PARISH STAFF
Baptism & Baptism Class: Baptisms are held on Sundays at 1:30 p.m. The baptism class for parents is held monthly on Saturdays at 11:00 a.m. Please call the Parish Secretary to pre-register for the next available class. Sacrament of Matrimony: In accordance with the regulations of the Bishop of Arlington, couples must contact a priest and begin preparation at least six months prior to the wedding. Parish registration and active participation for a minimum of three months is required before preparation may begin. Couples who are living together will be asked to live separately during the preparation time as living together before marriage is sinful and harmful to the future marriage.
First Communion: For Children: Generally, First Communion is received when a child is in second grade. Preparation for First Communion is a two year process, and students must complete both first and second grade classes before receiving Holy Communion. Please contact the Religious Education Office with questions. Sacramental Preparation for Adults (RCIA): Adults who wish to receive Baptism, First Communion, and/or Confirmation are invited to attend the Inquiry Class, taught by Father Saunders on Thursday evenings. Please contact the Parish Secretary or visit the website to register.
What does it mean to be an active Catholic? Those seeking to celebrate Marriage, have children baptized, or have a letter signed to serve as sponsors for Confirmation or Baptism should be parishioners and active, practicing Catholics. To be considered active, one must have been registered in the parish for at least three months, attend Mass regularly, and be committed to a stewardship of time, talent, and treasure. We encourage all parishioners to become active in one of the parish organizations.
In a community as large as Our Lady of Hope, our most effective means of verifying active participation is through the use of parish offertory envelopes or electronic giving, such as Faith Direct. If you choose not to participate in the support of the parish, or are unable to contribute at this time, please note your prayerful support on your envelope and place it in the weekly offertory. We will then be aware of your continued participation, and you will not be noted as "inactive" on our parish roster.

SINATRA TRIBUTE
Each year, we have several students in need of financial aid attending Our Lady of Hope Catholic School. The parish itself and PTO award over $60,000 in such aid.
Nevertheless, unexpected hardships happen. A family’s financial circumstances can change in an instant—job loss, illness, or other unforeseen hardships can overwhelm a family.
The Guardian Angel Fund provides an opportuni-ty to respond with prayer, kindness, and support
when a family within our own school community is struggling. The fund allows fami-lies experiencing a crisis to meet their tuition obligation in a way that protects their dignity. Like the work of each of our guardian angels, the generosity of such giving is unseen, but it has the important impact of allowing students to continue their education uninterrupted.
Many of us know the benefit of Catholic education, and even more, the impact of a faith-based educational environment on the success of a young person in this life and the life to come. If you would like to help a child in need, please contact Father Saunders.
