 340 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. We
still have three vacancies: Sunday: midnight-1:00am and 1-2am and Monday
8-9am. “The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best
time that you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will
deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and
beautiful in Heaven.” (St. Terese of Calcutta) Commit and find out for yourself, what
the time spent, will mean to YOU! Call 330-690-9661

Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Listen to Jesus in today’s gospel: “Stop murmuring among yourselves!” What good does it do?
Similarly, Pope Francis invites us to encounter each other with reverence the way Jesus did. If we
have a concern, state it honestly, clearly, with affection and at the appropriate time. Constant
complaining becomes nagging. We might momentarily feel better, but others could become bitter.

Please pray for the sick,

Will you have increased income as a result of the new tax changes? Perhaps you can
consider increasing your offertory contribution to our parish. Changes in the tax law
kept in place several popular and attractive charitable gifting options. Gifting
appreciated stock (held more than 1 year) to our parish may allow you to deduct the
stock’s full value and bypass capital gains tax. Also, if you are 70 ½ or older, you may
be able to reduce your taxable income this year with a gift made directly from your IRA
to our parish. Talk to your advisor and IRA administrator for more information and be
sure the gift is made directly from an IRA to a qualified charity such as our parish.
For questions, you are welcome to contact Mary Lou Ozimek of the Catholic
Community foundation at 216-696-6525 x4070 or via email at
[email protected].

Facebook page, regular bulletin ads and occasional meetings to keep you in the loop. Please take
minute and text or call Carolyn King 330-234-7302 to get on the list. It will just take a minute and you
