Join the John Carroll Society at Nationals Park when the Nats play the Colorado Rockie on Tuesday, July 23rd.

We will have our usual pre-game gathering at 6 p.m. with Catholic Athletes for Christ President, Ray McKenna. Following the program, we have a block of seats in Section 111 (just outside the first-base line) so you can spend an evening enjoying our national pastime with your fellow JCS baseball fans.

Tickets are $55 and can be purchased here by July 19th

The annual Top of the Town event is a great opportunity for Young Members to gather for food, fellowship and a lovely view of Washington.

Additionally, in support of the Archdiocese's "Walk with Francis" campaign, which calls on groups and individuals to perform corporal works of mercy for those less fortunate as part of the Holy Father's visit, we will be collecting socks for men, women and children which Catholic Charities will distribute in the community. Please bring a package of new socks to the event.

This event is free but registration is required.

The Red Mass is celebrated annually at the Cathedral of St. Matthew the Apostle, traditionally on the Sunday before the first Monday in October, which marks the opening of the Supreme Court's annual term. Its purpose is to invoke God's blessings on those responsible for the administration of justice as well as on all public officials.

Most Rev. Wilton D. Gregory
Archbishop of Washington
Principal Celebrant and Homilist
