BICENTENNIAL PRAYER OF THE DIOCESE OF RICHMOND
(1820–2020)
Father of lights, the radiance of your Son has guided the advance of the Gospel across the Diocese of Richmond for two centuries, strengthening our Church from the Eastern Shore to the Cumberland Gap. Grant that the nearness of your Son may dispel the darkness of our sins, so that as our love increases more and more, we may dare, more than ever to fearlessly proclaim the word. Holding fast to the word of life, may we shine like stars in the world.We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen

Reopening of our churches
The Catholic Diocese of Richmond has released this guide(click below) so we can begin to prepare for what re-opening of our churches may look like. All guidelines of the CDC will be implemented thus it will not appear like business as usual.
Because we have both the fellowship hall and the main church our parish may be in a better position to facilitate a social distancing Mass.

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. Paul A. Jones |
