St. Dunstan's
Episcopal Church in McLean, Virginia, is
a lively, growing community actively engaged in worship,
outreach and prayer. On Sundays, we worship together
at 8:15 a.m. and 10:15 a.m., with the latter service
offering spiritual music including full choir and
pipe organ, as well as
nursery care. All services offer the sacrament of Holy
Eucharist, and on the first and third Sunday we offer
the Ministry of Healing to those who so desire immediately
following Communion. In
addition, a mid-week Eucharist is celebrated regularly
during much of the year.St. Dunstan's parishioners
minister to our community through many regional organizations
-- including Samaritan Ministry, Martha's Table, Building
Together, the SHARE food bank, and Habitat for Humanity
-- and enjoy education programs, groups, and activities
for all ages. What

We welcome visitors to come celebrate
with us and to call the parish office at 703-356-7533

NEWS AND INFORMATION
Reconciliation of the Penitent
On Sunday mornings, we say the Confession of Sin together in our worship. The Book of Common Prayer offers an alternative personal confession called the Reconciliation of the Penitent on page 447. This is a personal confession done with a priest and be particularly helpful as part of a Lenten discipline. Some people have found this personal unburdening of their sins to be very helpful.
If you are interested in this type of confession, please contact the Reverend Anna Scherer or the Reverend Stephen Shepherd. We will arrange a time to meet you in the Chapel. At the appointed meeting time come to the chapel and you will find the priest dressed in a cassock sitting just behind the altar rail. While kneeling at the altar rail, you and the priest will say/pray the words in the Prayer Book. The priest will then offer absolution. There is complete confidentiality.
