Things to do in District of Columbia, District of Columbia: The Best Churches & Cathedrals

St. Ann's Church is a non-profit parish that serves more than 600 Catholic families in Northwest Washington, D.C. We serve the local community through fundraising projects and service activities, provide education to youth in grades K-12, and serve the spiritual needs of our members through church services and opportunities that enable members to be the Body of Christ. Through annual and biannual campaigns, we support organizations like Friendship Place, which aims to end homelessness, and partner with groups like the Tenleytown Historical Society to promote events for the community. The church is located one block south of the Tenleytown/American University red line metro stop. St. Ann is the oldest Catholic parish in the part of Washington, DC which lies west of Rock Creek Park and north of Georgetown. The present-day church is the third on the site, and is a larger version of a church designed by the same architect who designed the cathedral for the Archdiocese of Atlanta.

This Gothic-style cathedral is the sixth largest in the world and is put to all sorts of national purposes, such as President Wilsons funeral and a prayer vigil for American hostages during the Iranian crisis.
