BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE

From July 27 – August 31 we will be collecting school supplies to help students start the year with the tools they need to succeed! Your generous donations can make a huge impact on their education and future. Please place all donations in the bins at the entrances of the church. Donations will then be given to Catholic Charities for distribution to those in need.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

 

EAGLE SCOUT PROJECT

Nate Ferguson, who has been a dedicated Altar Server for the past 6 years and a scout with Troop 9115, is working on his Eagle Project.  Lord of Life Church approached him to tear down their playset and build another for the community to use.  It is a costly project and Nate’s goal is to raise $3000 with a stretch goal of $4650 to supply rubber mulch. Let’s help Nate reach his goal!  Any amount is greatly appreciated.  To donate you can see Nate after mass or mail a check to

SAINT MICHAEL SHRINE ENVELOPES

We will continue to have an additional collection on the second weekend of each month.  The envelopes that were for the Saint Michael Shrine will now be for Saint Michael Parish Projects.  The money collected from these envelopes will fund various physical and spiritual projects in our parish.  Thank you for your continued support.

YOUTH FAITH FORMATION

THE DEADLINE FOR YFF REGISTRATION IS MONDAY, AUGUST 25.

If you are new to the parish or have a child entering Kindergarten or First Grade call Marcy at the parish office for information about YFF and to request a registration packet.

​

First Grade is required in order to prepare for First Reconciliation and First Eucharist in second grade. It is expected that grades three through seven are completed before entering eighth grade and Confirmation preparations. 

​

Kindergarten is not required but highly encouraged. We limit the Kindergarten class to 10 children. If you are considering registering your child for Kindergarten YFF, be sure to get your registration packet in early to ensure a spot for your child. 

 

Thank you to our catechists who have worked so hard to make Year 2 of YFF a success. These wonderful parishioners dedicate their time to sharing our faith with the children of our parish. As always, life sometimes brings changes to our Catechetical Team.  We are looking to add a few more people to grades 3-4 and 7-8.  Please take a moment to pray about joining the Catechetical Team and talk to our catechists about what being a catechist entails.  You may be the person God is calling to join YFF. If you are interested in joining the YFF Catechist Team, please call Marcy at the parish office at 330-533-6839.

 

ANNUAL DIOCESAN APPEAL - One in Hope, One in Mission

Our Annual Diocesan Appeal: One in Hope, One in Mission is now underway. Many of you have generously donated to the Appeal last year will receive a personalized packet from Bishop Bonnar in the mail.  We will have additional brochures and pledge cards in the pews. The Annual Diocesan Appeal is the major solicitation in support of Catholic Charities and the Ministries of the Diocese, seeking to raise $4,000,000 throughout our 80 parishes in the diocese.  Last year, our parish collectively raised $155,000.  I am eternally grateful to everyone who made a gift last year.  Our parish goal this year is $103,000 (our goal is in direct relationship with a percentage of our annual offertory, making it obtainable).  I am asking everyone to prayerfully consider making a gift to the 2025 Annual Appeal.  If we were able to add additional parishioners to the list of generous donors this year, the difference that could mean to our brothers and sisters in need in the area would be amazing.  More information will be presented in the coming weeks. I ask that you keep everyone served by the Appeal in prayer and open your heart and mind to the work of the Appeal.  -Father Lavelle
