Cardinal Robert McElroy will celebrate The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Washington’s 16th annual White Mass on Sunday, Oct. 26 at 11 a.m. at Our Lady of Mercy Church in Potomac, Maryland.

Sponsored by the archdiocesan Office of Deaf and Disabilities Ministry, Life Issues and Social Justice, the Mass is offered each year to honor and value the giftedness and the full, active participation in the Church of persons from the Deaf Community and persons living with disabilities.

The Mass has the designation of “white” because of that color’s connectedness to one’s baptismal promises.

The Mass is open to the public, and a reception will follow Mass.

Our Lady of Mercy Church is located at 9200 Kentsdale Drive in Potomac, Maryland.

For more information, call 301-853-4560.
