Lenten Retreat - Saturday, Feb 21, 2-5 p.m.
God’s Plan: Reconciliation and Joy! What is God Up to
in My Life? Robert Feduccia will be with us to reflect on
our call to follow Jesus more closely this Lent. So consider
what you are doing this Lent to set time aside for Jesus. Say
“yes” to this invitation. Robert combines his unique set of
experiences as a parish youth minister, retreat leader, and
keynote presenter with his graduate degree in theology, and
is able to express spiritual depth in ways that are relevant
to real concerns we face today. He enjoys opportunities
to draw people into a relationship with the Lord and the
Church. He lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife and 4
children. Mark your calendars and join others in the parish
as we consider the path to “Come back to Me, With All Your
Heart.” We ask you to sign up in the Commons or email
Cass Hooker at [email protected].

Diversity Circles - Beginning this Lent
We have been invited to join, this Lent, with 4 other faith
communities in the city of Hampton's Circles of Diversity.
Those who have participated in the past have often said
that it was one of the most meaningful experiences. Please
stop by the table in the Commons to sign up or if you have
questions about the program. Milton McDonald is serving
as one of the coordinators. We are still in need of another
coordinator, 3 facilitators and 20 participants to join with
our brothers and sisters across Hampton Roads to learn
more about one another and share our common humanity.
Sunday Suppers Update
“Many hands make the load lighter” (a Haitian proverb)
applies here. Thanks to the generosity of time, talent and
treasure, we continue to provide a place of community and
nourishment for the guests of our Sunday Suppers. Last
Sunday (1/25) we served 139 people. There are a number of
ways that you can serve in this ministry. We need folks to:
make phone calls, set up, cook, greet and register our guests,
eat and fellowship with Sunday Supper diners, clean up, read
to the children, clean the dish towels, make donations, etc.
Please stop by the Sunday Supper Table in the Commons
and see how you can be part of this very rewarding ministry.

Social Ministry Quote of the Week
“…the only way is to learn how to encounter others with the
right attitude… is to accept and esteem them as companions
along the way, without interior resistance. Better yet, it means
learning to find Jesus in the faces of others, in their voices…
There indeed we find true healing… a fraternal love capable
of seeing the sacred grandeur of our neighbor, of finding
God in every human being, of tolerating the nuisances of life
in common by clinging to the love of God, of opening the
heart to divine love and seeking the happiness of others just
as their heavenly Father does. . . . Let us not allow ourselves
to be robbed of community!”
- Pope Francis Evangelii Gaudium
