Support for our diocesan community in Southwest Virginia

Bishop Barry C. Knestout is encouraging support for our diocesan community in Southwest Virginia, the Diocese of Charlotte, and the Diocese of Knoxville in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene.

Brotherhood of Catholic Men - Online Catechism Study

ALL are welcome to participate in an online Catechism Study
Join The Brotherhood of Catholic Men as each day we review one paragraph from our Catholic Catechism in greater depth. Once a week, we send out an email with the paragraph assigned for each day of the coming week. Along with the Catechism text, we include the related footnotes, and/or relevant materials to that section along with questions to stimulate personal reflection. The group is available for Catechism questions or comments but there is no requirement to share your reflections. You can start or stop at any time. Together we will grow in our knowledge and understanding of the whole of our professed beliefs. Sign up the link below so we might have your email to send material each week.

THIS WEEK ON FORMED

Give FORMED a Try

Holy Name of Mary is proud to offer the on-line formation program FORMED

Can you Serve? Liturgical Ministers needed.

Holy Name of Mary has a small number who help each Mass run smoothly by giving of their time to serve as Ushers, Altar Servers, Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, Lectors, and Mass Coordinators.  Now that we have returned to our regular weekly Mass schedule additional help is needed.  All Liturgical Ministers are assigned on a rotation basis to avoid having any one person serve every weekend.  Currently, to completely meet the ministry needs of the Parish help is needed at all  weekday and Sunday Masses.

Please take some time to consider how you might be able to help in any of these roles.  As each one has received a gift, use it to serve one another as good stewards of God’s varied grace. 1Peter 4:10.  Many are called, will you answer?  If you could help or have questions please contact Debbie Cirre at [email protected] or by calling the Church Office.

Please Be Aware of Scam Attempts!

Please ignore any texts or emails that state they are from Fr. Nixon asking for a favor. Father Nixon does not text or email asking for favors, especially money or gift cards. Be aware that they are a scam! Be Safe!
