He is risen! Alleluia!

We are still full of the joy of the Easter Season. We also celebrate an apostles to the lepers of Hawaii, Our Lady of Fatima, and Matthias, the replacement of Judas. 

Here is your weekly update on what's going on in the parish.

Mother's Day - Father's Day 2022

We are supporting Cornerstone Pregnancy Services in Elyria in their "Change" for Life Baby Bottle campaign. 

You can help local mothers, children, fathers and families in unplanned pregnancies by:

1) Taking a bottle from the Narthex

2) Fill it with change, cash or checks over the next several weeks.

3) Return the Bottle on Father's Day Weekend (June 18th & 19th) to the Narthex

Your generosity helps local mothers and fathers in hard situations choose life.



Thank you!

Eucharistic Adoration

Thursdays

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM (Chapel)

What are you doing to fall more in love with Jesus? Do you view Him as your brother, God, and Savior? Or as a vending machine you try to get favors from when times get tough?

Come join us for quiet prayer before our Lord, Who is unchanging and loves you for you.

We begin and end with Eucharistic hymns.

Our Lady of Fatima

Our Lady is gentle and kind. But because she loves us, she also brings serious messages to help wake us up and turn away from sin and towards her Son.

If St. Matthias had any anxiety when he was chosen to replace Judas as an apostle, there was at least one area of comfort: the bar was set pretty low.

Some Thoughts for Reflection

A Message to Men About Abortion

Abortion is often falsely framed as just a women's issue.

But men are responsible for most abortions. Men need to step up and be heroes to stop this grievous ending of life and wounding of women. 

Are you Happy?

What makes you happy? Are you pursing that?

Is that the best idea?
