As usual, there’s a lot going on around the Arlington Diocese this weekend, with activities catering to Catholics of all ages and interests.

Friday night, you can start your weekend with a purpose by joining the 40 Days for Life activists in pro-life outreach at the King Street Metro in Alexandria. Or, if you’re looking to be entertained, check out a free outdoor screening of “The Wrath of the Titans,” which will be showing at Echo Field at Mount St. Mary’s University in Emmitsburg, Md., starting at 9 p.m.

If you’re looking for some quiet time in prayer, there are a few opportunities for adoration of the Blessed Sacrament this weekend, including three all-night vigils Friday at St. Agnes Church in Arlington, Holy Spirit Church in Annandale and St. Mary Church in Alexandria, and a praise, worship and adoration service will take place at St. Leo the Great Church in Fairfax Saturday.

Also Saturday, there are a few opportunities for fun. The Edward Douglas White Knights of Columbus council will take a trip to Nationals Park in Washington to see the Nationals take on the Colorado Rockies at 3 p.m. Elsewhere, the city of Fairfax is hosting a free performance by the Altekameraden German Band at 5 p.m. and parishioners of St. Mark Church in Vienna are gathering at Auld Shebeen in Fairfax for an Irish Happy Hour at 5:30 p.m., which will benefit the pro-life mission work of a parishioner.

Sunday, you can finish your weekend at Missionhurst in Arlington, for a Chaplet of Divine Mercy and rosary at 3 p.m., followed by a patriotic concert with Civil War era-tunes at the National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg at 5.
