Holy Trinity Catholic Church's

Holy Trinity Catholic Church is sponsored by the Society of Jesus, their mission is to serve the faith and promote justice. Parishioners aim to be transformed by the Holy Spirit through their celebration of Eucharist and practice of Ignatian spirituality. The church was founded in 1794 by Jesuits and is one of the oldest churches in operation in Washington DC.

The first church was built in 1794 and still stands serving as the chapel for the parish. A second building was built 35 years later to meet the demands of a growing parish; this building is now used as the primary place of worship.

During the Second Battle of Bull Run in 1862, the church was requisitioned by the United States as a military hospital. More then 200 soldiers were treated at the church. The church was returned for parish use in 1863, and the government reimbursed the church $350 for its use during the battle.

Over 3,500 families are members of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, at one time this included President John F. Kennedy and his family. The church celebrates mass each Sunday, daily masses and regular Sacrament of Reconciliations. Other events throughout the year include communal rites for Anointing of the Sick, Evening Prayers, School Masses, First Communions and Confirmations. There are also funerals, baptisms and weddings celebrated at Holy Trinity.
