We visited Assumption Church on Sunday, June 20th. We took advantage of a weekend car rental to visit this church located in Congress Heights, quite distant from the city center.
Somewhat similar to Incarnation Church, Assumption is a small church serving an overwhelmingly black neighborhood. All but one of the hundred-strong congregation was black; trending older and female. The (outgoing) parish priest celebrated Mass, ably assisted by his deacon and two altar servers. There was a small choir of eight with an organist.
