Welcome


Fr. AbeMay 2008

Dear friends in Christ:

This month of May concludes our year-long “Diamond Jubilee” celebrating 75 years of Catholic worship and life here in the greater Williamsburg area.

On May 18, the Feast of the Most Holy Trinity, a special concert entitled “Music of Our Faith” will be held at 2 pm in our church featuring choral music sung by the Adult Chorale, the Ensemble Singers, and the Angel Choir. This is a special program to celebrate the parish's 75th Anniversary year. All are welcome!

On May 25, the Feast of Corpus Christi, St. Bede Parish will close this year of Jubilee with receptions after the Sunday Masses and the presentation of a commemorative book that looks back over those years from the dedication of our original church on Richmond Road and Harrison Avenue.

We also are celebrating First Holy Communion for 114 of our youngsters at the weekend Masses in May. Congratulations to our first Communicants and their families! By the end of this year, we will have celebrated 125 First Communions for our children.

On Friday, May 23, Bishop Francis DiLorenzo will celebrate a regional Mass of Confirmation for 75 teens from St. Bede, 16 teens from St. Joan of Arc, and 7 teens from St. Olaf. God bless all those to be confirmed in the seven-fold gifts of the Holy Spirit!

May the Lord Jesus graciously bestow his blessing upon you!
