During the past few weeks we have had a few incidents occur in the Church that serve as a reminder that we have to be vigilant and pro-active dealing with situations.

Twice in the past few months and mentally ill man came into the Church during the Saturday evening Mass crying loudly and making a commotion, frightening our older members, especially those who were sitting in the handicapped section in the front of the Church. Then at our October evening adoration, another man - homeless and with mental heal th problems - came into the church frightening those few who were there.

When incidents like this happen, there is really nothing that the priest celebrant can do, as he can’t leave the altar after the Offertory of the Mass has begun. So if someone looks threatening, those having a cell phone should immediately call 911 and ask for the police, explaining that there is a disturbance in Church. The ushers are to stay vigilant to address this issue, and try to safely remove the individual from the Church. The goal is to remove the individual from the church building without harming that person or anyone inside the church.

If you are in church during adoration and someone comes into the church who frightens you, leave immediately and ring the door bell at the rectory. If you have a cell phone, call 911 and report a disturbance in the Church.

Because of these incidents, we are cutting back the hours for Eucharistic adoration in the church on the second Wednesday of the month to 6-7pm. We are asking for extra police surveillance during Mass times and are looking at upgrading the security system in the Church.

We want to be an open and welcoming community where everyone can feel safe for worship and prayer. If we all keep watch over each other, then everyone who comes into the Church can be safe. We can also work together with the civil authorities to see that those who need mental health help receive it and those who act with criminal intent are dealt with through our legal system.

God Bless! Fr. Joe Bacevice

PRIESTHOOD SUNDAY

NEXT Sunday, October 29^th we will celebrate Priesthood Sunday, a day set aside to celebrate the importance of the gift of priesthood in the life of the Church and for us to reflect on the ministry that our priests share with us - when we gather at the Table of the Lord, and when we call on them in our times of need. Consider sharing a personal note or a card of thanks with them. We pray that our young people will be inspired by the ministry and witness of our priests and that their hearts be open to hearing and responding to God’s call. For more information on the priesthood see: www.clevelandcatholicpriesthood.com.

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION

Friday, November 3^rd is the First Friday of the Month and our Eucharistic Adoration will be from 8-9am. We will also have Adoration on Wednesday, November 8^th from 6-7 pm. We invite everyone to spend some time in quiet prayer before the Blessed Sacrament If you are able to commit to a specific time in prayer, please sign up in at the main entrance to the Church.
