It's a warm, welcoming congregation with a strong mission focus and a little something for everyone. There are strong, well established and professionally staffed children's and youth ministries. There are strong, well established adult Sunday School classes, small groups and a Senior Activities Group that travels the country together. There is even a fledgling young professionals group small group afterthe Wednesday night dinners.

We've made Saint Matt's or gone now for 22 years, and things continue to improve. The church is incredibly innovative in ways they reach out into the community and meet the needs of the current members/parishioners. When COVID lockdown beganes the next Sunday immediately streamed services online. Then quickly began offering outdoor services to compliment the online offering. They have created non-profits to directly help the community, and constantly give to the community, especially those who may not be regular members. There's a constant recognition that God works through us in our community and our daily actions. It's clear our family is committed to St. Matt's, and love the contemporary 9:30 service with drums, electric guitars, and singers at a concert level quality. I'm always surprised the 8am and 11am traditional services don't have more attendees, since they match the Episcopal services we're used to. They're very moving services, but we still found our connection at 9:30.

I started attending St. Matt's several years ago now, and have been consistently impressed by what I have seen: valuable teaching, a church-wide can-do spirit, wise and thoughtful leadership, and welcome for all, no matter where people are on their faith journey. I have grown in my faith while attending, and look forward to continuing God's work with these brothers and sisters for years to come.

Everything is complimentary, so that's nice, but they do request donations; I'm not sure if that's the best business model, but whatevs. Live music on Sundays. Staff is friendly, but can get a little preachy. Sundays are busy, but the place is slammed on holidays. I've been once on a Friday; was told it would be "good," but it was actually somber and somewhat macabre. I'd give this place a lower rating, but for some reason I feel compelled to give it five stars.

"Remember that when you leave this earth, you can take with you nothing that have received--only…read morewhat you have given. ... For it is in giving that we receive." ― St. Francis of Assisi The Saint Joseph Parish and School in Herndon, VA, is tended by the Order of St. Francis (of Assisi). It is the Franciscans who walk the halls of the school and preside over Mass at the St. Joseph Parish. The comfort and grace of St. Francis is apparent in all they do and say. The Rosary is prayed each morning from 7:30 to 8 AM by the community before the 8 AM Mass. Unlike other Catholic churches which are moving away from having statuaries and altars to St. Joseph, Mother Mary, and the saints, Saint Joseph Parish encourages reflection and prayer to the all whom our Church possible. The Franciscan priests give wonderful homilies, making the Gospel accessible to all. It may not be a modern church or an aesthetic church (by modern standards), but parishioners are encouraged to pause, reflect, pray and discuss. In the memory of St. Francis of Assisi who reminded us that it is in giving that we receive, Saint Joseph Parish gives so much to those who attend, and encourages parishioners to share and give in return.

This is the church I was married in, my daughter was baptized in, and I attend regularly. If you are familiar with the Catholic faith, you will be familiar with the teachings of this church. It's a beautiful building and the history behind it and all of the statues in the church is wonderful to learn about. The priests are very kind and my husband and I thoroughly enjoy attending church here. As the other Yelper commented, yes the Catholic church encourages you to utilize your parishioner envelopes as a form of "attendance", but this is very common practice not limited to this specific church. If you are looking to become a member of a church or you are new to the area, there are several groups within the church (choir, Knights of Columbus, young adults group, etc) that help you meet others. I strongly recommend attending the church and reaching out to other members. There are so many Catholic Churches within the area, my husband and I were happy to find OLOH!
