 Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time 

July 31, 2022

Father Jim's Jots

Greetings!

Last week I shared with you that we as Catholics in the United States are in a special Three-Year National Eucharistic Revival.  At Saint Elizabeth, we are reviving our efforts to bring Holy Communion to the homebound.  If you would like to either receive Communion or join our team of ministers who bring the Blessed Sacrament to those wishing to receive, please contact me or Deacon Chris.

Other ways we might experience a personal revival of the Eucharist is to attend our weekday Masses on occasion or even with frequency.  We celebrate Mass on Wednesday and Fridays at 12 noon.  It's the best way to turn to God in the middle of the day.

Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, Peg Baker was able to purchase almost 30 packs of water and Gatorade, along with sandwich meat and apples.  She and a team of volunteers from RVA for the Homeless assembled 60 lunches.  These lunches were distributed on July 25th.  Still, there are many continuing needs.  To learn how you can help, call Peg at 540-226-1828 or see her after Mass.

+ Fr. Jim Arsenault, Pastor
