Am I My Brother's Keeper?

In Introduction to Catholic Social Teaching

Young Adult Ministry invites you to learn more about Catholic Social Teaching and explore ways that this teaching is lived out in our local community. These five sessions will break open important issues in our community, though we realize that we will only be able to scratch the surface of Catholic Social Teaching in five sessions. These sessions will be hosted via zoom on Monday nights at 7pm through the fall. Please come to one, two, or all that pique your interest! If you are interested in attending any of the sessions, please complete THIS FORM to receive the zoom access information.

Animal Blessing

It’s that special time of year again! In October, we will be celebrating the feast of the Patron Saint of Animals, Saint Francis of Assisi. It is customary that we bring our pets to church for a special ceremony called the “Blessing of the Animals”. Deacon Francis will bless our pets on Saturday morning, October 3rd at 10:00 for our first “Drive By” blessing in front of the Piazza. As you drive into the church come around the circle, as you do now for Mass, to the Piazza where you will see Deacon Francis by the Holy Redeemer. Rain or shine, see you there!

Greater Williamsburg LIFE CHAIN

Once again St. Olaf Catholic Church in coordination with other Churches WELCOMES ALL to

participate in the 32nd National Life Chain on Sunday, October 4th from 2:00 to 3:15 PM.

This will be the Greater Williamsburg area’s 8th annual participation in this event. Location

will be on the sidewalk facing Richmond Road starting at Centerville Road. The Life Chain is a peaceful, prayerful, and public witness of pro-life faithful standing in honor of 60+ million lives lost to abortion.It is a visual statement of solidarity by the Christian community that we support the sanctity of human life from the moment of conception to natural death. Even though we will be outside and 20ft apart, we ask all participants to wear a mask. Also for a precautionary measure we will have hand sanitizers available for those who handle our pro-life signs.
