Twenty-sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time

FATHER JIM'S JOTS

Greetings!

I would like to invite everyone to the concert that our Gospel Choir is holding to celebrate their 47th Anniversary!  It will be later today in the church at 4 p.m.  There will also be music performed by our Swahili Umoja Choir, the choirs of Holy Rosary and St. Bridget Catholic Churches, and The Chapel.  There will be a light reception in the Parish Hall afterwards.  Congrats to the Choir!

I am encouraging everyone who is interested to sign up for the Catholic Funeral Planning Seminar next Sunday.  We need to estimate how many people are planning on attending to make sure there will be enough materials and refreshments for everyone.  To sign up, call Eva in the Parish Office (804-329-4599 ext.10) or send her an email (evabalkarli@stelizcc.org).  This is a free seminar and lead by Maggie Keenan, Director of Planned Giving for Catholic Community Foundation of the Diocese of Richmond.  The information provided in the seminar will be helpful for Wills, Trusts, Catholic Advanced Medical Directives, Catholic Funeral Mass & Burial Planning and Guardianship.  I encourage you to attend and sign-up today!

Lastly, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the Haiti collection last Sunday.  The total collected was $788.00.  These funds will be used to support our twinning partner organization, Beyond Borders.  Thank you for your prayers and financial support!

Blessings,

Fr. Jim, Pastor
