We have found it necessary for the health of all involved to postpone the St Helens / St Marys preCana day event originally scheduled for March 28th. We did not take this action lightly, and intend to reschedule the day for a time yet to be determined. We are looking at dates in June. Please read entire article!

"I command you: be strong and steadfast! Do not fear nor be dismayed, for the LORD, your God, is with you wherever you go." – Joshua 1:9 As you can imagine, COVID-19 has greatly impacted our weekly collections. With Masses cancelled through Easter, automated giving will help your Parish pay the bills.

After serious consideration of the grave health risk involved in public gatherings and in order to curb the spread of the Coronavirus, the bishops of Ohio have decided, effective immediately, to suspend temporarily all publicly celebrated Masses/liturgies, at least through the celebrations of Holy Week and Easter. The bishops of Ohio dispense the Catholic faithful who reside in their respective dioceses and all other Catholics currently in Ohio from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass through Easter Sunday.

In an effort to safeguard the faithful now that the coronavirus (COVID-19) has emerged in Northeast Ohio, the liturgical changes contained in this article will take effect immediately, until further notice.

Due to Governor Dewine’s request to limit public gatherings, this week’s fish fry (Friday, March 13th) will be take-out only! We feel it is very important to do our part to help limit the spread of the coronavirus. The menu and prices are listed in the article. Thank you.
