Mass & Holy Hour

On the Feast of the

Victory of the Cross

Wednesday, September 14, 2016

7:00pm Mass

On  September  14,  the  Feast Day  of  the  Victory  of  the 

Cross  and  the  eve  of  Mary  Mother  of  Sorrows,  the 

7:00pm  Mass,  followed  by  a  Holy  Hour,  will  be            

celebrated for:  

All who have lost a child ~  

miscarriage, accident, substance abuse, suicide,  

abortion, illness  

Fr. Ryan, during this Year of Mercy, will ask the “Father 

of Mercies”  for  an  outpouring  of mercy  upon  all who 

suffer this loss.  

Join us in worship for yourself and those you care about. 

On this Sunday, September 11, at 9:00am, we are hosting a “Blue Mass” on the fifteenth anniversary of the terror attack on our nation. The Parma Fire Depart-

ment will post colors before Mass begins. Active and retired police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical personnel are our guests. Fifteen years ago, we were dramatically reminded of how much we owe to the First Responders who faithfully serve us in so many ways. Today we particularly remember those who have given their lives in the service of their communities.

May the souls of those faithful departed, Through the mercy of God,

Rest in peace! Amen! The concrete walkways next to our church on Wilber Avenue needed a lot of help. Several of the panels were cracked and there was significant settling that caused unsafe conditions. Before the snow flies, we knew we had to act. The old cracked and sunken concrete was removed and a six-foot wide sidewalk now replaces it. We did not replace the concrete surface next to the curb; that will be planted with grass and also some trees. Our Finance Council considered the situation and determined that--since Carnival 2016 did so well--we will be able to pay for the concrete work out of our just-past Carnival 2016 profit. However, if you would like to donate a tree to be planted along Wilber Avenue in your family’s name, or as a memorial, give me a call at 440-884-3030. Enclosed with this bulletin please find the annual “State of the Parish” report for July 1 2015 to June 30 2016. Parents of second graders and eighth graders--that is parents of children receiving Reconciliation, First Communion, or Confirmation this year--are reminded of our Parents Meeting this Monday, September 12, at 7:00pm. That Meeting will be held in Corrigan Gym. Our parochial vicar, and talented artist-in-residence, Father Terry, along with Brian Pelcin and yours truly will offer a two-part series on the artwork, architecture, and symbolism of our church. That will happen on Monday, September 19 and 26 at 7:30pm, (immediately following 7:00pm Mass) in church. Should be fun, so see you there! The “parish year” really begins in September. New leadership steps forward for our many groups and ministries, veteran organizations resume their schedules, and new offerings are made available. I call your attention to the detailed articles in this bulletin inviting you to share in a wide variety of opportunities: Father Ryan’s new “POST CANA: Living the I Do’s,” Brian Pelcin’s series on the Parables of Jesus, Sister Denise’s SWIFT and her Catholic Men’s and Women’s Connection, and the next series of “Theology on Tap.” Our Big Idea is “something for everybody.” I think you will find a good smattering of very worthwhile offerings. Our St Charles seminarians returned to classes in the last few days. Jason Keller begins his sophomore year and Ian Kelly enters senior year at John Carroll/Borromeo. Jim Cosgrove starts his fifth year of theology with diaconate ordination scheduled for October and priesthood in May. Jim is assigned to Holy Family Parish in Stow. Jim’s classmate, Peter Bang, now begins his deacon assignment with us, also anticipating ordination this year.

CHILDREN’S LITURGY  

OF THE WORD During the 10:30 mass in the Parish Hall, children ages pre-school through second grade are invited to participate in an age appropriate Liturgy of the Word. Experienced teachers lead them out after the opening prayer so they can hear readings and a homily that is geared for kids. They return after the Universal Prayers. This program is now in its 18th year. We are always looking for more teachers, so if you are interested, please call the PCRF office at 440-886-5668. CLW will return on Sunday, September 18.

       R.C.I.A.  The process where-by an individual is transformed by the Holy Trinity into

Christ's body, the Church, and therefore, is Catholic. If you are or someone you know is Catholic, but unconfirmed, or if you or someone you know is not Catholic but would like to fully accept Christ’s invitation to “live in my love,” please contact Fr. Ryan Mann here at the parish or email him at FrRyanMann@gmail.com. Classes begin September 12th and will continue on Mondays through Easter until Pentecost.

GUIDE BOOK & DIRECTORY 

ADVERTISING OPPORTUNITY We are in the process of updating our annual Guide Book & Directory for the church. This book will contain everything pertinent to our church: the various ministries, organizations, committees, activities, functions and events plus a complete directory of all members. This book is being provided and direct-mailed to each family at no cost to our church, and it is again being subsidized by local businesses that advertise. If you own or manage a business and would like to find out about advertising in our book, please call the Parish Office.

Recent survey results by Guide Book Publishing show that 92.1% of families would rather patronize a Guide Book & Directory advertiser over a non-advertiser. It “will pay” to advertise in our new Guide Book & Directory.

If you do not want your telephone number listed in the Directory, now is the time to call the Parish Office (440)884-3030 and let us know. Please note that any changes requested are included in this upcoming edition only.
