Immaculate Conception

We will celebrate Liturgy of the Word and Distribution of Ashes at 1 pm and 5:30 pm on March 5th. Remember, Ash Wednesday is a day of fast and abstinence. The Fridays of Lent are days of abstinence from meat and meat products.

Stations of the Cross will be prayed on the Fridays of Lent at 5:30 pm in the church.

Almsgiving is one of the 3 pillars of Lent – the other two are prayer and fasting. Rice Bowls to support the important work of Catholic Relief Services (CRS) throughout the world will be available at all doors of the church beginning March 1st & 2nd. Please put in spare change daily, eat a simple meal once and week and put the money saved in your Rice Bowl, put in the money saved from something you gave up for Lent – create a new family tradition to support CRS and fulfill your Lenten almsgiving responsibility.

On the First Friday of each month from 1 – 2 pm, we invite you to come to the church for prayer and reflection. All are welcome.

Our next take-out meal will be available Tuesday, February 25th from 4:30 pm until we run out (usually by 5 pm) in front of Waldeisen Hall. Menu: Creamy chicken and rice with vegetables, applesauce, bread & brownie. If you know someone who’s sick or shut-in and would enjoy a delicious meal, make their day by picking one up and delivering it!

On Friday, November 15th at the 46th Annual Bishop William Cosgrove Justice Dinner and Awards, parishioner Lorie Papp received the Faithful Servant Award from the Catholic Commission of Summit County for her work with our St. Vincent de Paul Society and her dedication to the parish and those we serve. WE ARE PROUD OF YOU, LORIE!!!!!!!!!! Please enjoy these pictures from her big night.

Thanks to the generosity of our participants we were able to raise $1,630.00 this year towards the renovation of the space between Waldeisen Hall and the school building to be known as the Fr. Michael B. Smith Memorial Garden. Thank you for helping to make our dream come true.

On Sunday, October 13th, lots of creative and hungry people gathered to decorate pumpkins, eat pizza and share fellowship. Enjoy these pictures from our family-friendly, fun event. Thank you to Acme for the donation of pumpkins and to several local pizza establishments for donating pizza.
