students who want to deepen their
faith: J-Walking is a small-group,
hands-on experiment in Gospel living.
Itʼs a relationship-based journey that goes against the flow,
takes unconventional paths, crosses social boundaries, and
helps you gain insightful perspectives. Through immersion,
reflection, prayer, and dialogue, weʼll learn together what it
means to become a disciple of Christ in our community. For

MINISTRY OPPORTUNITY: Our Lady of
Peace is a nursing home right next door to the
Church
of
the
Incarnation.
Several
Incarnation parishioners support a Sunday
afternoon Mass there as sacristans, lectors,
communion ministers and musicians. At this
time there there is a need for additional help in the Music
Ministry. This requires an ability to play the piano, but
certainly not at the virtuoso level. The residents are very
grateful for this ministry. I am often told "You should hear us
trying to sing with no accompaniment!". For further
information, please contact Rich Lacasse at 971-4651 or
[email protected].
HEALTH MINISTRY will hold its fall meeting
on Wed., Sept.17 at 7:00pm in room 21. We
will be planning the presentation Medications
Made Easy for the Parish as well as PACEM
foot care in November. Anyone with an interest in participating
in these events is welcome to attend.
We are especially looking for a pharmacist to assist with
Medications Made Easy. If you are a pharmacist and are
interested but cannot attend the meeting, contact Therese
Gibson at 296-3943 or [email protected].

CHRISTIAN FORMATION
Nancy Brinkac: [email protected]
CHRISTIAN FORMATION OPENING DAY FOR SUNDAY MORNING CLASSES: Thank you to all parents, catechists, coordinators,
staff, and behind-the-scenes workers for serving Christ on or before our kick-off Sunday. Due to your efforts many smiling faces will be
seen today in the Christian Formation classroom hallway.
Please get to know your child's catechist and partner with him or her this year in passing the faith to our children. Show them your
appreciation for their response to God, who called them by name to this ministry. Below is a list of catechists for 2014-15:
CLASSES MEETING DURING THE 9:00AM LITURGY
LC3 (LITTLE CHRISTIANS 3-year olds): Erica Shortridge, Assistant Caroline Keller, Coordinator: Kristin Albert

CATECHETICAL SUNDAY-September 21: Each year, the bishops of the United States set a theme for the Christian Formation
year. This year the theme is "Teaching about God's forgiveness." We will talk often, especially in our Grade 2 sacramental prep and
children's candidates classes, about offering, asking for, and accepting forgiveness. As a parent, won't you talk with your child about
forgiveness encouraging forgiveness in your family. Kindly remember that what takes place in your home provides a basis for what is
discussed in class.
TABLES OF SEVEN: After hearing the Word of God during Sunday liturgy, do you ever want to just talk to someone about it? Do you
have questions about how Scripture relates to your everyday life? Are so full of joy that you want to share how God's Word effected
you, or perhaps you just want to get to know other faith-filled people.
If you answered "yes" to any of the above, why not join others for Tables of Seven - 7 parishioners that is,
who informally gather in the Library (on your right in the classroom hallway) following the 9:00am liturgy
(beginning Sept. 21) to discuss the Scripture passages just heard at Mass. Emmausjourney.org guides to the Sunday Scripture
readings are used to facilitate the discussion. NO ONGOING COMMITMENT REQUIRED! Contact Janel Sennewald
at [email protected] with any questions!
As most of you know, working with children in the Catholic Church incurs some significant responsibilities for us
all. Protection of children is a very high priority for all of us. The current diocesan guidelines require that all
parishioners who work with children whether as paid staff or volunteers (catechists, coordinators, FIRE
facilitators, parents who help out with youth, etc.) must have a criminal background check every five years and
complete a Diocesan training course ("VIRTUS"), which consists of viewing a video on child abuse awareness
and follow-up discussion.
Don't miss this opportunity to complete a VIRTUS training session at these convenient locations:
Wed., Sept. 17, 6:00pm, Incarnation-Conference Room
Fri., Sept. 19, 9:00am, Charlottesville Catholic School-Library
Sessions last up to 3 hours.
