Second collection for the Building Fund
While not mandated by the VDH nor required by Diocesan policy, parishioners are encouraged to wear masks at Mass and other public indoor settings. Charity and kindness toward those who choose to wear a mask or not, for a variety of reasons, is of utmost importance. Note also that we have designated the upper balcony area at Crozet Baptist Church as a “masks only” seating area during Mass, although those who choose to wear a mask are not required to sit there. https://richmonddiocese.org/coronavirus/
We appreciate your continued patience and understanding, and we will keep you updated with any changes.

As we begin another school year, may it remind us that each day is a chance to have a new beginning, a chance to learn something new, and a chance to embrace our roles as sons and daughters of Christ no matter our age.
- for those struggling with a difficult decision, that Christ may light the way
- In thanksgiving for the little acts of love that surround us every day
- for the safety of all students, faculty, and staff as a new school year begins
- for healing and comfort for those suffering from cancer, and other long-term illnesses
- for protection for the most vulnerable in our society, most especially the unborn, the elderly, the poor, and the ill
- for the special intentions of the parishioners of Our Lady of the Rosary
May the peace of Christ be with you this day and every day! God bless!

Each Fall IMPACT member-churches host house meetings to begin the year of doing justice work together. The Justice Ministry at Incarnation has been a member of IMPACT since its inception and has graciously invited us to join their virtual house meetings/listening sessions in September and October.
During the meetings attendees will share their thoughts on the following two questions -
- How do you, or someone you know, struggle to live in decent, safe, accessible and affordable housing or to get children into preschool or childcare?
- How have you or your loved ones been impacted by floods, heat, pollution, mold, hunger, utility bills, or lack of transportation?
If you are interested in attending an IMPACT listening session, please contact Mary Ann Marinchick: m_marincic@comcast.net
