We attended 11am Mass at this lovely church in the Petworth neighborhood in Northwest DC. We arrived at the church a little early, just in time to hear a group recite the Rosary and the Litany of Mary. This is the first church we've seen do that before a Sunday Mass. Obviously some parishoners were in the church early for this; about 125 people were in attendance for Mass. The congregation was mostly black (and older), but with quite a few Hispanics and a couple of white people as well.
A lone priest celebrated Mass with a deacon, five altar servers, two readers, two eucharistic ministers, three cantors, and a four-person band. The Mass followed the standard Rite. The priest gave a homily on the central importance of the ten commandments. The priest summarized portions of his homily in Spanish.
