We are a Roman Catholic community united by our faith in God and nourished by Jesus through both the Word and the Eucharist. Empowered by the Holy Spirit, we strive to meet the spiritual and physical needs of our parish family and community through prayer and the ministries of the Church.
Crozet, Virginia is a growing community in Albemarle County, located at the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains.
On October 4, 2020 Bishop Knestout celebrated Mass in Crozet and officially named our mission community Our Lady of the Rosary. We are continuing to work to become a Parish. We have a contract to purchase property in Crozet to build our future church. Over the next months, we will be working through due diligence and planning approvals.
Our Lady of the Rosary is currently a mission of Church of the Incarnation parish in Charlottesville.
Our History:
On December 15, 2016, Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo gave local Catholics and Holy Comforter Catholic Church pastor Fr. Joseph Mary Lukyamuzi permission to begin holding a once-a-month Mass in Crozet in January 2014, a move that was designed to test community support for a church. Local Catholics formed the Crozet Mass Committee and Masses began in March of that year, on the second Sunday of the month, at The Field School and have continued since. They were an immediate success, and the first Mass attracted 250 people. Mass is now celebrated weekly.
The elevation to mission status allows the community to celebrate weekly Masses; to offer all the sacraments, among them baptisms and marriages; to begin a religious education program; and to begin the search for land suitable to build a church on
