Location

Holy Rosary Catholic Church is located at 595 Third Street NW in Washington, D.C. It is near the National Building Museum and Judiciary Square metro station.

History

Holy Rosary held its first mass on Sunday, December 14, 1913, at 83 H Street, NW, in the living room of a house rented by Father Nicola De Carlo, the first pastor. The congregation quickly outgrew this chapel and moved to a second townhouse at 902 Third Street, NW, where it stayed until it was able to build its own church. The cornerstone was laid for the third, and current, location on September 7, 1919, and the upper church was dedicated on April 29, 1923. [1]

In the 1950s, when sections of the city were undergoing urban renewal, Holy Rosary was almost demolished when plans were proposed for the construction of I-395. [2]

The parish celebrated its centennial on December 8, 2013. [2]
