St. Patrick's Church, Washington, DC and Grant Hyatt Washington (1000 H St NW)

The Mass is traditionally celebrated at St. Patrick Church, followed by a brunch (often referred to as the January Brunch) held at a nearby venue. The January Brunch traditionally focuses on members of the academic community, counting among its speakers many university presidents and professors. We especially welcome the attendance of alumni/ae of Catholic colleges and universities and new members of the John Carroll Society.

This year, the Mass celebrates the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, with Msgr. Peter J. Vaghi, Society Chaplain, as principal celebrant and homilist.

Following the Mass, brunch will be held at the Grand Hyatt Washington, where the brunch speaker will be Fr. James R. Van Dyke SJ, President of Georgetown Preparatory School.

His talk is entitled "The Crying Need for Catholic Imagination." All are welcome!

Brunch tickets are $60. Register here.
