in their coffers as 1/3 of the parishioners come from Virginia.[/quote]
