- The Knights of Columbus is teaming up with CHIU to put on a Talent Show and Dinner. Saturday, August 19, 2023 is the date to reserve. The talent is local and slots are filled. The Knights need to know how much food to buy so please, sign up on the sheet in the Commons or contact Bob Maher at 434.589.1170 or [email protected]. There is no fee but donations are requested. The funds raised from this event will help buy medications for the next medical mission to Uganda and pay for the doctors and nurses that will be helping during the mission at St. Anthony’s in Mitala Maria this January.
- Coming soon: August is National “Make a Will” month!
St. Joseph’s News:

- See the bulletin for details on our next anniversary event.
- CCD registration begins on Sunday, August 6th. See Celeste after Mass.

Peace and blessings for a joyful and safe weekend!
