2026 ANNUAL DIOCESAN APPEAL

For those who have already donated to the 2026 Annual Diocesan Appeal, we thank you for your generosity. If you have not yet had an opportunity to support this year’s Appeal (or if you are still praying about your decision), I want to mention something important. That is the Annual Appeal helps fund cornerstone ministries of the Diocese of Richmond that one parish cannot support alone. For instance, one parish could not support the room, board, and tuition assistance needs of our seminarians, supply over half a million dollars to parish foodbanks and Catholic organizations across our Diocese or provide for diocesan-wide next generation evangelization and formation initiatives. The importance of the Annual Appeal to the life and ministry of our Catholic Church cannot be overstated. The faithful support of the Appeal by so many enables our Diocese to more effectively meet the urgent annual needs of the Church which serve as building blocks to grow the Church’s impact for years to come. If you would like to contribute, I invite you to use your phone to scan the QR code located in the pews or go to richmondcatholicfoundation.org/giving/annual-diocesan-appeal/ where you’ll be able to make an ongoing recurring gift or a one-time gift. Thank you!

Incarnation receives 20% of donations to the Appeal, so our local Parish also benefits by your generosity. Incarnation uses these funds to support our outreach ministry.

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL

This year's VBS theme is "Rainforest Falls: Exploring the Nature of God." All the fun will take place Monday, June 15 - Friday, June 19, from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM each day.

Before we can begin accepting registration forms for children, we must have volunteers! We need help with decorations, craft kits, organizing stations, and other pre-camp details. VIRTUS-trained volunteers are needed to lead stations, serve snacks, and guide children during camp week. Middle and high school students can help as station assistants too!

Parents and grandparents serving the week of camp have the fee waived for their children and also get early access to the registration page! Nursery available for children at least 5 months old (limited space).
