As we look out over the parking lot, we see many things going on today, June 30th. People in masks are lined up outside the Free Store to come in for the first time since March, gardeners are busy tending their Community Garden areas and the Community Meal Team, in masks, are in Waldeisen Hall preparing to serve the community delicious take-out meals and soon people will be arriving for their meals. Things are definitely NOT normal and won’t be for a very long time, but these events today give us hope that someday they will. In the meantime, we’re taking every precaution by wearing masks, social distancing, sanitizing hands and surfaces. We’re in this together!!
Ascension homily video from Fr. Mike
We did a video of Fr. Mike’s homily on the Feast of Ascension and we hope you enjoy it. Even though the doors are now open we will continue to film things for those who do not yet feel safe about being out in public – we care about you!!
May Crowning
Fr. Mike crowned Our Blessed Mother, Mary, on Sunday May 3rd. We hope you enjoy this video and we invite you to honor Mary by praying the Litany of Loreto with Fr. Mike.
Revisiting Generations of Faith Talks on iTunes
Thomas Conte, webmaster extraordinaire, found these live recordings from our 2010 Generations of Faith program and put them all here in one place. We invite you to revisit or enjoy them for the first time. In 2010 Fr. Andy, ordained from this parish, was in his 4th year of priesthood, Bill Boomer was Director of the Marriage and Family Life Office, Sr. Margaret was the Director of the Office of Evangelization and Fr. Tifft was a professor at the seminary. Thomas, thank you for these gems.

Drive thru blessing
Thank you to all who came to our Drive Thru Blessing Event on May 10th – it was so good to see you!! I wish we had pictures to show you, but it was so busy we didn’t have time to take any. Fr. Mike, Fr. Sam and the staff were excited to welcome you back to the property and we hope you were excited to be here. If you couldn’t come, you can pick up a bulletin and the latest letter from the Ohio Bishops at the back door of the rectory.
GIANT shout-out
We are incredibly grateful to Mike Grace, President of TNT Exterminating Co., a wonderful, generous and gracious friend to the parish, who came with a crew on Friday, April 17th to sanitize the church, the Free Store and first floor of the school along with Hitch, Waldeisen and Maher Halls. TNT takes care of our pest control and monthly inspections and during this difficult time, they have figured out how to use their equipment to sanitize against this terrible Covid-19. If you have need of an exterminating company, please consider giving our friends at TNT a call!!
