Welcome to Marian Homes
At Marian Homes, we believe that every person—regardless of ability—deserves a safe, loving place to call home.
For adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, the world can be overwhelming, and true belonging can feel out of reach. That’s why we exist: to provide more than just housing. We offer stability, dignity, and lifelong care in warm, supportive group homes where residents are treated like family.
Since 1998, Marian Homes, a Knights of Columbus founded and run organization, has been committed to creating not just spaces to live—but homes where individuals with intellectual disabilities can thrive. Our residents are cherished, encouraged, and loved for exactly who they are.
This is more than a mission. It’s a promise: to be the home that love built—and continues to grow—with your help.

2025 Fundraising Campaign
DonateWe are fundraising to refurbish our existing homes and beginning the process of purchasing our tenth home. We thank you for your generous donations which helped us provide homes for 45 intellectually disabled adults.

Why should I donate?
Intellectually disabled adults can live productive lives, working and contributing to society, but in many cases, they cannot live alone. As their parents age and can no longer care for their child, we provide a place where their son/daughter can live independently with others. Who is Marian Homes? Marian Homes was founded in 1996 by the St. Mary of Sorrows Council 8600 of the Knights of Columbus. Since that time, Marian Homes has worked with donors, partners, and the Fairfax County government to purchase, refurbish and maintain eight homes that 40 individuals with intellectual disabilities now call home. Is my donation tax-deductible? Yes, all donations are 100% tax-deductible and greatly appreciated. Here is a short video about Marian Homes. |

Prayer for People with Disabilities
God our Father, who created all people in your image: give persons with physical, cognitive, or emotional disabilities opportunities to do all that they are able to, and strengthen them to overcome challenges.
Jesus, who showed great compassion for those who suffer: comfort all who feel like their gifts are not used or that their value is not understood, so that they might take courage in your affection.
Holy Spirit, who fills believers with all good gifts: help me to reach out to persons with disabilities through friendship, care, and working to be sure that our church includes them in everything that we do and to break down barriers to inclusion in society.
We ask this in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
