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 parish-

ioners and active, practicing Catholics. To receive such

a letter, one must be registered in the parish, 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.

“But pray my children. God will hear you in a little while.

My son allows Himself to be moved with compassion.”

The message of our Blessed Mother to the children of Pontmain,

France (January 17, 1871)

Baptism & Baptism Class

To begin the process of having a child baptized, please

contact the parish office for information. There is

paperwork (Godparent forms/Information Sheet for

the Sacramental Register) as well as a baptism class

for parents to complete. Baptisms are held on Sundays

at 1:30 p.m.

The baptism class is held monthly on Saturdays at

11:00 a.m. Please call the office to pre-register for the

next available class.

First Communion

For Children: Generally, First Communion is

received when a child is in Second Grade. Students in

the RE Program are required to be registered for both

first and second grade to begin preparation for the

Sacrament. Please contact the Religious Education

Office with questions.

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.
