Children's Liturgy of the Word

Liturgy of the Word for Children is taking a break this year. Due to logistics and new requirements we cannot have this ministry at this time. Thanks to the many volunteers who have helped me over the last 10 years. Our leadership team is looking for better ways to minister to our young people in the pews. If you have any ideas or willing to help, please call Barb Castor at the Parish Center.

R.C.I.A. begins in September

Meet and greet will be on Monday, September 17 at 6:30 p.m. in the Lower Level Meeting Room! Sessions will be starting in September! If you would like to just update your faith or know of someone who might be interested at looking at the faith, call Barb Castor at 419-347-2381, day and evening classes are available. There is no commitment during this process...just to look and explore.

Barb's One Tank Trip

Join us Friday, September 28 for a trip to Cincinnati. Our first stop is The American Sign Museum which is dedicated to the art and history of signs and sign making. Who would ever dream that a trip to the grocery store could become a fun destination for Barb's One Tank Trip? Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield is anything but your everyday grocery. You won't want to miss this trip. Call the Parish Office to reserve your seat. We will leave the church parking lot at 6:30 a.m. Not sure when we will get home with all that shopping to do!

Fall cemetery clean-up

All decorations need to be removed from MPHM Cemetery graves by October 15. Please be aware that cemetery policy limits decorations to two per grave, with the exception of military decorations. Any item deemed unsightly or hindering lawn care may be removed at the discretion of cemetery personnel. A copy of the policy handbook may be obtained at the parish office. Thank you for your assistance in maintaining a beautiful and dignified resting place for our loved ones.

MPHM Assistance Fund needs your help

MPHM has an Assistance Fund to help those in need in our parish. Currently this fund balance is very low. Anyone who would like to donate to this fund can do so by marking an envelope "Assistance Fund" and dropping the envelope in the offering or dropping off at the parish office. You may give to this fund through online giving as well. Please select Assistance Fund. Thank you!

The Sisters of the Visitation

In the Diocese of Toledo there is a community of cloistered nuns. The nuns at the Monastery of the Visitation have been our own spiritual "Norad" since 1915. They pray for us whether we realize it or not. Being cloistered, they vow to stay in their monastery and not leave. Consequently, it can take a while for word to get out that they need help. Currently, the sisters are trying to repair their building and need help. Father Chris has asked that we either visit their webpage: toledovisitation.org and see if we can help financially or at least say a prayer for those who commit their life praying for us.
