We attended 10:30am Mass at this church located in the Palisades community in Northwest DC. This pretty church was about three-quarters full, with quite a lot of families with young children (today was Catechumen's Day, at which the Church recognizes and blesses teachers; this may explain the young attendance). The congregation was overwhelmingly white, though there were some blacks and Hispanics there as well. This church has a weekly Mass for the Croatian community.
The priest celebrated Mass with the assistance of an organist, choir, Eucharistic ministers. The Mass followed the standard rite. Two notable aspects were (i) two women collecting, and (ii) the choir coming down from the loft for Holy Communion and returning to there afterwards. This is the first time we've seen a choir relocate during a Mass.
The priest gave a homily on the topic of wealth, based on the Luke's Gospel of serving either God or mammon.
