From the Grand KnightWelcome to the new Fraternal Year! It's an honor to be serving as your Grand Knight. We have both faithful and fun events coming up this year. Please support your Council's activities - bring your enthusiasm, share your faith, and make new friends. You are the men behind the scenes supporting parish events (Charity), who help each other to strengthen our faith (Unity), and who stand ready to help our brothers (Fraternity).

Order of Christian Initiation of Adults
St. Mary of Sorrows' Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA)
Do you know of a non-Catholic family member, friend, neighbor, colleague, etc., who may be interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith & who you might be able to help in that regard?
Do you know someone who was baptized Catholic, but has not received the sacraments of Eucharist & Confirmation?
Do you know someone who has been coming to Mass for a while, but is not Catholic?
In essence, are you aware of anyone who might be interested in exploring & learning about Catholicism this fall here at St. Mary's?
Fr. Vander Woude & the St Mary of Sorrows OCIA team are waiting to warmly welcome all who may be interested in learning more about Catholicism. We will aid, guide & support any & all inquirers on their journey to a deeper faith & hopefully toward full communion in the Catholic Faith at the 2025 Easter Vigil.
Inquiry classes will begin on Sept 11th & will continue on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 pm in Farrell Hall at the Parish Center.
For more information on how to register, contact Father Vander Woude at 703-978-4141, via Pastor's Front Office Asst., Irene Alexander, Ext 101, or email the OCIA Team Administrator, Ann Hartmann at [email protected] or Deacon Dave Maurer at [email protected].
