Scam Alert

Hits: 42

IMG 3190Father Patrick made an announcement at last weekend's masses warning parishioners of fraudulent emails circulating in his name asking for personal contributions to him. He also informed the congregation that in the Diocese of Richmond Priests are not permitted to solicit for any type of personal gain and to disregard these emails. This past week it was posted on Facebook that another Faith is also being targeted with this same scam. Please be alert. Our parishioners are so generous and giving many will readily respond to such requests. Please share this information.

Just a note........Be assured we do NOT post Parishioner  emails on our website but as we know it is easy to access this information from other sources.

FYI Facebook Posting

Churchgoers whose contact information might be listed on their church website, please be wary of any email that appears to be from your pastor, asking for gift cards. This notice just went out from the Presbytery of Eastern Virginia:

"Please be aware of an email scam that has hit a couple of churches in our Presbytery this week. In one church, a fraudulent email account (Gmail) was created in the pastor’s name soliciting gift cards. It appears that the church members contacted with the fraudulent email were listed on the church’s website. Their data base and email accounts were not hacked. Unfortunately, several members fell for the scam and lost several hundreds of dollars. A similar situation occurred in another church in our Presbytery. The scam has been reported to Gmail and the FBI Cyber Division. Please share this information with your staff and congregation asap."

Jesus Calms Water 

Jesus Calms Our Waters

In our lives, there are moments, when only Jesus can stop our torments. Those daily struggles that burden the soul, He comes to us and makes us whole.

Oh Jesus, calm the winds of fear we hide. Smooth the waves of greed and pride.Calm our storms of anger and hate.

Calm the storms that dim our sight, that block the path to your wonderful light. Calm the storms that lead us to sin. Give us courage, peace and love within.

Let us be a witness to those we meet, the rich, the poor, the stangers on the street. Let us serve them in this great land, for they too may have storms at hand.

Until our dying day, until we finally rest, help us rise each day and do our very best. Before the rains wash our strength away. Calm our storms Lord, each and every day.
