This year’s Catholics for Housing 5K Run/Walk for Affordable Housing will honor the memory of Father Gerry Creedon, founder of Catholics for Housing. 

The race through Bull Run Regional Park in Centreville is June 16, the 50th anniversary of Father Creedon’s ordination. Father Creedon, who was pastor of Holy Family Church in Dale City, died Nov. 16, 2017.

Catholics for Housing worked with the City of Manassas last year to secure the purchase of the East End Mobile Home Park, saving 59 families from eviction. The deal was finalized Jan. 11.
