The LAOH is celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Nuns of Battlefield Monument on Saturday September 21, 2024 with Mass at 12:10 pm at the Cathedral of St. Matthew on Rhode Island Avenue NW.

The Monument is across the street from St. Matthew. If you can’t join us on that day, just go and see the Monument when you are in Washington, DC.
