In order to provide more parishioners to participate in our Feasibility Study Greater Mission has posted an online survey that can be accessed using this link or QR code. The link and QR code are also on the parish website.  Include with the survey are the case statement (projects to be funded) and a gift plan, which shows a road map of how we might raise the funds.  The survey will be live for ONE WEEK ONLY–from Sunday, December 8^th to Sunday, December 15^th.  After the 15^th the results will be tabulated and included as part of the study report.  ALL responses are confidential and will only be seen and tabulated by Greater Mission.  We thank you for your participation!

We have had parishioners approach us in the past asking if there was some special project that they could assist the parish with through a gift at Christmas. The parish staff developed the list below in response to these requests. A generous donation, above and beyond your weekly giving, helps the parish and its ministries in many ways. You can partially fund one of the items as well!  

Our Parish Wishlist allows you to choose a specific item or endeavor to support. Donations made for the items listed below would be tax deductible.

Angelic Gift Tags will be ready for pick up in the Narthex starting Sunday, November 24th. You are all invited to participate in this gift drive to benefit Charlottesville area families in need of your help. 

The agencies participating in our program include: Region 10, Offender Aid & Restoration, City of Promise, and our own Parish Outreach Ministry.

Please consider taking an ornament and buying at least one of the gifts listed. This year we have added a store gift card option as one of the choices. 

Please request a gift receipt for all of your purchases and include it with your angelic gift. Please wrap the gift, tape the Angelic Gift Tag on the outside, and return your angelic gift as soon as possible, before Monday, December 16th. 

Only take an Angelic Gift Tag if you intend to donate a gift. Thank you!
