Easter is a time for families to gather for a special meal and to worship together at
Church. Home rituals can also make this feast the most important faith event of the
year. Make an effort this year to bring Easter into your home. Try special
decorations, a home Easter candle, a special meal and pray together, sing Alleluia or
Jesus Christ is Risen Today each day of Easter week to proclaim the Risen Lord!

Leo Maurer ~ Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord!

321 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. The
mere fact that you get into your car and come to visit Him for a quiet hour of
prayer is in itself a prayer of great faith, for He said to His apostle, Thomas, you
believe because you see Me, blessed are they who do not see and yet believe.
Here Jesus is praising you for your faith in Him in the Eucharist. Those who keep
company with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament are His friends today who will stand
out for all eternity for their faith in His Real Presence. (Fr. Martin Lucia, SS.CC.) Call
Mary Jane at 330-753-6852 or Barb at 330-848-2024 for a private visit.

Attention: Holy Hour Captains, there will be a meeting in the rectory on Tuesday,
April 18 following the 5:15pm Mass to plan the upcoming dinner. All are encouraged
