The Knights of Columbus are sponsoring a youth
scholastic essay and poster contest. The theme for the
contest is, "The Importance of Religious Freedom."
Winners will be selected at the council, district, state,
national and international levels. Entries must be
received by October 28th. Please see the contest link
on the www.kofc8600.org website or email

"Faith is not a light which scatters all our darkness,
but a lamp which guides our steps in the night and
suffices for the journey. To those who suffer, God does
not provide arguments which explain everything;
rather, his response is that of an accompanying presence, a history of goodness which touches every story
of suffering and opens up a ray of light."
("Lumen Fidei," June 29, 2013)

Ushers Wanted
Are you looking for a way to participate in the mass with your family, maybe even gain service hours? We are looking for a few more
ushers for all masses and a few people available for substitutions.
Ushers serve one Mass per month, the same weekend every
month. This is a vital ministry and an opportunity to participate in
the Mass. If you are interested, please contact Joe Osborne at

helping.
Let us pray for confidence in the abiding presence and goodness
which God will always provide to his children when they suffer.

Hypothermia Prevention Shelter 2015
Do You Need A Walker or Cane?
It is time to start planning for our week of hosting the Hypothermia
Prevention Shelter, January 18 - 24, 2015. During this important and rewarding ministry, we open our doors so that people who
have nowhere to sleep at night can come inside to avoid dangerous
freezing temperatures. We feed them a warm dinner, welcome
them with evening services and activities, watch over them all night,
feed them breakfast, and send them off with bagged lunches to take
with them for the day. All this takes a lot of volunteers, especially
if we get storms and keep the guests during the day, as we did last
year. One of our lessons learned from last year is that we need a
Volunteer Coordinator to help organize and recruit volunteers.
Many of you have told us you feel blessed to have served in this
ministry. If you can help coordinate volunteers, please contact
Anita Keeler and Mary Jo O'Connell, at [email protected]
or Carol Mayfield at [email protected].
A parishioner has offered the donation of wheeled walkers, one
standard walker and one HurryCane to be given to individuals who
are in need of the item(s) and are financially unable to afford
them. Please call St. Mary’s at 703-978-4141, x19 to inquire.
Would the winner of the Gabriel Project Baby Shower tea basket
please stop in the Parish Office. The prize had two parts.
We Need More Helpers!
We would not be able to maintain our food pantry ministry without
our dedicated volunteers. As the school year begins and students
and their families are considering community service, why not
think about helping with Saint Mary’s food pantry? Maybe you
would like to help get brown bags ready for distribution, or to
spend some time some Sunday afternoon re-stocking the pantry, or
to pack food for distribution to organizations or a family. Students
and families need service opportunities and we need volunteers.
It’s a match made in heaven! No prior experience is necessary!
