St. Joan of Arc Catholic Church

TWO-HUNDRED YEARS OF LIVING AND GIVING

For two-hundred years the Catholic Church has been planted in the soil of human hearts as the Diocese of Richmond. This year is the Bicentennial celebration of the Diocese. So many beautiful plans to celebrate have been curbed by the dangers of the physical Covid19 pandemic. But, as usual, your supernatural spiritual core, Christ Jesus, enlivens you in faithful worship, Sacrament and Service nonetheless.

The coming week, beginning Sunday September 27, will be marked with several beautiful and powerful possibilities for your Catholic core to shine in union with many others throughout the Diocese of Richmond.

Please, review the following Bicentennial doors to step through this coming week. No one can step through them but you, whether a youth, an adult with children or single, or a senior person. These opportunities only gain power when your human heart engages them. There are chances for prayer, worship, charitable giving, charitable service, and any personal works that you dream of and implement yourself or with your family.

Stations of the Cross

Divine Mercy Holy Hour of Praise and Worship The Giving of Alms The giving of alms is one way to share God’s gifts not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents. St. John Chrysostom reminds us: “Not to enable the poor to share in our goods is to steal from them and deprive them of life.  The goods we possess are not ours, but theirs.”   (CCC 2446)
