CASA ITALIANA

We, the Roman Catholic family of Holy Rosary Church, staffed by the Missionaries of St. Charles founded by the Blessed John Baptist Scalabrini, who saw migration as both a universal and permanent phenomenon that nurtures the global family, are a parish traditionally rooted in ministry to Italians and all Catholics on the move in the Greater Washington, D.C. Area.

Empowered by the Gospel, we bring Jesus to each other and to all we meet by ministering to the spiritual, physical, social and cultural needs of our diverse community. In a welcoming environment, we celebrate the Eucharist, pray and work together under the protection of Our Lady of the Rosary. Through evangelization, education and acculturation, we are committed to sharing the love of Christ with everyone and to making the community a better place for people of all ages and backgrounds.

Since its opening in 1981, Casa Italiana has become the fulcrum for Italians and Italian-Americans in the Greater Washington area and, indeed, for all those who treasure things Italian, by hosting characteristic events and cultural activities throughout the year. From the traditional Lasagna and Polenta Dinners (Italians make good cooks with specialties from both the North and South) to the dances which include the romantic Valentine Gala (Italians made good lovers) and the New Year's Eve Ball (Italians also make good party-goers), there are activities to enjoy for everyone.

Choral groups from Italy use Casa Italiana Hall when making their tours of the major cities in the United States.
Besides sponsoring its own cultural and social activities, Casa Italiana Hall also rents itself out to other groups who wish to hold events of a religious, cultural, or social nature. Casa Italiana Hall converts into a comfortable dining room suitable for banquets and weddings, anniversaries and other professional gatherings.
