Thank you to all who came to decorate the church – it is beautiful and the flowers make it smell heavenly!! We wish you all a joyous and blessed Easter season.



We held our May Crowning service on Thursday, May 5th. Thank you to Becky Plasity for crowning our Blessed Mother and to those who brought flowers for Mary’s shrine.



On Wednesday, March 23rd we marked the 99th year of ministry to the Kenmore area with Mass and a small reception. We look now to our 100th year and new and exciting ministry opportunities. We are forming a committee to plan various activities as we head into our 100th year. If interested in serving on the committee, please call the rectory at 330-753-8429 to share your stewardship. Unfortunately the camera battery, newly charged, failed, so there are no pictures of those who came over to celebrate, but Beth and Joe Langton took these of the cakes and the new banner. I.C. Spirit – catch it!



Thought you might like to see a few pictures of the church at Christmas, in case you weren’t able to see it in person.





The Kenmore Free Store was awarded the Bishop Anthony Pilla Leadership Award at the annual Summit County Catholic Commission Bishop Cosgrove Justice Dinner on November 19th. Members from Park United Methodist Church along with Fr. Mike and Pastoral Associate, Melissa Keegan, attended the event. Thank you to the Commission for this honor and thank you to all who work so hard in the store sorting and stocking items for our shoppers. Your diligence, care and faithfulness are inspiring.


Because the Free Store was closed last Christmas due to COVID, we had a huge and amazing collection and assortment of Christmas items that we needed to move out so we had a Christmas Blow-Out Event on Saturday, December 4th in Waldeisen Hall. When we said we had a lot of items, we weren’t kidding! Check out the pictures – every table in the hall was full. At the end, items that were left filled 3 tables. It was so much fun!
