A couple of you dropped off copies of the Sunday, June 13th Akron Beacon Journal which listed the 2021 Best of the Best winners and there we were – in the top 5 under “Places to Worship”!!! THANK YOU to all who voted for us – this is very cool. Invite your friends to come to Mass with you, invite them to come to the Rubber Ducks game and introduce them to fellow parishioners. I.C. Spirit – catch it!

On Saturday morning, June 19, it was discovered that vandals had pushed over our marquee on the corner of 16th St. and Battles Ave. A police report was made and insurance and the diocese have been notified so that we can get repairs started. Pray for those in our community who delight in destroying the property of others. Fortunately neither the marble nor the glass in the sign were damaged. FYI – We are happy to report that the marquee has been repaired!!

Our parish outing saw the Akron Rubber Ducks defeat the visiting Richmond Flying Squirrels 5-3 on Friday, July 23rd and it was great night for a ball game: great group of people from I.C. and Park United Methodist, a victory, full moon and fire works, you just can’t beat that! Hope you enjoy these pictures.

Legacy Roofing has completed work on the roof of Waldeisen Hall!! Things went smoothly until a heavy rainfall the weekend of August 7-8. A staff member went into the hall on Monday, August 9th and found ceiling panels on the floor and water on the floor. Apparently there had been difficulty with the roof drain closest to 16th St. and that was pretty evident. Fortunately there were still crew on the property and they cleaned everything up and called in a plumbing company to clear out the drain, which took several tries over 2 days with several different pieces of equipment. They replaced the ceiling panels and then trimmed the metal all around the edges. All evidence of the job has been cleared away except for one lonely little port-a-potty! Once that company can come and pick it up, we’ll be good to go – figuratively. Please continue to use your Capital Improvement envelopes to help with the expense of this project.
