Saint Thomas à Becket
Roman Catholic Church, Reston, Virginia

Parish Growth and Development

The configuration of the church has been changed to afford greater seating space with the sanctuary having been relocated a quarter turn to the right of the free-standing post. Our pastor, Fr. Tom, will announce and explain any further changes as they are implemented. Check this page as well as the parish bulletin for further updates.

Saint Matthew	Saint Mark	Ambo Design	Saint Luke	Saint John
The ambo from which the Word is proclaimed and celebrated includes an artistic device which represents the Celtic representations of the writers of the four Gospels surrounding a cross.

   Stations of the Cross   

The fourteen Italian hand carved stations of the cross, which were installed directly behind the sanctuary's former location, have been arranged to surround the congregation allowing for more movement between stations as originally intended by St. Francis of Assisi, the originator of this devotion.
