Our History

PARISH

Holy Family Parish was established in September, 1970, by Bishop John J. Russell of Richmond. It became a parish of the Diocese of Arlington when the latter was erected in 1974.

Thanks to the generosity of parishioners, the church and office building was built in 1974, the school and activities building was built in 1989, and the rectory was built in 1996.

Today Holy Family Parish serves over 12,000 registered parishioners (over 3,400 families).

SCHOOL & PRESCHOOL

Holy Family began our preschool in 1992 and our elementary school in 1996, graduating our first eighth grade class in 2005.
