"Hope Does Not Disappoint" (Romans 5:5). The theme of hope is given to the faithful in the Jubilee Year 2025. We are Pilgrims of Hope who embark on the journey of faith to encounter our Lord in a more profound and meaningful way in our daily lives. 

St. Mary Parish is one of the sacred sites in the Diocese of Cleveland for the Jubilee Year of Hope 2025. As a Jubilee Parish, you can obtain a plenary indulgence by participating at Mass, Stations of the Cross, the Rosary, or by spending time in Eucharistic Adoration and praying an Our Father, the Profession of Faith, and invoking Mary the Mother of God. This is an amazing opportunity before us this year, and I encourage you to take time to come to St. Mary's or another parish established as a Jubilee site this year to further your spiritual growth in Christ!

Those unable to participate in these visits to our Jubilee parishes can obtain a plenary indulgence by uniting themselves in spirit with those taking part in person and reciting the Our Father, Profession of Faith, and other prayers while offering up their sufferings or hardships of their lives.

We will have a special cross on display in the sanctuary for the Jubilee Year, and we will celebrate special Jubilee Masses throughout the year. The Jubilee Mass schedule is as follows:

• Monday, January 6, 2025 at 7:30 am
