Gentlemen:
I hope you have had a wonderful Advent and Christmas season. In order to get the New Year off to a great start, Father Brian Capuano of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Petersburg, Virginia, will be hosting a Men’s Retreat in early 2021. There are two weekends available at:
Friday January 22 – Saturday January 23, 2021 OR
· Friday February 5 – Saturday February 6.
Please go to Signup Genius to register for one of the weekends at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805084BA8AB28A6F94-patris or you can email Andy at acondlin@rothjackson.com if you are unable to register through Signup Genius.
Patris Corde – “With a father’s heart: that is how Joseph loved Jesus, whom all four Gospels refer to as “’the son of Joseph’.” A newly proclaimed apostolic letter, titled “Patris Corde” begins with the appeal to live with fatherly love. In memory of the 150th anniversary of Pope Pius IX’s proclamation of St. Joseph as the “Patron of the Universal Church,” Pope Francis proclaimed a special “Year of Saint Joseph.” Father Capuano will be focusing his remarks on the Patris Corde. Please see the Apostolic Letter at http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/apost_letters/documents/papa-francesco-lettera-ap_20201208_patris-corde.html
Fr. Brian Capuano has been pastor of St. Joseph since 2012. He concurrently serves as the Vicar for Vocations and a Judge in the Marriage Tribunal. He previously served as parochial vicar at St. Bridget Catholic Church, Richmond.

Once registered, we will provide information on restaurants and overnight accommodations for those that would like to stay near the Church (and you are welcome to drive in both days). There is no cost for this event. However, we will be asking for a donation to the Church as a thank you for hosting us (link will be provided in the registration confirmation email) and at the event we will have a small basket for reimbursement for the lunch and prayer booklet if you would like to contribute $5 - $10 for those costs.
