Knights, family members and parishioners will be singing Christmas carols in the neighborhood around SJTB on the Sunday before and after Christmas. The carolers will head out at 7pm and return about an hour later. Help is needed to lead small groups and to prepare a snack for the carolers upon their return to PPH. If you’re available to assist, please contact Leo Carling (540-631-7555).

Support the Prison Ministry in Warren County
Approximately 200 men and women incarcerated in the RSW Regional Jail are released every year. These people need models of Christianity to help them return to the community as worthy citizens. A few hours of your time could make a permanent difference in their lives. They need guidance and practical support to obtain basic aspects of life (e.g. clothing, a place to live, work and transportation arranged by Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington) as well as mentorship. If you are interested in learning more, visit the Diocese’s Prison Ministry website or contact Keith Henderson (571-236-2878, henderson.keith01@gmail.com).
Upcoming Events
Mark your calendar and reach out to the Council’s POC to offer your assistance. No POC? If you’re called to do so, please step up.
