Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings, 

I want to say thank you to the children who participated in our rescheduled celebrations of Catholic Schools Week.  We had originally planned to do this on Jan. 25th but we cancelled due to the snow.  We have over 20 children in our parish who attend Catholic schools in Richmond.  Are you interested in enrolling your child in a Catholic school?  Our parish partners with All Saints Catholic School and Cristo Rey Richmond High School, please visit their websites or speak to our Religious Education Director, Liz Wiznerowitz (religioused@stelizcc.org).

Lent starts on Wednesday, February 18th with Ash Wednesday.  Please see the Lent callendar that is in this bulletin to stay up to date with all of the events our Parish has planned.  There is Stations of the Cross every Friday (except Feb. 27th and Good Friday); and throughout the 40 days leading up to Easter, Confessions, Adoration and more!  You can also visit our website at stelizcc.org/events/ to see our live calendar.

We have a variety of Black History Month events planned for the month of February.  If you did not get the flyer in last Sunday's bulletin, please see the flyer on the kiosk by the front doors or in th E-bulletin.

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
