Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

January 30, 2022

Fr. Jim's Jots

 

Greetings and good wishes and prayers,

We are still looking for volunteers to help with the 2022 Jazz Festival.  Because it is a large undertaking, we need several volunteers to help in the following areas:  hiring bands, creating a schedule of events for the day, ordering food trucks, security, set-up, clean up, advertising tickets and ticket sales, sponsors, booth creation, ice-cream truck, kid zone and city permits.

Wow! A lot of work!  If we do not get volunteers to help with the 2022 Jazz Festival, we will NOT be able to host this event.  Please contact Fr. Jim or the parish office and leave a message if you are interested: jarsenault@richmonddiocese.org or 804-329-4599.  To date, we have 1 person who has offered to help.

Thanks for all your help with your donations.  With our attendance down at both in-person Masses (9 and 11:15 a.m.) on Sundays and our increase in attendance on ZOOM (9 a.m.) Mass, we thank you for your online donations.  Your generosity during this difficult time sure is needed and helpful.

Thanks to Deacon Chris and his group of about 18 parishioners who are helping our parish group tackle the parish worldwide Catholic Church Synod.  Please see the handout for my letter and more details.  We need everyone's input to participate in the Synod.

Blessings for the New Year.

Fr. Jim
