As the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days begins the weekend of June 5,6 we will be ending the weekly use of our live stream of the Mass. Sunday May 30th @ 11:30am the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity will be our last weekly live-streamed Mass. The use of live stream will continue for special parish events, adult faith formation, special feast days and masses that will come in the future. We thank you for your support, for more information check out Fr. Pfeiffer’s bulletin column and if you have any questions or concerns feel free to contact Fr. Pfeiffer at the rectory 330-724-1263.
Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Happy Feast of Pentecost! What good news! The restrictions we have had to endure for over a year are finally coming to an end. Well sort of. At the time of this writing, we are still waiting on the details from our bishop about covid related guidelines going into the future. It is pretty safe to assume that social distancing will not be required, nor will masks be required at Mass. Other details like reception of Communion, signs of peace, cleaning of pews, etc. are still forthcoming.
Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Happy Feast of the Ascension One of the interesting oddities of embracing both liturgical forms of the Roman Rite happens this weekend. In the Ordinary Form Calendar, Ascension is still forty days after Easter meaning it always lands on a Thursday. But in our country, the decision is left to the local bishop to decide whether to celebrate it on its traditional day or to transfer it to the following Sunday. In the Diocese of Cleveland for as long as I can remember the feast has been transferred.
Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Christ the Lord lives! Indeed He is Risen!!! St. Paul’s Parishioner Begins Internship Congratulations to Hanna Lidderdale, a lifelong parishioner, who will intern at our parish for the summer to help with her requirements to graduate from University of Akron. You have seen Hanna around. She graduated from our school and has been a diligent and faithful server at the altar in the past. More recently she has been part of our live-stream team and also has served on pastoral council. She starts this week with duties to help grow our “digital presence” and utilize media to help our parish evangelize more effectively.
