The Holy Redeemer community is vibrant, spread out beyond the walls of the church and incorporated into the community where the church serves.  We provide local groups and clubs a safe place to meet as well as providing mentoring and training programs.  We provide the opportunity for young and old to participate in programs that address the needs of those who live within our local community as well as benefitting those in need in the broader Washington DC area.  Please take the time to review our many programs and activities.  There may well be one or more that move you to volunteer to help.  Often all that is required is a few hours a week or monthly and in some instances only seasonally as is the case in our Winter Coat drive.  We are always on the lookout for new volunteers and can assure new ones that they will be joining with a group of dedicated, friendly and positive parishioners who will welcome them to the program.

Mark your calendars for this year's Cardinal 5K and Half Mile Fun Run!
Saturday April 27th, 8:30 am
Every other spring, the Holy Redeemer Cardinal 5K and Half Mile Fun Run take place. On the morning of the race, hundreds of runners of all ages gather at the Church parking lot and set out to enjoy a scenic swing through Rock Creek Park and the Rock Creek Highlands neighborhood. The course challenges runners to tackle "The Hill" on Cedar Lane before turning back into the Holy Redeemer neighborhood. Shortly after the 5K runners depart, the Half Mile Fun Run (or walk!) begins for the young racers. All the kids win and receive a medal!
After the races, a post-race party takes place in the Church parking lot and includes refreshments and entertainment for the whole family.
The event benefits Holy Redeemer Catholic School. Please visit cardinal5k.com for details or to register.
