Assessment
All Saints Manassas is the first Catholic parish in Manassas (1879), now one of the largest parishes in the conservative Diocese of Arlington under Msgr. Lee Roos. Catholic theological profile: Nicene orthodoxy and male priesthood preserved, soteriology's sacramental/works framework remains the red-flag divergence from sola fide.
