We need your voice at Indian River Detention Center On Tuesday, December 19th, from 6 to 7 PM, a group of parishioners will visit Indi-an River Detention Center in Massillon to sing some Christmas carols, also to revisit with the residents the miracle story of the birth of Jesus, and what that means to us as Catholic Christians. If you would be interested in singing with us, you don't have to be Pavoratti to join us (maybe Bocelli) Call us, either Dan at 330-704-8789 or Jack at 330-495-0805
Nine Days of Prayer, Penance and Pilgrimage On January 22 our nation remembers the infamous 1973 Supreme Court decisions Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Since then more than 55 million children’s lives have been lost to abortion, while the lives of their parents have been shattered. Each year the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops call for “Nine Days of Prayer, Penance and Pilgrimage” taking place this year from January 18 until 26. More information may be found at www.9daysforlife.com.
Hope and Healing for those Suffering after Abortion After 45 years of legalized abortion, millions of women, men, families and friends are hurting. There is Hope and Healing available.
