324 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week.
We have a new committed adorer…Brandon Woodruff. Thank you and may
God bless you always! We have many hours that could us a partner:
Wednesday 7-8pm and Friday 7-8pm or choose any hour that will fit your
weekly schedule. Take a break from the rigorous schedule you have and
spend an hour a week with the One who will change your life. Ask any adorer. Call
Gene at 330-690-9661 to commit.
Our parish is blessed with a Holy Hour for Priests every Thursday from 3-4pm. Much
has been written about what will happen to our faith if the Evil One gets control of our
priests, as is currently going on. No Eucharist, Masses, Baptisms, all Sacraments….
and so much more. The priests need this holy hour and we all need to be here for
them. Your attendance will bring you many blessings! It’s a beautiful hour of the
rosary and prayer. Call 330-753-9979 with your questions.

There is a basket in the vestibule of the church by the stairs with items that have been
left in the church. Please take a moment to go through them and see if something is
yours. It would be gratefully appreciated.

The Baptism of the Lord

With His baptism in the Jordan, Jesus begins His public ministry proclaiming the
kingdom and mercy of God with the knowledge that He is the beloved son of God the
Father. We proclaim the kingdom and mercy of God when we live with the hope and
confidence of knowing we are loved deeply as God’s daughters and sons.
