These 4 young men, Jack, Brandon, Allen and Aaron are associated with St. Thomas Aquinas Episcopal Campus Ministry. For the past school year they have helped out at the Kitchen by sweeping and mopping the dining hall, packing weekend meal supplement bags and doing other miscellaneous jobs whenever asked. We LOVE our volunteers!!!

Our summer season may have just ended… but that means Fall is right around the corner! 🍂

Mark those calendars for our three internal events happening this Autumn: Peterkin Homecoming, Men’s Retreat, and Fall Work Weekend!

Peterkin Homecoming (formerly Autumn at Peterkin) will provide a relaxing weekend where alumni and other members of our community can reconnect, participate in reunion and fall activities, and enjoy countless Peterkin traditions.

Men’s Retreat is back! This is a great opportunity for men throughout our diocese, community, and state to gather for a weekend of fellowship and reflection, centered around our theme, “Fostering Courageous Men in 2026.” (Must be 21 or older.)

Finally, we have Fall Work Weekend! Enjoy a weekend of being good stewards and caretakers of our holy land while helping prepare Peterkin for the seasons ahead. Meals and lodging are provided for all those who come to lend a hand!

More details about all three events will be shared in upcoming posts, along with updates on when registration will open.

For now, start marking those calendars and we look forward to seeing you at Peterkin this Fall! 🍁

Communities around West Virginia and throughout the United States continue to be devastated by flooding, with more rain on the horizon in the coming days.

Please join us in praying for those affected by flooding and, if you are able, please donate to our flood relief fund. Donations help address both immediate and longterm needs.

Donate here: https://onrealm.org/wvdiocese/-/form/give/EDWVdefault

Holy God, be present now with all those affected by flooding. Comfort those who have lost homes, possessions, and any sense of safety. Strengthen the hands of first responders and relief workers, and give wisdom to those coordinating the response. Draw us together in generosity and compassion, that no one may walk through this alone. In Christ's name. Amen.

Congratulations to parishioner Beth Royall on her 2026 WVU Libraries Impact Award! 🏅📚

Last week we presented WVU Impact Awards to four employees, recognizing their extraordinary impact! Each received the award for going above and beyond their day-to-day responsibilities to provide value and impact for WVU’s mission and values.

“The impact of a library is ultimately measured through the people who bring its mission to life,” said Dean of WVU Libraries and Press Mark Paris.
