Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Happy Feast Day! While the Feast of the Conversion of St. Paul is January 25, our parish celebrates its patronal feast this weekend so that as many people as possible can be present to thank God for our patron, our parish, and all parishioners who continue to fulfill our mission of Forming Disciples in Christ in Community and Proclaiming the Gospel! To honor our feast day and also show our devotion to the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament, we will have adoration and Solemn Benediction following all Masses this weekend. To further honor our feast, this year we have something new - a St. Paul Parish Novena.

The Heart of a Shepherd initiative is an extraordinary endeavor designed to strengthen and better meet the needs of the Saint Mary and Borromeo Seminaries, its seminarians, and our newly-ordained and retired clergy. In addition, this effort will aid our parishes in recovery from the economic impact of the pandemic.

Training for all new and current Altar Servers will be held in the church Saturday, October 23rd from 9:00 a.m. to 12noon. Training will cover both Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Mass. Parents of servers are encouraged to attend if possible. Questions, contact Hanna Lidderdale or Joe Guzi

In the beginning of May, Tessa Zellefrow , celebrated her First Holy Communion. May the blessings of Christ be upon you always!

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.

Imagine my delight when, as a music director, Don sent me a link to his new book:  "A Collection of Catholic Devotional Hymns to St. Joseph". 

Happy 66th Wedding Anniversary to Tony and Jane DiDonato! Fr. Pfeiffer joined them at their home to give them a special blessing to celebrate the wonderful graces God has bestowed upon them for 66 years. What a great example they give to us of the faithfulness in the sacrament of Holy Matrimony.

Erich and Patricia Bettle celebrated 50 years of marriage! They received a special blessing at Mass for this occasion. In our culture, the importance of marriage is not only downplayed but often attacked. May we thank God as this couple continues to be a blessing for us all.

Paul and Irene Fickert celebrated 60 years of marriage! Thank God for the beautiful sacrament of Matrimony. Paul and Irene show a great example of God’s love and presence in the world. What a joy to bless them on this occasion.

Sunday Aug. 23, seven young adults from St. Paul Parish received the Sacrament of Confirmation: Grace Mazzagati, Daniel Rudowicz, Makayla Ulery, Alec Sturgill, Gabriel Vance, Garrison Stone, Thomas Tatum. May God the Holy Spirit continue to dwell in them strengthening them to live holy Catholic lives!

On Priesthood Sunday we pray for all of our priests and those who are discerning a vocation to the priesthood.
