After this weekend we are no longer streaming the Sunday 10AM Mass. With low viewership and with the declared end of the pandemic, all the faithful are encouraged to attend Mass in-person. If you or a loved one are homebound and would like a pastoral visit, please call Stephanie in the parish office to schedule a visit. If attending Mass in-person is not possible, we recommend praying the Mass live with those at the Cathedral of St. John, at 10AM on Sundays or noon on weekdays. WUAB Channel 43 airs each week on Sunday at 10:00 a.m. Cox Communications Cable subscribers may select channel 45. Mass airs each week on Sunday at 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
To view livestreaming Mass on your computer (Sundays at 10:30AM and weekdays at Noon) go to: https://www.dioceseofcleveland.org/offices/communications/mass

Thank you to our 57 parish donors who are making this year’s Annual Catholic Charities Appeal a success. With $16,130 pledged, our parish has reached 50% of our $32,146 goal (as of April 30). If you haven’t had an opportunity to make your pledge, it’s certainly not too late as a follow-up appeal will be offered at Mass the weekend of June 3-4. Please go to catholiccommunity.org for more information about the 2023 diocesan appeal.

The dignity of life in its earliest stages is threatened by a proposed amendment to the Ohio Constitution to expand and enshrine abortion at the expense of existing protections for preborn children and women. As Catholics, we cannot remain on the sidelines when confronted with such a clear threat to human life. The Catholic Conference of Ohio has created a page on our website dedicated to resources to help Catholics unite in prayer and learn more about the proposed amendment and help defeat it. Visit www.ohiocathconf.org/protect to download a flyer and prayer card and learn more about how to take action.
Let Us Pray
God our loving Father,
grant wisdom to those who govern us,
compassion and courage
to those who work to defend human life,
and safety and care to every human being.
For you alone who formed us in our mothers’ wombs,
and who call us home to heaven,
are God, for ever and ever. Amen.
