St. Robert Bellarmine Chapel

I am so thankful that these people have an 8 PM and 10 PM mass. I’m one of those Catholics that goes from church to church from week to week, basically attending mass wherever my business takes me on Saturday and Sunday. I’m a real estate agent. Knowing that I can do house hunts on Friday, do that and work on contracts on Saturday, and run Open Houses on Sunday and still make it to mass (even after a 2 hour nap) for an insightful homily from Padre Pedro and a homely church experience is reassuring. The parking situation could be much better, but the people make it worth it.
4.5 to 5 Stars

8pm & 10pm Mass, c’mon, no excuse to miss Mass anymore :-) Caters to college students, so it’s not your average parish, a mix of contemporary with a little tiny but of traditional. Being an alum from GMU I can say that going to Mass is not on the top list of «things to do» for many. But a youthful priest and young leaders do a pretty impressive job of actually being Catholic. I wish they taught more of what it means to be Catholic and what makes it so unique and special; therefor making one proud to be Catholic. Considering the college alternative, I give it 4 strong stars.

The music was the worst I’ve ever heard at any Catholic Mass. Ever. It was a cliché of what bad Catholic music can sound like. A kid with an acoustic guitar.
I was invited to «greet my neighbor» before Mass. I declined.
I left just after the consecration. Find a better option for Mass in the Diocese of Arlington. Blech.

This is the chapel of the Catholic Campus Ministry at George Mason University. Currently, a schedule of Mass times is located here:
This is a pleasant church to attend, although it’s regularly overcrowded. Despite being the center of Catholic student activity, families and post-​graduate individuals can always be found here, too. It’s a very welcoming environment.
The chaplain here, Fr. Peter Nassetta, is a favorite with the students and adults alike.
Parking isn’t great here, and sometimes the music is patchy, but any downsides are made up for by the fact that they have wonderfully late Masses during the academic year.
Interesting aside: during later Masses, keep an eye out on the circular stained glass window of the dove in the back. Once the sun sets, the image strangely transforms into a clawed hand grasping the dove! Is this intentional?
