Here are the highlights for the upcoming week and beyond:
- And just like that, August is here!
- With great sadness I announce the passing of Warren Rose from St. Joseph’s. His funeral Mass will be at Sts. P & P on Friday, August 9th at 10am, proceeded by the Rosary at 9:30am. There will not be a 9am Mass, adoration or benediction that day. Please keep the Rose family in your prayers.
- There will NOT be a monthly bake sale for August but it will return for September. We are looking for bakers and parishioners to help with sales on the first full weekend of every month. Please contact Sue Scott (434.591.1205) if you are able to help. Remember, the funds go to provide assistance in the community.
- First Saturday Mass and Rosary will occur tomorrow, August 3rd at 10am.
