CLUSTER
MASS / VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
On
Monday, February 19th,
we will be
hosting all the parishes in Collinwood for our Lenten Cluster Mass. After
Mass, everyone is invited to our Lower Hall for food and fellowship. We need
volunteers to bake, set up and clean up. Those willing to help out are asked
to sign up at the main entrance to the church or contact Ingrid Civinskas
at:
icivinsk@yahoo.com
or call
440-838-0652.
PLEASE PRAY:
We
ask you to remember in your prayers the soul of Dianne Oloff who died last
week and was buried from our parish. May she have eternal rest in the peace
of God’s kingdom.
ROOTED IN FAITH:
Over the
past five years, we have received $59,894.00, from the Rooted in Faith
Campaign, which is 30% of the money our parish raised for the campaign. As
the campaign draws to a close, the diocese collected $147 million of the
$170 million pledged, which is 87%. The projection was only 85%. During this
year, the diocese will still record pledge payments and will send any
further distributions in January, 2019. When it is completed, we will
receive a detailed report of donors, pledges and payments. We thank everyone
who pledged and donated to this important financial campaign in our diocese.
