Have you ever felt overwhelmed taking your children to Mass? Perhaps you have worried about disturbing other parishioners, or felt so busy keeping up with them that you aren’t sure you heard a word of the homily?

We invite you to join us Sunday, April 14 after the 9:00AM Mass in the PAC for a talk on “Helping Your Child Stay Regulated at Mass.”

Cynthia Drury is a licensed pediatric occupational therapist with a private practice in Charlottesville. This talk is geared toward parents of toddlers through elementary-aged children interested in practical strategies to help their families feel more calm, confident, and engaged at Mass.

Childcare will be available in the Nursery during Cynthia’s talk.

Join us on Sunday, April 14th to help raise money for property improvement!

The projects to be accomplished this year are: tree root removal, repairing the playground, painting the PAC/Stone Chapel, and much more! 

This event will be from 2:30-4:30PM in front of the Church Gardens.

There will be fun and food (tacos, fresh corn/elotes, churros, hot dogs, cotton candy, shaved ice) and even raffle tickets!

If you have any questions, please contact the Social Labor Ministry: Ofelia Abundio, Leo Garcia, Carlos Trejo, and Luci Martinez.

In response to interest in the parish, the Pastoral Council has established a Community Life Committee.

Whenever His people gather, they gather in reverence and joy.

There is a great deal of interest in welcoming people into that reverence and joy when we gather sacramentally, and in sharing that reverence and joy with each other by gathering more often socially.

The Community Life Committee will be suggesting and introducing opportunities for these things to happen in the near future. Look for a Community Life table after the Masses to find out more, and to find out how you can help.

For those who would like to contact the Community Life Committee, please email Patti Clifford.

Guest speaker and author, Mike Pietrzyk, gave a fabulous presentation about one of the most famous pieces of cloth in history–The Shroud of Turin!
