Rosary and S’mores Fun

Get to know our new priests Sundays, July 10th, 17th, 24th, and 31st St. James of the Valley Rectory, 7:00-9:00pm

Come and chat, pray a rosary and eat s’mores with Fr. Alex McCullough, Fr. Jeff Stegbauer, or Fr. Roberto Becerra Reyes. This is a wonderful opportunity to meet new faces and get to know our priests better as we transition into a new parish family. Bring a chair and a rosary to the fire pit next to the St. James Rectory at 411 Springfield Pike. If you would like to sign up to bring s’more supplies, go to https://bit.ly/5Sundays.

Holy grounds: Coffee with Fr. Stegbauer

After three daily Masses in July, Fr. Stegbauer will not rush off to work, but will settle down with coffee. He will be content to sip his coffee along with some spiritual reading. However, he will always joyfully welcome any company. Anyone who wishes to say hi, get to know him, talk to him about whatever is on your heart, or hear about what he is reading, then please stop by!

  • Thursday, 7/7, after the St. James 8:15am Mass, he will be at Wyoming Community Coffee, 434 Springfield Pike.
  • Monday, 7/11, after the OLV 8:30am Mass, he will be at Bitter Sweet, 1001 Jefferson Avenue in Reading.
  • Wednesday, 7/27, after the OLR 8:15am Mass, he will be in the OLR office living room.

Father will be in all locations until 10:30am.

The Holy Father’s Prayer Intention for July

We pray for the elderly, who represent the roots and memory of a people; may their experience and wisdom help young people to look towards the future with hope and responsibility
