Roman Catholic Church – Akron, Ohio
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!!
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.
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.

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.
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!!
Alleluia! He is Risen! Happy Easter everyone. We all know that this isn’t the Easter we had expected or planned. We can’t be together to celebrate this joyous feast as a parish family and we can’t gather around the family dinner table as we had anticipated. Although many traditions have been affected, Christ rose from the dead and that we can celebrate – each in our own way, from our own homes. Through video, we bring to you the Easter readings and Fr. Mike’s homily. As we watch and listen, let us pray for one another, for all who have died, who are sick. who have lost loved ones to this terrible virus and to the time we can all gather once more to worship our Risen Lord. In the meantime, let us remember that the Church isn’t just the place we go to worship – let us remember that we are the Church and express that through our love of neighbor and our compassion for those in need. May the light of Christ brighten the way through this difficult time and may God bless each of you and keep you safe.
