DRIVING
   
   
  • From Constitution Avenue NW turn North onto Third Street. Holy Rosary Church is three blocks north on the right.
  • If approaching the city from the Baltimore-Washington Parkway, take the New York Avenue exit and proceed on New York Avenue until Fourth Street NW, at which point turn left (South direction), turn left at F street and the Church is one block away on Third Street.
  • If approaching from Virginia, take Interstate 66 directly into Constitution Avenue and proceed East until reaching Third Street NW at which point turn left. (Please note, Constitution Avenue is where the National Gallery of Art and the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art are located and is one block away from the Mall. Third Street NW is located on the east side of the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, therefore Holy Rosary Church is four blocks north of the Gallery).
  • If you are approaching from the South via Interstate 95, drive directly into the city on 395 (also known as Shirley Highway), take the 12th Street NW exit which will lead to a tunnel, upon emerging from the tunnel turn right onto Constitution Avenue and proceed to Third Street NW where one turns left to reach the Church.
    Parking at the Church is very limited but there is on-street parking immediately around the Church. Note, there is no parking around the office building of the Washington Headquarters of the FBI, which is across the street from Holy Rosary Church.

    Holy Rosary Church is a Roman Catholic place of worship. The Roman Catholic religion is based on four distinctive characteristics - one, holy, catholic, apostolic. In its oneness, the Catholic Church remains unified in its teachings and its authority, deriving both from its founder Jesus Christ, who commissioned His vicar in Rome to carry on His work on earth. Anyone deviating from this principle of unity, whether in doctrine or in authority, would automatically be alienated from being a member of the same church.

The second characteristic of the Roman Catholic Church is its holiness, which is the sole purpose of any house of worship. The Catholic Church maintains its mark of holiness by its official liturgies, and by its prayer life inside and outside its churches throughout the world. The holiness of its members, both those vowed as priests, deacons, religious sisters and brothers, and the many lay people who live good lives in their homes and at work is the mainstay behind the Church's claim to sanctity.

The third characteristic of the Catholic Church is its Catholicity, which means "universality" or a church spread throughout the world. This began and continues to be done in obedience to its founder, Jesus Christ, who mandated to His apostles that the faith He established be spread not only within the confine of Jerusalem, but throughout the World.

The fourth characteristic of the Roman Catholic Church is its apostolicity, which means that a line of succession in spiritual power through the sacrament of Holy Orders can be traced back to the time of the Apostles, the immediate followers of Jesus Christ. It is presently found in the pope, the bishops, the priests and deacons.

We invite you to share in the Roman Catholic religion and in our beliefs.
