Is God Calling YOU??
“God doesn’t call the qualified, He qualifies the called.”
As we begin to gear up for Religious Education this fall,
we are always looking for people who are willing to help
lead our young children and teens in passing on the
faith! Do you have a little extra free time and are trying to
figure out how to fill it in a positive way? Do you want to
give back to your parish?? Consider being a part of our
faith community in the role of Catechist (head teacher) or
aide. Our elementary classrooms typically consist of 2
catechists and 2 aides so that all involved still have flexibility and don’t have to be present at every class. We offer free childcare so anyone who is interested in helping
has the opportunity! Please prayerfully consider the call
to be a catechist! It does not mean you have to be an expert in our faith, just willing to share your with our young
ones who are just beginning to develop their own!! Catechist training will begin late August.
Please contact Valerie for more information.

540-434Seminarian Dillon Bruce will be leaving us after this
weekend to prepare to resume his studies at St. John
Paul II College Seminary in Washington, DC. It’s been
great having him and we wish him well in his studies and

great having you!
Our 10:00 Sunday morning nursery is still looking for a
few teens/adults who might be interested in helping out
about 1x a month in the nursery. It is a great way to serve
in a ministry that helps our young families to fully worship
during mass. If you might be interested in helping out,
please contact Valerie.
RE registration packets have been mailed out. If you did
not receive one, you may not be registered in the parish
(which is different than registered for RE). Please contact
the office so we can get you registered and get a packet
to you. You can also go to our parish website and follow
the online giving info to register for RE online.
PARISH COUNCIL DISCERNMENT: We will be needing
a few new members for our Parish Pastoral Council. We
are looking for active, committed Catholics in good standing. If you are interested or wish to suggest someone for
this ministry, please contact Carlos Briones at 540-4405061, [email protected]; or Vicki FawcettAdams, 540-896-3417, [email protected], or Bob
Tennyson, 540-828-6564, [email protected].
Confirmation: If your teen was confirmed this past May 30,
we would like to get them their certificate and make sure we
have the right information in our sacramental register.
Please email or call Martha at the office (mmoyers@bsccva;
434-4341 ext. 109) with your child’s name, birthdate and
place, parents’ names, date and place of baptism, and
name of Confirmation sponsor. Thank you!
HOUSEKEEPING DETAILS!
YAM (Young Adult Ministry) is meeting weekly on
Wednesdays at 8-9 pm in the library for our summer study
group. Come join us this Wednesday as we continue our
journey through the covenants of the Bible. The study will
end August 12.
Please DO NOT bring your own votive candles to use in
front of the statues in the small chapel. They melt all over
and the wax has to be dug out with a knife. It’s also a fire
hazard. Please use the candles provided. Thank you!

Photo Directories have arrived! We’ve given lots of them
out, but we still have some of the free directories for those
who had an 8 x 10 picture taken. If you didn’t have a photo taken, or want extra copies, they may be purchased at
$20 per copy. They contain the entire parish roster as well
as the photos of those who chose to have a picture made.
Pick up yours today! We will have them available after
mass through this weekend in the hallway by the elevator.
and in the office during office hours after that.
The Food Pantry can always use help with unloading &
stocking on Mondays from 9:00 am to Noon. We also will
need additional people to staff 3 hour shifts serving clients
when our volunteers who are teachers return to classes in
late August.
The Council of Catholic Women is sponsoring a Fall Bazaar on Saturday, September 19. We invite anyone who
has a product to sell to participate. We know that we have
many talented parishioners who produce arts and crafts
who would like the opportunity to sell them. Or if you are in
the business of selling a product from your home, like cosmetics, jewelry, Amway, etc, you are welcome. Parish
groups, that would like to raise money, can work together
to produce a product for sale.
If you can help, please contact Barb Warns
([email protected]/540 564 2515) or Peggy Zeh
([email protected] 540 432 1278).
FRIENDSHIP HOUSE is looking for help. We provide the
space and a work crew; various area churches provide the
food on a rotating schedule. We are looking for people to
be part of our work crew, which involves set up, serving,
and clean up Thursday mornings. Maximum time commitment, 4 hours per month. Call Nancy Fine-McCann at 540896-6439 or email [email protected]
Spaces will be available for $50. For more information

possibly interested, in joining the Catholic Church. The first
several meetings are for inquiry or seeking information

Deacon Paul at the church office (extension 102 if you need
to leave an after hours message). You can also email him
at [email protected].

donation could help save a life! Knights of Columbus together with Virginia Blood Services, holds blood drives the
3rd Sunday of odd months. Next one will be September
20th.
TWIN PARISH IN HAITI MINISTRY
Two Haiti student sponsors needed: The Haiti Ministry
has two young Haitian students who are in need of tuition
sponsors in order to attend St. Bernadette's School this
year. Student tuition sponsorships are $25/month and can
most easily be paid by using the parish online giving option
on the parish website. If you, your family or group would
like to become a sponsor or find out more information regarding our students, please contact Marilyn Turner at 540574-6065 or [email protected]. Thank you for
your consideration.
