Archbishop Donald Wuerl will be the principal celebrant for the Archdiocese of Washington's second annual “White Mass” to honor the gifts of persons with special needs on Sunday, October 23 at 11:30am at the Cathedral. The Mass will bring together national, regional and local leaders with special needs and those who serve them. Persons with special needs, family members, clergy, pastoral care workers, ministry and nonprofit staff, and business and government leaders also will attend.

The Mass has the designation of white for our baptism, which renders all Catholics equal in dignity in God’s sight. Wheelchair accessible and sign language interpreted. For accommodation requests or more information, contact Peg Kolm, Department of Special Needs Ministries at 301-853-4560 or kolmm@adw.org.  All are welcome.
