MISSION:  Help FAMILIES!

There is really no need to remind you of the frigid conditions we faced as the New Year got underway.  We know your energy bills will be much higher than normal, and pray that your household can absorb the ‘sticker-shock.’

Pray for those who have been living in poorly heated/poorly insulated/drafty homes. Imagine wearing your coat indoors, all day and all night.  Imagine not having enough blankets to keep your children from shivering all night long.

 If you are able, consider a small donation that will help us help them weather this storm.

 We will most gratefully share your generosity. 

St. Vincent de Paul needs your help

Remember, you may make a donation of unused household items and gently-worn clothing to St. Vincent de Paul at the White Elephant Store located at 484 Blackwell Rd, Warrenton, VA 20186  (540) 349-0666.  Income from the sale of these items directly benefits our ministry.  Thank you for thinking of us as you clear out closets and storage spaces!

Volunteers Needed:  We welcome any and all who are interested in growing in faith and love of Our Lord through service to those in need. No prior experience required! Contact Jim Gannon for details. 540-522-4449 or gannon54@comcast.net.

Please pray for the poor and suffering.

The Arlington Diocese Office of Vocations presents

Vocations

Discernment:

"To know your vocation: ask God in prayer; ask one's spiritual director; ask oneself, knowing one's own inclinations."

 - St. Gianna Molla

Click on the logos to visit the Diocesan Vocational pages.

"Quo Vadis" means "Where are you going?" 

and its members are young men in high school who desire to grow in faithful discipleship and personal holiness to be better able to discover their own vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that might be.

''FIAT'' is a Latin word for 'Let it be done'.

It was Mary's response to the angel Gabriel when she was asked to become the mother of Jesus. 'Let it be done unto me according to Your Will' refers to Mary's 'Yes' to God. The members of FIAT are young women in high school who desire to grow in faithful discipleship by modeling their personal holiness on that of our Lady. By doing so they hope to be better able to discover their own vocation invitation from our Lord, whatever that might be and make their own "fiat" or "yes" to Him.

Faith Direct is an excellent and easy way to support the parish while reducing the administrative costs of envelopes and saving our wonderful staff and volunteer’s precious time.

To enroll in the Faith Direct program you may pick up an enrollment form in the parish office or enroll online at www.faithdirect.net using our church code VA99.

Thank you for your generosity!
