FR. JIM'S JOTS
Greetings!!
How good is it to be back in Richmond!
Last week my jot featured our census numbers from the 2023 and 2024 fiscal years. According to our reports, our church has grown in numbers with 70 new individuals registered since last year. Wow! As our parish grows so does the need for our ministries. We have over 25 ministries at our parish that support our church and neighboring community through stewardship, outreach, unity, fellowship, education, youth programs, worship and so much more. Whether you are interested in helping during or outside of Mass, there is a ministry that would benefit from your talents and skills! On September 8th, you will get to meet all of our ministry leaders after both Sunday Masses and speak to them about the work their ministry does. (Enjoy a cup of coffee and a doughnut too!) If you are not already involved in a ministry, please consider joining one and further contribute to the life of our parish!
Erin Cleary, who has been working as our Assistant Director of Religious Education for the past year and a half is leaving our office as she has gotten a new position at an accounting firm in Richmond. During her time with us, Erin has worked on our grant applications, social outreach, teaching, assisting with coordinating our religious education programs, and more. The community of St. Elizabeth and I thank Erin for her wonderful work with us and wish her well at her new position.
