Calendar & Events

Sympathy and Prayers: Times of crisis are, perhaps, the most important times to turn to God. Sometime we cry, "Help me!" or "Please!" or "Save me!" God wants to be there for us. God wants us to turn and ask for intimacy, comfort and help.

For many of us, this is a very difficult time to pray. We don't exactly know what to ask for. Our parish has provided a book of intentions for your concerns and these intentions are remembered at Mass. Please use our book of intentions which you will find near the baptismal font in church or call the office at 330.562.8519 and we will add your intentions to the book of intentions.

PRAYER REQUESTS
To include a name on the prayer list, call the Parish Office (330.562.8519) weekdays 9AM - 3PM or CLICK HERE to email us. Requests must be renewed monthly. CLICK HERE for the weekly bulletin which contains the current PRAY FOR list.

SYMPATHY
Christians from the earliest centuries of the Church have expressed their communion with those who have died by praying for the dead. Your prayers are requested for the family members of those who have gone before us.
