Fr. Jim's Jots

With the start of a New Year and the first snow storm, it sure is winter!  Stay warm and safe.  Wow, what a traffic jam on I-95 this week with our own Senator Tim Kaine stuck between Richmond and the U.S. Capitol.  I was impressed (and not surprised) that Senator Kaine chose not to have any special treatment.  Rather, he endured this weather nightmare with his fellow travelers.  He is an example of being one with the people.  Throughout the years, Anne and Tim have always been one with us.

* Our Social Justice, Parish Council and Finance Council have met or plan to meet.  We are off and running into the New Year.

* I understand the concern and about the last rise in COVID cases.  You are welcome to attend Mass via ZOOM Sunday at 9 a.m. if you or anyone in your household has health issues.  We will miss you in person, but please, your health and well-being must come first.

* Special thanks to all who helped for the celebration Mass last Sunday when Bishop Barry Knestout officially installed me as your pastor.  I pray that I will be able to do a good job and help our parish.

Blessings for the New Year,

+Fr. Jim
