Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
New Mass Schedule Starts November 5 “Blessed are the flexible, for they will not be bent out of shape.” After broad consultation with parishioners, we are changing our Mass schedule 4:30 Vigil Mass and 8am Mass will remain when they are. The current 9:30 and 11:30 will combine into a 10:30am. I propose this new schedule to begin November 5th and that we examine its fruits over a three month period (taking us through our parish feast day in January).
Church Consecration Anniversary On October 26th we will have a special Mass and potluck to honor the 20th anniversary of the consecration of St. Paul Church, when Bishop Pilla (may he Rest In Peace) was here to celebrate with the parish. The Mass will be at 6pm followed by a potluck dinner. While the church building is still “relatively” new when compared to other churches, ours is still steeped in the history of a parish over 100 years old!
Voting No on November Issue 1 Thankfully our Bishop and and the other bishops of Ohio have been clear with the moral imperative to vote NO on Issue 1 in November. The proposed amendment is directly contrary to catholic social teaching on life, rights of parents, and the freedom of conscience for medical professionals. Please continue to learn about the importance of this issue and spread the word to vote no on issue one.
