While the White Mass was obviously the focal point of the day, Fr. Gould’s tour of the Basilica after Mass was simply amazing. There were so many things to see and explore, and Father’s wealth of knowledge is remarkable. It was time very well spent. I hope we can hold future White Masses there. Thank you Father for making the arrangements and for such a spectacular day!

Our Northern Virginia CMA Guild met at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception for our Annual White Mass which was celebrated by our chaplain Fr. Gould. It was a wonderful celebration in a spectacular setting. Father shared a message of encouragement snd meaning in his homily. Afterwards, we held a tailgate party in the parking lot so we could reconnect, share good times, and simply enjoy the day.
