EPIPHANY HOME BLESSINGS
We will be giving Epiphany home blessings beginning on the Vigil of the Epiphany, Jan. 5. Please sign up on the sheet at the back of the chapel if you wish to have your home blessed. We will try to bless every home, but if necessary, homes previously blessed can have their blessing renewed by the head of household with the family. (See the Rite for the Blessing of a Home booklet in the back of the chapel, or print your own here in English or Spanish.)
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO HELP PREPARE FOR MASS
We still need a few more volunteers to help set up the altar before Mass during the week. This involves arriving ~30 minutes before Mass to set up the altar linens. Please sign up for a twice-a-month turn in the back of the chapel.

We are exploring the formation of our own KofC organization. To determine feasability and form, we need to know how many men (aged 18 years and up) are interested. Any Knight or man interested please contact Dave Grothaus at (703)772-3657 or [email protected].
