Parishioner Meal Teams
"I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink... I say to you, as you did it to one of these least of these my brethren, you did it to me" [Mt 25: 35, 39]. We are called to be Christ-like to all those in need. All the good works we do are a grateful response to God's mercy. Let no one feel lonely and let no one feel abandoned! May God's love overflow in us to reach to out to all who seek help!
Meal Teams provide meals for families experiencing short or long-term illness, crisis, loss, or other types of emergency needs. There is always need to help in various ways!

Teen Star
TeenSTAR is a program that is in its 3rd year in Richmond that focuses on human sexuality and fertility awareness for our adolescents. Our goal is to support the efforts of parents in directing their sons or daughters in their search to fully develop their sexuality in a responsible and caring manner. To do this we intend to examine what constitutes quality communication within the family, respect for life, psychosexual differences between men and women, fertility awareness, and the consequences of artificial methods of contraception. This program teaches adolescent fertility within the framework of values. The values includes respect for the individual and that sexual self-giving receives its full meaning only within marriage. The program also teaches that respect for fertility is best served through the knowledge and philosophy drawn from modern natural family planning methods. The young women will be asked to keep a special chart of their fertility signs and they will learn to understand the God-given power of the female cycle. Young men and women are taught separately and are being taught by Deacon Jim and Tina Reichley.

Marriage Annulment
An “annulment” is a declaration that when a man and woman exchanged consent at their wedding, one or both of them truly did not consent to marriage as the Catholic Church understands marriage.
A common question is, “How can the Church say a marriage is null?” It is not a question that is easily answered. To understand “nullity,” we must first understand what the Catholic Church believes constitutes the Sacrament of Marriage.
