DID YOU KNOW… you can take home holy water
for use in your Domestic Church? Bring a clean
container and stop by when the parish office is open or
after each of the masses to let the office staff (if during
the week) or the prayer leader for your mass know.
They can fill the container in the sacristy for you.

Opportunity for parishioners to join a pilgrimage
to the Holy Land
Fr. Walter Lewis of St. John Neumann Catholic
Church in Powhatan is organizing a pilgrimage to
the Holy Land for January, 2017. Fr. Kevin Irwin,
professor at Catholic University will accompany the
group as a scholar-on-tour. This is an extraordinary
time of the year to travel to the Holy Land. Crowds
are much thinner, allowing groups to have more
access and time at places of great historical and
religious significance. The program includes
accommodations at 4-star hotels, including the
historic and enchanting Notre Dame Center in
Jerusalem. If you’ve ever wanted to go the Holy
Land, this is a unique and unparalleled opportunity
to join two great pastoral leaders for a thoughtful
and rich program. Visit the following website for
program details and registration:
www.travelillume.com/trc/yzp or call Illume at
800-368-6757 x 128.
