ICYMI: Great story in Arlington Catholic Herald about our newly blessed ultrasound machine - and the women and babies who will benefit from it - at Catholic Charities Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic in Manassas.
Bishop Michael F. Burbidge blessed a new, high-tech ultrasound machine at the Manassas Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic July 20. The $32,000 machine was donated primarily by the Knights of Columbus Fr. Julius J. Cilinski Council 10947 in Clifton.
Nativity in Burke is hosting a food drive for St. Lucy Food Project tomorrow, Saturday, July 24 from 9:00 am – 3:00 pm.
Their truck will be at the rear of the church parking lot nearest Old Keene Mill RD to collection your donations.
The drive will follow the “drive-by/drop-off” procedures established at the beginning of COVID. Donors will drive up to the truck and their wonderful team of volunteers will take any donations from your vehicle (please place your donations in your trunk for safe and easy removal).
Thank you and we hope to see you there.

Today Catholic Diocese of Arlington Bishop Michael Burbidge blessed the new “Mercedes” of an ultrasound machine - a Samsung H550 - which will be especially helpful in caring for women with high-risk pregnancies who come for prenatal care at our Mother of Mercy Free Medical Clinic in Manassas.
Before Catholic Charities opened the clinic, through the efforts of the Blessed Virgin Foundation, the location housed an abortion center.
Funds for the new $32,000 ultrasound were donated primarily by the Knights of the Julius Cilinski Council, other councils, and the Supreme Knights. On behalf of the vulnerable women who receive life-affirming care at Mother of Mercy, we are so grateful.
Campers attending the Cathedral of St. Thomas More's Rocky Railroad Vacation Bible School put together 150 meal kits for St. Lucy Food Project to support Christ House and their clients. We thank them for taking time during camp to help feed those in need.
It's been a busy week for our Office of Newcomer Services. On Saturday in Arlington Hogar Immigrant Services, Legal sponsored an information session for refugees who arrived here 4-6 years ago on how to prepare for the naturalization process. It's the first of 4 sessions we'll offer for Migration and Refugee Services clients this year. The workshop was part of our POWIR (Parishes Organized to Welcome Immigrants and Refugees) initiative.
Then in both our Arlington and Fredericksburg MRS offices we held another successful drive-thru distribution event for refugee families, giving food, household supplies, and PPE.
We're grateful to the parishes, volunteers and donors who support these efforts!

We're so grateful when young people come to us eager to help our neighbors, particularly hungry children. Take the 35 Work Camp students from St Joseph Catholic Church-Herndon VA, St. Mark Catholic Church - Vienna, VA, Saint Luke Catholic Church and Christ the Redeemer Catholic Church we met inside at Turner Farm in Great Falls earlier this week to organize, pack lunches and write little notes for the children who will benefit from our Summer Kids Meal project.
Sr. Aniliza Juan, SNDS, - affectionately known as Sr. Annie - our volunteer coordinator at Christ House, worked alongside the students (she loved that!) She says the easy-to-fix meals will be distributed to families with children at our Christ House food pantry.
Thanks to efforts from the Knights of Columbus, Fr. Lee, and the parishioners at All Saints in Manassas over 9,500 pounds of food was donated to St. Lucy Food Project this weekend.
It's been a busy year, but by the grace of God and thanks to our generous volunteers and donors, we continue to serve our neighbors in need.
Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Arlington provided help through 90,000 client visits in 2020, a dramatic increase from 2019.
Who doesn't welcome a chance to celebrate the end of a school year? Especially when the year included a pandemic, the traumatic experience and adjustment of having to flee one's home country, and the challenges both academic and cultural of settling into a new home and school (especially a virtual one).
And celebrate we did on Friday when our Migration and Refugee Services staff hosted a festive drive-thru event at our Arlington office for 70 youngsters (and their 25 families) who participated in the Virginia Refugee Student Achievement Program (VRSAP). A similar event was held at our Fredericksburg office for students in the VRSAP program there. The end-of-year celebrations came with balloons, brightly colored signs, gifts bags and certificates to honor their hard work. The kids' faces - smiling behind their masks - show their hope and resilience. The future for these refugee children is bright!
