EDITION 1145 Sunday, February 8, 2015 Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time

FROM THE PASTOR: I just got my report from the diocese on the annual

appeal results for St. Michael. I am proud that, with very li$le pressure from the pulpit, you have responded to that appeal and have passed the goal set for us by the diocese AGAIN!!! We have never failed to reach our goal! Thank you for that. Together with our brothers and sisters across the diocese we are making a real dierence in the lives of many people, many of whom we would not reach acting alone as a parish.

If you have been looking at The Catholic Virginian, you may be aware that about 40% of the parishes in the diocese took part in a diocesan capital campaign this year in place of the appeal. Next year we (and all the remaining parishes in the diocese) will be taking part in that campaign instead of the annual appeal. This is a much broader campaign that seeks, primarily, to establish funds that will endow activities within our diocese into the future (such as endowing a fund to provide nancial aid to those wanting to a$end our catholic schools).

I encourage you to follow the campaign in The Catholic Virginian. We will certainly be hearing more about this in the future, but meanwhile I want to thank you again for your support of the Diocesan Annual Appeal. Peace and Love, Fr. Dan

FOOD DRIVE

Thank you for bringing in your bags filled with groceries.

We appreciate your generosity.

If you are an envelope user, please pick up your boxed set in the Commons this weekend after all Masses. The parish saved over $4,000 by NOT sending them in the mail. We invite parishioners to sign up for WeShare - we would save even more!

Church Matters

QUESTION for the upcoming WEEK: The Gospel for next week, February 15, the 6th Sunday in Ordinary Time, is Mark 1:40-45 (healing of a leper). As you read the Scriptures this week, you may want to think about the following questions: Adults: Would you have the courage to tell others to do as you do in order to be a Christian? Why or why not? Children: What can you do this week to be an example to others?

From Heritage of Faith, by Jo Rotunno

Faith Formation Catechist of the Week

Our Core Team Member of the Week is Carl Baab. In his second year helping with youth ministry, Carl is working with the EDGE youth this year. He is married with three small children and a large extended family. Carl works in the banking industry and lists volunteering with the church and gaming as his interests outside of work. When asked about his favorite saint, Carl answered, any of the Thomases, who used their minds. His favorite musical artist is Tom Pe$y. A favorite vacation destination for Carl is Myrtle Beach, and a dream destination for a vacation would be Rome! When asked, what inspires you? Carl says, I love my wife Jessica. Thank you, Carl, for stepping out of your busy life to nd time to work in the faith formation ministry with our youth. God bless you and guide you!

MARRIAGE MOMENTS You have almost a week to think about how to celebrate Valentine's Day. (Luckily, it's before Lent so chocolate is

a possibility.) Better yet, choose one favor a day to surprise your beloved with.

Your love is a daily act, not just one day a year.

PARENTING POINTERS: February is Black History Month. No matter what our

skin color, religion, or economic status we need to learn to get along with people who are different from us.

As a family, learn about a race different from your own this month.

Introducing Online Giving! Our parish now

uses an Online Giving system called WeShare.

This will allow you to make your donations without writing a check each week. You can set up a recurring weekly or monthly payment, allocate dierent amounts for our dierent collections, and view complete, accurate nancial records at any time. It saves all of us time and is a win-win for our parish! Those who wish to continue to use our traditional methods of oering, including envelopes and autodraft, may do so. However, we ask that you prayerfully consider Online Giving. If you would like to enroll, please visit h"ps:/saintmikes.weshareonline.org. If you have any questions about the program or about se!ing up your account, don't hesitate to call our parish oce (804-527-1037).

Sponsors now have the opportunity to send a letter to their Haitian child. You can deposit your letter in the box in the Commons area labeled "Letters to Haiti." As usual, the mail should be no larger than a business letter and may only contain small enclosures. Family pictures or pictures colored by children are some suggestions that work well, but you can choose anything that means something to you. Please include your name and the Haitian child's name on the outside of the envelope.

ALL LETTERS ARE TO BE WRITTEN IN FRENCH. The website www.translate.google.com is a user-friendly site that will translate the document from English to French at the touch of a button. The letters will be taken by the group leaving in February. Final date for dropping off mail is February 18th (Ash Wednesday). We thank you all for your generous support of this program that has such an impact on the children of Dos Palais.

Hi, my name is Alex Phillips,

and I am working on my

Girl Scout Silver Award.

I am collecting books for

Overby-Sheppard

Elementary School. The children there often don't

have their own books. I am

lucky to have my own books,

so I want them to have the

chance to experience the joy of reading their own books, too.

I believe books can take a child to a be!er place even if their

situation isn't so great.

I would appreciate gently used or new books for ages 5 to 10.

There is a collection box in the Commons. Thank you!

Come HOME!

Weve Missed You!! If you have been thinking about becoming more active in the Church again after a time away, there is no be!er time to come back than now! LANDINGS is an eight-week program that oers a safe place to land, a place for listening and for being heard, a place for asking questions and for reconnecting with the faith as an adult. We begin the program at St. Michael the week of April 13. If you are interested, please contact Ken Feldt at (804)514-6149 or cchome@saint-mikes.org for more information. We look forward to hearing from you!!
