About us... Our parish community was founded in the year 1957. In commemoration of our 50-year Anniversary in 2007, the parish community celebrated the "Jubilee Year" by having a whole variety of special events throughout the year. |
We, the parish community of Saint Gregory
the Great Catholic Church in the Diocese of Richmond, are called to
proclaim God's love and the Good News of Jesus Christ to all. We respect
the value and dignity of each person as a child of our loving God. We
are committed to the practices and beliefs of the Gospel and the
Church's teachings. We will proclaim and accomplish our mission by
bringing the Good News of Jesus Christ and the Catholic faith to people
of all ages through genuine Worship that emphasizes Faith, increased
Understanding and Spiritual Experience.

in different ways. Jesus argued for law as backbone. He looked at the real
purpose of “clean and unclean,” “exterior and interior,” adherence to the
word planted within. When law is backbone, then we have cause to exercise
and grow in the Lord, supported and strengthened in the truth. In this life,
Christ Jesus, who is the way of service to one another, leads us by the
power of the Holy Spirit to the Father.
