(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (July 22, 2012) Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today the gospel tells us that so many were coming and going, they had no leisure even to eat. Does that sound like your home? Dont give in to busyness! Like Jesus, find ways to be together as a family. Make family meals a priority. Seize the moment to be together in the Lords presence.

360 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. Why do we call it a "Holy Hour?" Because it is an hour spent in the presence of the Holy Eucharist: Christ, Himself, the One who alone is Holy. Do you believe this to be true? Then now is the time to give it a try. You can choose whatever hour that will fit into your schedule. A few open hours would be Monday night 9-10 pm and 2-3 am and Tuesday 4-5 am. Please call Judy Soltis for more information, 330-212-0926.
