FR. JIM'S JOTS

Happy New Year and may the Lord bless you and your family and friends with good health and a peaceful 2023 year.

The Office of Black Catholics for the Diocese of Richmond has appointed a new Director, Fr. Tochi Iwuji.  His email is tiwuji@richmonddiocese.org. Fr. Tochi started this assignment January 1, 2023.  We give thanks for Msgr. Walter Barrett who came out of retirement and was the Director of the Office of Black Catholics during this interim period.

A Day of Reflection will be held on March 18, 2023 at St. Michael the Archangel Catholic Church in Glen Allen.  The day of reflection will be facilitated by Sr. Cora Marie Billings.  The Office of Black Catholics is inviting African American and African Immigrant parishioners to participate in this Diocesan Day of Reflection.  If you are interested, please contact the Office of Black Catholics at 804-622-5241 or email obc@richmonddiocese.org.

We need your help.  If you have not registered with the parish, please do so.  There are purple folders in the back of church with registration forms and other helpful registration information.  Also, if you have moved, changed emails or added a child to your home, please contact the parish office with updated information.

Blessings in 2023,

Fr. Jim Arsenault

Pastor
