Church Director -  Don Mailki
As a fraternal organization of Catholic men, the Knights of Columbus has strong ties to the Church. At all levels, from the local councils to the Supreme Council, the organization has the volunteer power, communications abilities and organization to help strengthen the Church while offering members and their families to grow in the faith.

St. Mary of Sorrows-- Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults  (RCIA)

Do you know of a non-Catholic family member, friend, neighbor, colleague who may be interested in knowing more about the Catholic faith? Do you know someone who was baptized Catholic, but has not received the sacraments of Eucharist and Confirmation? Do you know someone who has been coming to Mass for a while, but is not Catholic?

The St Mary of Sorrows RCIA team is waiting to warmly welcome all who may be interested in learning further about Catholicism.  We will guide inquirers on their journey to a deeper faith, and, hopefully, full communion in the Catholic Faith at the 2020 Easter Vigil.

Inquiry classes will begin on Sept 11th and will continue on Wednesday evenings from 7:30 - 9:00 pm in the Parish Center Conference Room.

For more information or to register, please contact Father Barkett at 703-978-4141 Ext 103 or email Team Administrator, Ann Hartmann,  amhartmann74@gmail.com.

Registration forms are available in the Parish Center lobby.  Completed forms may be left with the office staff.  An RCIA Team member will promptly contact anyone with an interest in the inquiry program.

Fr. Barkett & the St. Mary of Sorrows RCIA team are looking to get the word out to as many parishioners as possible about our parish's RCIA upcoming 2022-2023 Inquiry year,  which "kicks off" on September 14, 2022.
