“We do this to remember his energy, enthusiasm, strength, & love for being active. May his example lead us to keep moving, doing good deeds for others, living the faithful good life, and always...walking or running...humbly.” In loving memory of Father Jerome Wirth 1941-2013.

About Olney

Learn more about the host city, Olney.

Olney, along with its smaller neighbors Sandy Spring and Brookeville, lies in the northeast of Montgomery County, Maryland. All three are quiet, wealthy towns and exurbs of Washington, D.C., home to a good-sized Quaker population, and with a more rural, slower-paced character than other suburbs of D.C.
