The Adult Faith Formation Committee Presents: 

TOM NOBLE ON ADVENT

What is it? Why do we have it? Why is it in December? How has it changed over time? What has Santa Claus got to do with it?

This talk will be spiritual, historical, and humorous.

Sunday, November 26, 10:30AM-11:15AM in the Daily Mass Chapel.

We celebrate National Vocations Awareness Week from November 5-11. Let us unite in prayer for those who are discerning a call to imitate the humility of Christ as religious brothers, sisters, priests or deacons. Do you feel God is offering you the grace of a vocation to the priesthood or consecrated life? Call Fr. Brian Capuano at (804-359-5661) or email vocations@richmonddiocese.org. 

At the end of the week is the annual Duc in Altum Men’s Discernment Retreat, which will take place November 10-12, 2023 (Friday evening through late morning Sunday) at Roslyn Retreat Center in Richmond. This retreat, offered at no cost to participants, is open to men 18+ (out of high school) who are open to deepening their life of prayer and discernment as we answer the Lord’s call to holiness. Those attending will join clergy and seminarians for a weekend of prayer, fellowship, and reflection. Interested men can register at this link: https://richmondvocations.org/events/duc-in-altum/.

All are invited to join us on Saturday morning, November 11 for a Youth Ministry drop in at Kindness Cafe (located in the Brooks Family YMCA). Kindness Cafe employs adults with cognitive disabilities, fostering a wonderful community that celebrates how we are all created in God’s image and likeness. They are open on Saturdays from 8:00AM until 12:00PM, so drop in any time and help support this beautiful ministry! We encourage you to bring your veteran to treat them for Veterans Day! See you on 11/11!
