“Today more than ever, humanity cries out and calls for peace. This is a cry that requires responsibility and reason, and it must not be drowned out by the din of weapons or the rhetoric that incites conflict.” |
WELCOME TO ALL
2025-2026 NOVA Co-Chairs
Jeanne Clarkson Clair Lamb |
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. |
