St. Joseph

The church offers great on-site parking accommodations, which is helpful given the limited parking in Old Town Alexandria.

Visitors consistently describe a warm, welcoming, and inclusive community, with a friendly welcome extended to all at the start of Mass.

The sermons are highly praised, with the deacon (Deacon Albert Anderson) giving some very memorable homilies.

The music is described as fabulous, and the church is known for having a great Gospel choir.

The community is a diverse and unified small, faith-filled parish, originally serving African American Catholics.

Father Donald Fest and Deacon Albert Anderson are highly regarded by the community.
