Sacrament of Baptism Parish Registration and the Baptism class are required. Baptisms are held every Sunday of each month at 1:30 p.m. in the Church Baptistery. Please contact the parish secretary to register for the Baptism classes. Plan to attend the classes before the birth of the child.
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 3 months is required before preparation may begin. Living together before marriage is sinful and harmful to the future marriage. Couples who are living together will be asked to live separately during the preparation time.
What does it mean to be an active Catholic? Frequently, those seeking to celebrate Marriage, have children baptized, or serve as sponsors for Confirmation or Baptism request a letter stating that they are parishioners and active, practicing Catholics. To receive such a letter, one must be registered in the parish for at least 3 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, one means of verifying participation is through the use of parish offertory envelopes. If you choose not to participate in the support of the parish, or are unable to contribute at this time, please at least 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.
Please Pray For… The list of the sick and homebound of our parish can be found at www.ourladyofhope.net, our parish website. Please use the “Parish Life” link to get to the list. To add a name, please use the online form or call the parish
office. Please pray for:
Billy Borman & Mary Ann Botta, Carlos & Rosella Cassidy , Sandra Brown.
Call to Vocations Is your love for the Lord leading you to grow in holiness as a priest, deacon or in the conse-crated life? Contact Father J.D. Jaffe at (703) 841-2514 or [email protected] If you sense that Christ may be calling you to the priesthood, diaconate, or consecrated life, contact Father J.D. Jaffe at [email protected] or 703-841-2514 or call Father Saunders or Father Farrell.
The Pope’s Prayer Intentions for June Universal: That immigrants and refugees may find wel-come and respect in the countries to which they come. Evangelization: That the personal encounter with Jesus may arouse in many young people the desire to offer their own lives in priesthood or consecrated life.
Father’s Day Novena In honor of Father’s Day, a Novena of Masses will be offered for all fathers, living and deceased. Please com-plete a card available at the entrances of the church. You may return the completed envelope by placing it in the collection basket, giving it to an usher, or dropping it off at the parish office. This is a wonderful way to remember our fathers.
