THIRD SUNDAY OF EASTER

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!!

Congratulations to Lauren and Tim on the Baptism of their two daughters. Luna and Phoenix were born on July 5th, last year.  Congratulations to both girls on receiving this special Sacrament!  If you are interested in having your child baptized, please contact me.  I can be reached at my email jarsenault@richmonddiocese.org or my cell, (804)-221-1508.

Thank you to all of those who helped with our 2nd Annual Easter Egg Hunt! We had such a wonderful attendance and all of the children had so much fun.  Special thanks to Erin Cleary who coordinated the event, including stuffing the eggs and setting up the games and treats.  There are some pictures of the children and their treats during the hunt in the bulletin.

On April 28th, after the 10 a.m. Mass, we will have a Parish Luck. To celebrate all the people and different cultures that make up our wonderful Parish, please bring a dish that is important to you.  Maybe a family recipe or a dish from your culture.  To sign up you can visit the link or scan the QR code that is on the other page of the bulletin.  

We are starting our Home Mission Grant process again.  This is a grant we get from the Diocese to assist with improvement and maintenance projects.  In 2022, we replaced the floor in the vestibule.  In 2023, we replaced the sound system.  This year we are planning on updating the bathrooms in the Parish Hall.  We are looking for a volunteer who would like to assist us with getting 3 bids from different contractors. If this is something that you would be interested in, please contact me.  Note that this must be completed before May 12th.

Easter Blessings to you and yours,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
