“You Need To Know” - Latest Happenings

  • This is the last weekend to purchase raffle tickets for one of our two Incarnation timeshares in Williamsburg or Shenandoah Crossings. Tickets will be on sale after all of the Masses this weekend and are $10 apiece or 3 for $25.
  • This is the final “First Communion” weekend and we ask all parishioners to pray for the dozens of Incarnation youth receiving this Sacrament for the first time.
  • Our annual Incarnation “Hunger Knows No Vacation” food drive will be held the weekend of June 7 & 8. Parishioners can sign up this weekend after Mass to invite grocery shoppers to make extra purchases at several grocery stores and to deliver the food to area Food Banks. Please plan to participate in this fun, family-friendly service opportunity that can help fill the shelves of local Food Banks during the summer months when donations are scarce. Questions? Contact parishioner Buz Goforth, Food Drive Coordinator, at 409-6559.
