Saint Benedict the Moor is a Catholic Church located in the Northeast section of Washington, DC, near RFK Stadium and Stadium-Armory Metro. 

The parish was founded in 1946 by the Josephites, a religious order committed to serve the African American community.  In 1952, Cardinal O'Boyle dedicated the present structure, a combination church/hall and rectory.  A convent and school under the care of the Oblate Sisters of Providence and lay teachers was opened 10 years later in 1962.  In 1978, a parish center (known as the Imperial Room) opened, leaving the original church/hall structure exclusively as a sanctuary for Mass.
