Dear Parishioners,
Thankful for God’s Blessings and your
continued generosity, I share with you
our annual Financial Report on the
income and expenses of our parish. I
am grateful to Pauline Kowalski, our
bookkeeper, Kimm Bunch, our Financial
Chairperson, our Finance Commission,
and all of you for your financial
support.
The good news is that our parish
ended the last fiscal year with a net
profit of $142,982.70. This was
largely due to bequests, gifts,
Memorials, Church Preservation
Donations, and Gifts which totaled
$83,148.00 as well as $77,335.45 in
investment income.
Our Mass attendance and our regular
offertory collection were low. Our
offertory collection was down
$22,667.51 from the previous year.
This year’s offertory collection was
$167,668.51. With this in mind, I
would like to take the opportunity to
encourage all of you to make a safe
return to our parish church by
resuming the practice of regular Mass
attendance at either our 4:00 p.m.
Vigil Mass on Saturday or our 10:00
a.m. Mass on Sunday. We observe all
the safety protocols. During this
time, Bishop Malesic is recommending
that we wear masks to prevent the
spread of the virus. It is a
recommendation, not a requirement.
We miss seeing you at Mass and we
would love to see you again.
The Bishop is asking every parish to
participate in an offertory renewal
program. We will be doing this during
the weekends of October 2nd and 3rd
and October 9th and 10th. As we saw
the interior restoration of our church
building with scaffolding, replastering,
and repainting, this gave birth to an
insight, namely: We Are Called To
Build Church Together. Two simple
ways to do this are through regular
Mass attendance and increasing our
offertory contributions.
Incidentally, why not come back to our
church to see the newly renovated
church building? The total cost of
the job was $131,649.29. Diocesan
Insurance paid for most of it. We will
be paying $13,000.00. Our Church
building looks great on the inside!
Come back to see what our church
looks like.
We still have many challenges in
keeping up our facilities since we have
four aging buildings. We recently
made $27,000.00 of capital
improvements to our convent
(kindergarten building), our rectory,
and our property. We have an
upcoming inspection of our church
façade, hope to put in a new garage
doors, and hope to return to the
initiative of “Light up the Lord’s
House,” with more exterior lighting.
Your financial support enables us to
have 31 active ministries. Because of
you we are building church together in
Christ, through Word, Sacrament,
Community Witness, and Service.
Your support of our Parish St. Vincent
de Paul Society enables us to reach
out to the poor and unfortunate in our
neighborhood and parish.
Please continue your generous
support. We appreciate all forms of
giving. To date, 53 households are
giving online. If you wish to choose
this option, please go to our parish
website at www.st-john-
nepomucene.org and click on the
“Online Giving” link. We are grateful
if you still wish to contribute through
your church envelopes as well. You
can place your envelopes in the
collection baskets at Mass or mail in
your envelopes or drop them off at
the rectory in the mailbox near the
rectory door.
If you are not receiving envelopes or
would like assistance in giving online,
please call our office manager, Sandy
Yody at 216-641-8444 x 10. She will
be happy to assist you.
For those unable to come to church,
we continue to livestream the 10:00
a.m. Mass on our parish website and on
Facebook.
Let us Build Church Together. Let us
continue to pray for one another.
Gratefully,
Father Jasany

Blanket Sunday !
The weekend of October 9-10 marks the 35th Annual Blanket Sunday Collection. This collection is sponsored by the Diocesan St. Vincent de Paul Society. Due to sanitary concerns and lack of storage space, we will gratefully accept your financial donation and the shopping for you, making your money go even further with bulk purchase of blankets and other items needed by the homeless and disadvantaged. So please “blanket” someone for the winter and give yourself a warm feeling.
St. John Nepomucene Regional Parish School of Religion is
accepting registration for any student in grades 1-8 for the 2021-2022 school year. We accept and serve children from Slavic Village and Southeast Cleveland parishes.
So invite a friend, relative, or neighbor to join us in learning
more about our faith. Classes will be done using a home school
model. Please call Judy Lasecki at 216-641-8444 ext 29 for more
details and to register.
“Building Church Together” Program
Over the next few weeks, you will be
hearing about our upcoming renewal
program “Building Church Together”.
This effort continues to be very
important as we move forward with
the mission and vision of St. John
Nepomucene Church. We, as a parish
family, have changed so many lives in
our community! In order to continue
our mission and ministries, we
encourage all parishioners to spend
time in prayer and discussion with
your family reflecting on the work we
do. Our special Commitment
Weekend will be celebrated on
October 9 & 10. If you have any
questions regarding the “Building
Church Together” Program, please feel
free to contact the parish office.

Jesuit Retreat House
NEW DATE! Walking the Sacred Path.
Sunday, October 3 from 2:00pm - 8:00pm.
As we mark the turn of the seasons with the
autumnal equinox, we invite you to come
pray and meditate as you walk our
(temporary) labyrinth in the JRC meadow.
Our labyrinth is modelled on the one
embedded in the floor of the Chartes
Cathedral in France. While ancient in origin,
walking and praying the labyrinth became
popular for Christians in the Middle Ages
when it was difficult or dangerous to go on
pilgrimage. A labyrinth walk can represent a
life journey, a pilgrimage to a sacred place,
or a prayer path that leads us to God. Cost:
Free
