Corpus Christi Catholic Church is a territorial parish in the Diocese of Arlington, located in South Riding, Virginia. Dedicated to Corpus Christi—the Solemnity celebrating the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, instituted by Pope Urban IV in 1264 following the Eucharistic miracle at Bolsena and the visions of Saint Juliana of Liège—the parish emphasizes Eucharistic devotion, adoration, and faith formation.

Established in 2003 to serve the rapidly growing Catholic population in Loudoun County, the parish initially held Masses in local schools before dedicating its current church building in 2012. As of December 19, 2025, Corpus Christi continues to offer extensive ministries, including religious education, youth programs, and community outreach.

The parish community fosters devotion to the Eucharist through regular adoration and celebration of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi.

History

Corpus Christi Parish was established in 2003 by Bishop Paul G. Loverde of the Diocese of Arlington to accommodate population growth in the South Riding area.

Relics
