Holy Trinity Hymn


This Sunday, June 7th, we will be celebrating the solemn feast of the Holy Trinity.

Here is a great modern hymn to the Trinity,  Sing Praise to Our Creator.  (This was sung at the National Catholic Shrine in Washington, D.C.)

Confession availability (drive-up confessions) [UPDATED]

Image
UPDATED 3/31/20.  See new entry for St. Mary's confession time. OK.  So my makeshift confessional won't look quite as elegant as the confessional booth in this photo, but I have set up a temporary outdoor confession station at St. Peter's, in the picnic shelter behind the church. I will be posting more hours here on this blog and also posting a sign on the shelter posts as I add hours over the next few days.  The first confession hour will be Monday, 3/30, from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m.  Please spread the word.  If there are still penitents waiting at 6:00, I will wait too. I am also giving thought to when and how I can hear confessions at St. Mary's.  Will keep you posted on that. Please note that the church allows confessions outdoors in these unusual circumstances, so the sacrament will be valid even though not offered in church. Here are instructions for using the makeshift "drive through" confession station at St. Peter: Confessions will be ...

Thanks for your generosity

 UPDATED: 22 January  I'm a little belated in posting this, but just wanted to thank all of our parishioners who have been so generous with their time and financial resources to engage in the works of mercy -- such as feeding the hungry.  In partnership with St. Vincent de Paul and New Richmond Area Ministries (NRAM), we have been continuing our ongoing efforts to feed the hungry through our food pantries, stationary and mobile, on an ongoing basis.  Each year, we also try to remember our families in need for the year-end holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas. For instance, on the St. Mary side, last November 24th we provided 20 Thanksgiving dinner baskets to needy families in the Bethel area.   On December 22nd, we provided 20 Christmas Dinner baskets to needy families as well. On the St. Peter side, together with the NRAM, o n November 20th, 90 boxes of food for a Thanksgiving Dinner were assembled at St. Peter's and then passed out the next day to the needy ...

Covid Update

Image
  UPDATED: 31 October 2020 I have had a few questions about the impact of the State's announcement of an increase in the number of Covid-19 cases here in Ohio. The Archbishop has recently assured us that unless something very drastic happens, we will continue to celebrate holy Mass publicly, with the same precautions already in place. Here is the most recent statement from the Archdiocese:  County Designation of “Purple” Due to COVID Cases Speculation that some counties in Ohio may be designated “Purple” based on rising COVID cases naturally raises the question of what this might mean for the public celebration of Mass. The Catholic bishops of Ohio have no desire to suspend the public celebration of Mass and neither does Governor DeWine. Therefore, unless notified otherwise, a “Purple” designation would indicate  no change  to our current protocol. This does, however, throw a spotlight on the importance of following that protocol as  masks, hand sanitizer and so...
