• Summary:Located at 1404 Pacific Ave in Virginia Beach, the parish blends deep roots (cornerstone laid June 4, 1915; a 100th‑anniversary history is available) with an active, welcoming community life. It offers comprehensive sacramental formation — RCIA meets Thursday evenings with sacraments received at the Easter Vigil, full preparation for Baptism, First Reconciliation/Eucharist and Confirmation, and Reconciliation on the First and Third Saturdays at 3:30 PM — alongside Life Teen and other youth programs. Music is a strong focus, with an adult choir at the 10:00 AM Mass (Sept–June) and regular youth and cantor rehearsals, while seniors gather monthly for the Shining Stars noon Mass and birthday potluck on the second Friday. The parish also runs extensive social outreach (Parish Pantry at 1314 Arctic Circle M/W/F 9:30–11:30 AM, soup kitchen, Meals on Wheels, migrant ministry) and provides practical online resources — daily Mass readings via a widget, ParishesOnline bulletin, FaithDirect giving, calendar subscriptions, downloadable planning PDFs, and legacy giving options.
