UPCOMING EVENTS AND PARISH ANNOUNCEMENTS
Parish Staff Updates
In the past few months, our parish staff has experienced several transitions. Joe Lenich, our Music Minister, retired at the end of January. Joyce Park, the Assistance to the Pastor, resigned because her family moved to Northern Virginia. Teresa Lee was selected by Bishop Knestout to become the Director of Christian Formation for the Diocese of Richmond.
In addition to these transitions, our parish has been reviewing the evolution of our staffing needs, especially in these ‘post-COVID’ days. Like most organizations and businesses, our parish learned a great deal during COVID, and we have identified new areas of ministry which require staffing attention.

Caritas Survey
CARITAS has completed the 
construction of its new building and now offers facilities and services to support both men and women experiencing homelessness and/or substance use disorders. As a result of this and the lifting of some COVID restrictions, volunteer opportunities are growing and changing. The Human Concerns Committee would like to increase our involvement with CARITAS, but before we commit to anything, we want to determine the amount of interest parishioners have in each of the activities under consideration.
Please CLICK HERE to complete a CARITAS interest survey to let us know how you would like to be involved.
Endowment Fund
The Endowment Fund was established to provide perpetual funds for people in need of food, clothing, shelter, or health services. These funds are disbursed annually to non-profit organizations, either providing these direct services to people or working to promote social justice. The funds should be used for people who reside within the parish or its diocese and must be re-applied for each year.

Divorce Care Ministry
Are you or a friend or family member experiencing the stress of a divorce? Our parish is currently gauging the need and interest in offering a Divorce Support Group later in 2022 to provide an emotional, social, and spiritual setting to provide support, find hope and healing, strengthen coping, and to rebuild and begin to move forward.
To ask questions or express interest (all confidential) contact Chris Jenkins, LCSW, at the Parish Offices at [email protected] or at 804-740-4044 x016.
