The Parish
The current parish is a diverse, urban congregation of families and individuals from both the downtown area and the entire Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. Some parishioners come from as far away as Baltimore, Annapolis, and Richmond. It has a thriving 20s and 30s group including students from nearby Virginia Theological Seminary who also attend services there.
