My peace is my gift to you: In Follow the Way of Love, our bishops state: As the
primary teachers of your children, you impart knowledge of the faith and help them to
acquire values necessary for Christian living. Your example is the most effective way
to teach. Sometimes they listen and learn; sometimes they teach you new ways of
believing and understanding. Your wisdom and theirs come from the same Spirit.
What do we teach our children about peace, justice and mercy? How do we model
conflict resolution? How do they see us dealing with stress? Do they see us act with
mercy? Lets share the gifts of peace and mercy.

My Dear Parishioners: It is with great joy and jubilation that we celebrate the First
Communion of the second graders of our parish. We pray that God will bless them

in faith, hope, and love in union with Christs Body and Blood!
Christs Peace and Love!

322 Holy Hours were kept with Our Lord in Eucharistic Adoration last week.
Do you want the Lord to give you many graces? Visit Him often. Do you want
Him to give you few graces? Visit Him rarely. Do you want the devil to attack
you? Visit Jesus rarely in the Blessed Sacrament. Do you want him to flee from
you? Visit Jesus often! (St. John Bosco)

Adoration; please call Judy Soltis at 330-212-0926 if you are ready
