355 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. This is not an easy
program to keep together….especially for 55 plus years. The Blessings to the parish and all
who are committed to a specific hour are beyond belief! Life changing events are expressed
among us constantly. This is the greatest gift anyone can give to our Lord, so say many
pastors….and our Lord will not be out done in kindess….so says scripture. The following hours
are vacant: Sunday 1-2pm, Monday 8-9am, Wednesday 10-11am. Our vacant night hour has changed
to 4-5am and a partner is needed for Friday 7-8am. If these vacancies are not suitable for your
schedule, choose one that is….and make the call. 330-690-9661

First Saturday devotion to Our Lady of Fatima will be July 7 following the Saturday Vigil Mass at 4:00pm.

Prayers. Beautiful! Don’t miss out on her graces and blessings!

Thirteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In times of crisis, sickness or death families can be quickly overcome with panic and
confusion as in the scene of today’s Gospel. Purposely seeking God together in faith
will dispel the fear and confusion and allow miracles to happen.

Today is the Peter’s pence Collection, a worldwide collection that supports the
charitable works of Pope Francis. Funds from this collection help victims of war,
oppression, and natural disasters. Take this opportunity to join with Pope Francis
and be a witness of charity to our suffering brothers and sisters. Please be generous
today. For more information, visit www.usccb.org/peters-pence.
