AN EXCITING OPPORTUNITY
​FOR NOVA

NOVA Catholic Community is sponsoring a family of 5 from Guatemala that have been legally cleared to live in the United States while their asylum hearing is pending.  They are now waiting for the work permits to come through before the asylum hearing.  The 3 children are all in school and very happy to be learning English. NOVA members are teaching English to the parents.  The core committee of 7 plus other support people are helping in many ways.  If you are interested in donating to this project you can go to the donate page of the website or send a check to NOVA Catholic Community 10000 Winnepeg Ct. Burke VA 22015  ATTN: Treasurer. Please note your donation is for Guatemala Family.

Welcome to all

NOVA is a spirit-filled, Eucharist-centered, progressive Catholic community worshiping weekly in Arlington, VA. Members include residents from all over the Greater Washington DC area and others who have moved away but stay connected and frequently drop in from all corners of the globe. As we nurture our Christian faith, we work for peace and social justice and a more caring world.

​Our commitment is to live a faith-filled life, enriched by the Eucharist, enlivened by friendship, and deepened by service to others. There is a deep respect for each individual’s personal faith journey.

We are a part of a renewed way of being Church where all are welcome, liturgies are inclusive, and decision-making is shared. We have a special sensitivity to those who have not been able to find the worship community they seek in a more traditional setting.
