SNOW / INCLEMENT WEATHER CLOSINGS   

Mass is never canceled due to bad weather. St. Anthony of Padua Parish, including the religious gift shop, follows Fairfax County Public Schools policy regarding closings and delays due to inclement weather. We do not want parishioners to feel obligated to attend Sunday Mass during severe snowstorms, icy conditions, or other dangerous weather conditions.  Use your judgment and do not endanger yourself or others.

Baptized Catholics are expected to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.  There are circumstances that may excuse a Catholic from this obligation.  Being ill, homebound, or severe weather conditions are samples of situations that may affect your safety or the safety of others.  The Church recommends you make a spiritual Communion and spend time in prayer.

Our live-streamed Masses are available to those who cannot attend due to inclement weather. 

• All parish activities, except Mass, will be canceled when Fairfax County cancels its school and/or activities.  Please monitor local TV stations, radio stations, or via your phone.
• If there is a two hour delayed opening on the weekdays, the office and gift shop will open two hours late as well.  Click here to see parish office hours, click here.

Our parish strives to be the Body of Christ. At each Mass, we acknowledge our need for the Lord’s forgiveness and we are nourished by His Body and Blood. We give God thanks and praise for the Supreme Gift of His presence in the Word, the Eucharist, and the worshipping community. From Mass, we are then sent forth in Peace to Love and serve the Lord.
