Based in Tysons, Virginia, Our Lady of Good Counsel is a Catholic parish with a history dating to 1955 in nearby Vienna, where Masses were first held in a local fire station as the community grew. In 1956, administration was entrusted to the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales, and their Salesian spirituality continues to influence the parish’s ministries and programs. The organization serves as a local hub for worship, faith formation, and community life. The parish operates Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic School, established in 1957 to educate students from preschool through eighth grade. The school holds accreditation from the Virginia Catholic Education Association, participates in the National Catholic Educational Association, and has been honored as a Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Department of Education. Its approach emphasizes academic achievement, faith formation, the arts, and service, aiming to cultivate well-rounded learners rooted in Catholic values.
