Adoration for the Sanctity of Life Leading up to Election Day
November 2-3

We invite you to join us for a special time of prayer before the Blessed Sacrament for the sanctity of life and the protection of women and children. For November only, our monthly nocturnal adoration will take place on a different schedule. Adoration will begin following the Mass of Remembrance on Monday, November 2, and continue throughout the night and into Tuesday, November 3, with the exception of times when morning Masses are being celebrated. Adoration will conclude at 7:00 PM on Tuesday, November 3, when the polls close. |
What a beautiful way to honor and remember our faithful departed at the Mass of Remembrance and then remain in prayer before Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament! Together, we will lift our prayers for the sanctity of life and the protection of women and children as we begin November, a month in which we are especially mindful of gratitude and giving thanks.
Please note: There will be no regularly scheduled Thursday Adoration or Holy Hour with nocturnal adoration on Thursday, November 5.

2026 Annual Appeal
Sharing His Love with Others
|
A Message from Our Bishop Last year, I was blessed to see how the Diocese truly lived the Jubilee Year of Hope. I saw thousands of faithful clergy, religious, and laypeople come together at Catholic Fest in October, and shortly after, I had the joy of meeting our Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, for the first time at the Vatican. This year, I pray that providing hope for others remains a steady conviction for us all. God is always faithful to us in delivering what we need, and his son, Jesus, declared that it is our calling to Share His Love with Others. Your support for the Annual Diocesan Appeal breathes life into our ministries, schools, and parishes. Saint Gregory's Goal is: $138,090 |
|
Knowing that Our Lord hears and answers all our prayers, I humbly ask that you prayerfully consider contributing to the Appeal so we can continue bringing hope and love to those who need it most.
Recently, many of you received a letter from Bishop Knestout asking for your support of the 2026 Annual Diocesan Appeal. It is our sincere hope that you will answer our Bishop’s request and make a generous commitment to this effort.

Virtus Online
VIRTUS training is an awareness session which provides information and training to adults for the protection of children and vulnerable adults in the world around them. Safe environment training has been given to over 100,000 children, parents, employees, teachers, volunteers and clergy. Virtus training is required for all parish volunteers.
Note: ALL volunteers (18 years and older) who may come in contact with vulnerable adults or children under the age of 18 must attend a VIRTUS session, complete a background check, read and acknowledge the Diocesan Code of Ethical Conduct, Safe Environment Regulations, and Digital Communications and Media Policy. This is completed when you register for your VIRTUS training session at virtusonline.org
The Church thrives through the Stewardship of our parishioners in the giving of their time and the sharing of their talents in addition to their generous financial support of the parish. The requirement of this training and screening for volunteers is necessary in a parish this large to keep our youth and vulnerable adults safe. We appreciate your willingness to serve and to protect. Together, we will be Safe Stewards of all those God has entrusted to our care and ministry.
Trees of Life
We present our “Trees of Life”, the past, the present and the future. If you would like to remember a loved one, honor someone who has made a difference or simply give thanks, you can purchase a leaf for one of the trees that will be a part of our legacy. A beautiful bronze statue of St. Gregory the Great will be displayed on the front side of our Church facing Virginia Beach Boulevard. On each side of the statue there will be a “Tree of Life”. We have 300 leaves available. They are approximately 2” x 4”. Each leaf is $500.00 and will be engraved with either In Memory of, In Honor of, or In Thanksgiving for on one line.
