FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings,

I would like to thank everyone who has participated in the raffle so far!  We have handed out almost 2000 tickets and so far, have received $2,380.  Thank you for your generosity.  To learn about how you can get more raffle tickets, please see this bulletin.

 I encourage all of us to reflect on how we can continue to embrace the teachings of Christ and His Church.  Our Parish holds Exposition and Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament on the First Friday of every month.  We pray the rosary as a group every night on Zoom at 7 p.m. (visit the E-Bulletin to get the link to join).  In September, we will be taking a Pilgrimage to the Basilica of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception to learn more about the oldest parish community in the Catholic Diocese of Richmond and enrich our faith as Pilgrims of Hope. To join us, click the link in this bulletin or call the Parish Office.

Consider joining one of our many ministries that work to support our community during our Sunday Liturgies and in our neighborhood every day.

St. Elizabeth has the following Ministries:

Want to learn about the work that each ministry does?

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
