Here are the highlights for the upcoming week and beyond:
- This weekend, our 2nd collection is for CASH RESERVE. Your donation will help fund the repair that is needed for the Chapel (roughly $25,000 and currently we have just over half of that). Any help is truly a blessing.
- Christmas in July is back. Please see page 9 for details on approved gift items for the Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women. The donation box is in the entrance to the church.
- There will be a Catechist Gathering for those returning catechists, new catechists, or those who are interested in helping our younger parishioners grow in their faith, on Saturday, July 27th from 9-12, hosted at Sts. Peter and Paul. Catechists, assistant catechist and helpers are needed for the upcoming year and this is the perfect opportunity to get your foot in the door.
- Come eat at IHOP on Sunday, July 28th from 4pm – 7pm for a CHIU fundraiser. Let them know when you order that you are there for CHIU and 20% goes to CHIU. You can order it to-go as well.
