9:00 a.m. -10:00 a.m. to pray the Rosary at the abortion mill at Boulevard and Grove in

Richmond. This is an important witness to the sanctity of human life and can often convince

a mother to preserve the life of her child. Those parishioners who have been there can

testify to the efficaciousness of their prayer. For additional information, call Patrick Latimer

MASS INTENTION REQUESTS

Envelopes are located outside the parish office door. Masses

are generally offered in the order received. A Mass stipend is a

participation in the sacrifice. The Diocese of Richmond

suggests a stipend of $10.00 per Mass. While a stipend is not a

donation, for our convenience, please make checks payable to

St. Joseph’s. Please designate cash or check on the envelope.

Rosary Procession, Sunday, Sept. 8th

the High Mass. We have so much to pray

for! Also, please plan on participating in a

pot-luck afterward. Details t.b.a.

Parish Library The library door is always open, and the check-out card system (by the window) is very easy to use.

Knights of Columbus Day Saturday Sept.7th . Come for a morning of good works

and fraternity! We will start with a Rosary at the

Abortion Clinic (Boulevard and Grove) 9:00am to Pray

for the Children, Mothers, staff, and the helpers holding

the 'Clinic Support' sign. Special Holy Sacrifice of the

Mass 10:30 at St. Josephs. Followed by a Picnic in the

Pavilion. All Knights and their Families are invited as

well as anyone interested in joining the

Knights. Widows of Knights and their Families will be

warmly welcomed as well.

Isn’t studying the Bible a Protestant thing? It may seem so, but it should not be true. The New Testament was written by Catholics, for Catholics! Since no one is born with knowledge of Sacred Scripture, (and no, Baptism doesn’t give it to us either), this knowledge is acquired only by work. So, if we want to be good Catholics, we have two choices: we can do this work on our own, or we can do this work with a group. There are no other choices. For those who wish to do this work in a group, we have the group for you! Our next course will again be taught by Jeff Cavins, again be lead by the priests, and will again be on Wednesday evenings, and Thursday mornings. The Gospel of Matthew: The King and His

Kingdom. Classes begin Oct. 2, and 3. Binders

(with all the relative lecture notes, and homework

lessons) will be on sale in the coming weeks.

Altar Boy Practices this FALL

Please note on your calendar that the Altar Boys

will meet on the 1st Saturday of the month in

Sept., Oct., Nov., and Dec. Normal meetings begin

with Holy Mass at 9am and end with a game which

finishes at 1:30pm. Thank you.
