Fr. Jim's Jots - Third Sunday in Lent, 3.15.2020

Fr. Jim's Jots

Lent is a special time for prayer and penance.  We are pleased to offer a special Lenten Retreat, Saturday, March 28.  Please see the bulletin and flyer in the back of the church for details and sign up this week.

The coronavirus is a concern for all of us.  With this in mind, the Catholic Diocese of Richmond has implemented the following directives: we are to cease the distribution of the cup, we are to refrain from the shaking of hands during the sign of peace or holding hands during the Lord's prayer and we've been asked to remove the Holy Water from the Holy Water Fonts.

This weekend, there is a parish insert, inviting you to consider helping us for our 12th Annual Jazz & Food Festival, which will be held on Saturday, August 1, 2020.  If you know of a business or anyone who could be a sponsor for our jazz festival, see the flyer and either give us their name and contact information or you invite them to be a sponsor for the jazz festival.  If you have any questions, please contact Janet Stern or Fr. Jim, in the parish office.

Lenten Blessings,

Fr. Jim
