Cardinal Wuerl has recently written a letter asking all Catholics to become informed about the serious implications of the new HHS mandate. This ruling requires virtually all faith-based institutions to pay for all FDA-approved contraceptives, including sterilizations and drugs that are used after conception and after implantation of a fertilized egg. You can learn more about this issue, including some avenues for having your voice heard, at the US Bishops website.



Holy Trinity is a Catholic parish sponsored by the Society of Jesus. We share the Society's mission to serve the faith and to promote justice. As disciples of Christ, we seek to be transformed by the Holy Spirit through our celebration of Eucharist and our practice of Ignatian spirituality into a welcoming and prayerful community that shares God's life and love with each other and the world. Founded and administered by the Jesuits since 1794, Holy Trinity is the oldest Church in continuous operation in the Nation's Capital.
