Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time

In todays Gospel, Jesus gives us a recipe if we want blessings upon our family. The
need for control, power and selfishness must give way to fair treatment, forgiveness,
peace and love for even the weakest member. A blessing is more than a prayer- its
the result of a life well lived. A life of virtue yields blessings.
319 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. We believe as
Catholics that Jesus loves us so much that He dwells with us day and night in the Blessed
Sacrament. Perpetual adoration is simply our response to His love whereby each of us is
willing to spend a quiet holy hour of prayer in His Eucharistic Presence once a week on a
regular basis so that Jesus is never left alone. (Fr. Martin Lucia, SS.CC.) Call Joie at 330-7456852 or Lisa a 330-620-2252 for your quiet hour.

Please pray for our Sick especially: John Baylock, Joseph Benear, Betty Bartel, Jack
Weigand, Lisa Gnap, Irene Lyle, Judy Kriston, Anne Trischan, Fred Kormanic, Shanon
Johnson, JoAnn Mullett, Stephen Deibel, Joanne Ramsay, William Bedford, Carol

My Dear Parishioners: I just wanted to give you a quick update on our pipe organ installation.
We have completed the majority of the remodeling of the choir loft itself. We have installed a
