Thank you for your overwhelming support of our St. Vincent de Paul Holy Trinity conference during our Easter fundraising campaign. Your generosity provided over $30,000! Together we humbly recognize God’s mercy and love of the poor. Together we help our struggling neighbors with utilities, food, and rental assistance. Thank you again for your support and sharing our mission to follow Christ in serving the poor. “Charity is the cement that unites communities to God and individuals to each other so that he who contributes to the union of hearts in the community binds it indissolubly to God.” - St. Vincent de Paul

Our Lady of the Rosary has become a church partner with the local chapter of Love INC (In the Name of Christ), a national Christian social outreach ministry. Several Crozet and Charlottesville churches — Catholic, Episcopal, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, and others — are also Love INC partners.

For those wishing to contribute to the relief efforts for Ukraine, we recommend either the Catholic Relief Services website CRS.org or the Knights of Columbus Ukraine Solidarity Fund at kofc.org. Please note that donations made to the church for Catholic Relief Services go to their regular fund – not Ukraine.

With the power of over 350 people in-person and 750 on Zoom, we WON: Commitments to fund $3 million for new affordable housing and to study how to make that happen every year via the Charlottesville Affordable Housing Fund (CAHF).

Eileen D. (an OLR parishioner) is a volunteer case workers and reports: We have been helping so many people that our funds are a bit low. Families are still struggling to pay their bills, especially electricity. Last year we provided ~ $134,000 to 230 unique friends, a total of 701 friends and family members helped, mostly utilities and rent bills. We had 30 calls last week! https://www.svdp-ht.org/
