PLEASE PRAY
We
ask you to remember in your prayers the soul of Father John Wright and the
soul of Emily Bossard who died recently and was buried from our parish. May
they have eternal rest in the peace of God’s kingdom.
MEMORIAL DAY
Monday, May 28th is Memorial Day.
Again this year, our Catholic War Veterans Post 613 will have their annual
Memorial Day commemoration here at St. Casimir, beginning at 8:30am
with a service at the Freedom Memorial in our Neff Road parking lot,
followed by Mass. The commemoration will conclude with breakfast in our
lower hall. All are invited.
WELCOME NEW PRIESTS
This Saturday, May 19th,
Bishop Perez ordained three men as priests to serve our diocese. We
congratulate Father Matthew Cortnik, Father Michael Feldtz, and Father
Richard Samid. May God’s blessings be with them as they begin their priestly
service to the Church of Cleveland.
BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
MOTHER OF THE CHURCH
Pope Francis has added a
Memorial for “The Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Church” to the General
Roman Calendar. It will be celebrated each year on the Monday after
Pentecost. This year it will fall on Monday, May 21st. This new
Memorial supersedes the rubric at the end of Pentecost Mass which suggests
that a Votive Mass of the Holy Spirit be
celebrated on the Monday
after Pentecost. The readings of the day are proper and not optional.
PROTECTING GOD’S CHILDREN
The Diocese of Cleveland’s
“Protecting God’s Children” program is a continuing effort to instruct and
inform everyone about the protection of children from sexual abuse. To
report any past or present suspected inappropriate behavior toward children
by priests, deacons, religious, lay ecclesial ministers or personnel
associated with the Church, contact the Diocesan Response Service Office at
216-334-2999 or by e-mail:responseservices@dioceseofcleveland.org
You are also asked to immediately inform local authorities about
inappropriate behavior.

As
Memorial Day approaches, our Catholic War Veterans Post 613 prepares to have
