Mass Intentions “Life Is What Happens While We Are Busy Making Plans.” All publicly celebrated Masses and other liturgies in the Diocese of Toledo have We are starting the last week of April and we should be receiving some news been temporarily suspended. about how much longer the restrictions from the shutdown will continue and if we can celebrate public Masses anytime soon. I am sure most of us expected the remainder of the school year to be cancelled, but it was still an awfully hard pill for me to swallow knowing that I will not have any more school Masses All the faithful are dispensed from the before I leave. obligation to attend Sunday Mass during this time in accord with the Code of I remember when I told all of you that I would be leaving the parishes. I told Cannon Law. you in January that we still had six months together, but with part of March and all of April wiped out my time here is down to two months. I am praying ear- Tuesday nestly that we can see each other in person before I move, ‘still not my will, but your will be done Lord.’ Mass Intention: For All Who Are You can call me ‘the Route 30 Priest’ since I will be traveling this stretch of Suffering as a Result of the road once again. My first assignment as a priest was St. Michael the Archangel Coronavirus/COVID -19 (Defend us in Battle!) Parish in Findlay.

Chris goes to parishes that are the Best! -Rah Rah!” Briner, Bert Ruhe I am sure a lot of us are getting restless by this time and want the Spring weath- er to swoop in and make us feel more alive. This situation is not what we Friday planned. There have been so many lives adversely affected- People laid off, Mass Intention: Lee Gordon; Lena businesses that may not survive, struggling to pay the bills, High School Sen- Tesso iors, hospital workers, families dealing with the virus, churches, and the list goes on and on. Saturday This situation can be for many what St. John of the Cross called- “The Dark Mass Intentions: St. Mary Paulissa Night of the Soul.” A time when it is hard to pray, and we feel so ‘blah.’ But Klausing that is all the more reason to pray because without prayer a person can go from depression to despair. Make sure you take time each day to pray to the Lord Sunday even if it feels dry or useless. Eventually the feelings of consolation will re- turn, and your faith will be made stronger. Sacred Heart “Stay with us (Lord) for it is nearly evening (darkness) and the day (brightness) Mass Intentions: Mary Hoepf is almost over (Lk 24 v.29).”…..“Behold, the hour is coming and has arrived

when each of you will be scattered to his own home and you will leave me alone. But I am not alone, because the Father is with me. I have told you this so St. Joseph that you might have peace in me. In the world you will have trouble, but take Mass Intentions: James and Rita courage, I have conquered the world (Jn 16: 32-33).” Linn; Dorothy and Joseph Marsano; “Bunny” Hauck; Barb & Bert Ruhe; John Thanks, and God Bless!!! and Marcella Barile Fr.
