Maybe bipartisanship on the Hill has a prayer.

President-elect Joe Biden invited Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to attend church with him before the soon-to-be commander-in-chief’s inauguration Wednesday — and the GOP stalwart agreed.

Also set to attend Wednesday’s service at the Cathedral of St. Matthew in downtown Washington, DC, is House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and the Democrat from New York set to replace McConnell at the helm of the Senate hours after the service — Sen. Chuck Schumer, sources confirmed to The Post.

Biden will be the second Catholic to become US president.

The first was President John F. Kennedy — whose funeral Mass was held at St. Matthew’s after his assassination in 1963. The church was chosen because it was close enough for JFK’s widow, Jackie, to walk to it in the procession with his coffin, according to the National Catholic Reporter.
