WASHINGTON, DC— The annual Memorial Mass for Father Vincent R. Capodanno, MM, Servant of God, will take place at 6:30 p.m. ET on Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, in the Crypt Church of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, 400 Michigan Avenue, Northeast, Washington, DC. His Excellency, the Most Reverend Timothy P. Broglio, J.C.D., Archbishop for the Military Services, USA, will be the principal celebrant and homilist.

Archbishop Broglio celebrates this special Mass each year for the repose of Father Capodanno, killed in Vietnam on September 4, 1967, as he ministered to embattled U.S. Marines in South Vietnam’s Quế Sơn Valley. For his uncommon valor Father Capodanno posthumously received the Nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, and in May 2006 the Catholic Church officially proclaimed him a Servant of God thus formally initiating his Cause for Canonization.

The Father Vincent Capodanno Guild is the one and only official organization established to promote the Cause for Canonization of Father Capodanno. For more information, visit www.CapodannoGuild.org.

All are invited to attend the Memorial Mass for Father Vincent Capodanno on the 57th anniversary of the day he laid down his life on a bloody battlefield for those to whom he ministered in service to God and Country. Media coverage is welcomed.

There will be open seating, so please plan to arrive early. Military members are encouraged to wear the uniform of the day, and business attire is appropriate for civilians.
