Marian Homes Cruises to New Property in Fairfax
Marian Homes, Inc., a program sponsored by our Knights of
Columbus Council 8600, is a non-profit organization whose sole
mission is to own and maintain group homes in Virginia for
persons with intellectual disability. They purchased their
first home in the Brecon Ridge subdivision of Fairfax in 1998
and is currently the residence to five women. Marian Homes
purchased a second home in the Greenbriar subdivision of Fairfax
and this home will be the residence of four men who are expected
to move to the residence in August 2010.
Marian Homes is sponsoring a five day cruise to Bermuda, sailing
from Baltimore on April 11, 2011 and wish to invite you to join
them on aboard the Royal Caribbean's Enchantment Of The Seas.
Pricing starts at only $118 per person per day. As the sponsor
of this Group Cruise, Marian Homes will benefit from your
participation in this exciting vacation experience.
Your support to this worthwhile fund-raising effort will help
Marian Homes immensely in their mission to provide homes for the
intellectually disabled.

Give This Some
Thought…
Nothing for a child is ever wasted. Their eyes are watching how you spend
your time, your money, and your talent. What values are you teaching? Consider
becoming a catechist in the Religious Education Program. Catechists learn as
they share their faith with the children of St. Mary’s. Learn and grow with your
children. Explore the possibility. Catechists are needed at all levels, K-6.
Call Esther Silva, 703-978-4141, x29, or email

Remember Our Food Pantry -
Many thanks to all who
donate food and other basics to help the needy through our parish food pantry.
If you are able, please try to remember the pantry when you are shopping during
the summer. We always need canned meat, fish and milk, detergents, cleaning
products, disposable diapers and baby wipes.
“The face of hunger is the
older couple who has worked hard for their entire lives only to find their
savings wiped out by unavoidable medical bills; or a single mother who has to
choose whether the salary from her minimum wage job will go to buy food or pay
rent; or a child who struggles to concentrate on his schoolwork because his
family couldn’t afford dinner the night before.”
