† FROM OUR PASTOR, FR. TROHA

Congratulations to our parish for going over the top of our goal of $388,700 for the Heart of a Shepherd Campaign. Our total pledged so far (as of last Monday) is over $405,000. We were just short of our goal after the 8:30 am Mass last Tina Ard Ralph Kimpton Sunday. The pledges from the 11:00 am Mass last Sunday Christine Ball Mickey Kostelnik put us over the top. There is still time to contribute to the Jean Barry Sam Kovalak campaign. Our parish will receive 65% of all pledges up to our goal and that amount is $252,655. Since we surpassed Lu Brienik Elayne Kramer our goal, we will receive 80% of all pledges that are made Larry Brown Carmen Polly now. Please consider making a pledge to support our seminarians through Green Eric Rolf the renovation of the seminary building, and to support our young priests in Diana Eisman Jason Triozzi paying their college loans and to support our retired priests through the Patricia Flynn Evelyn Troha Priests’ Retirement Fund. Thank you to everyone who has already made a pledge! Jack Hanslik Nancy Vehr Joann Hlabse Barbara Walsh “Together, the Bishops of Ohio have decided that the general obligation to Donald Jordan attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (including the Satur- day/Vigil Mass) is to be reinstated.

As has always been the case, those who have a serious reason are exempt from attending Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation (Catechism of the , 2181).

Until the Bishop gives us permission to do otherwise, we will continue with procedures that we are following now. - Fr. Troha
