It was recently reported on the local news that at least 5 churches in the Bon Air area have had contribution checks stolen from their church mailboxes. Church members noted missing contributions, particularly November and December, after receiving their end of the year contribution statements. PLEASE look carefully over your statement to see that all your contributions are listed. If you feel there is a discrepancy, notify the church by calling Jan Webb at 864-4704 or Diane Phillips at 864-4711. St. Edward’s partners with Westover Hills Elementary (WHES) to provide classroom helpers, lunch buddies, readers, library helpers, and birthday celebrations. To find out more about WHES, check out the Communities in Schools Quarterly Newsletter. If you are interesting in knowing how St. Edward’s joins with WHES through volunteering, go to the “Important Forms” section of the parish website and look for “WHES volunteer info.” We would love to have you join us. These scammers are not only using email, but are now calling parishioners - Please be aware of this fraudulent activity. “Cybercrime is hitting dioceses nationwide. If/when you receive an email that shows the parish’s pastor or a parish priest as the sender requesting you to purchase a gift card, rest assured it is a scam. Parishioners can and should contact the parish to verify the legitimacy of any suspicious request received through email. All cybercrime should be reported to the FBI at https://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx. It is up to the victim of cyber-crimes to file complaints.” Please click HERE to follow the link to the Richmond Diocese website for up to date information on the crisis in our Church. Bishop Knestout encourages anyone aware of sexual abuse of minors on the part of clergy or staff of our diocese to notify civil authorities, call the Attorney General’s Clergy Abuse Hotline at 1-833-454-9064, and reach out to the Diocesan Victim Assistance Coordinator, Jennifer Sloan at 1-877-887-9603.Announcements
