the hours; Monday 10-11am and Sunday 3-4am. Please call 330-690-9661.
The reward is unimaginable. “O Sacrament Most Holy, O Sacrament Divine,

We are coming upon the summer hours of the Church lockdown. The church doors

September 2, at which time they will be locked at 6:00pm. This is a reminder to all
8:00pm adorers in charge of locking the doors. Thanks to all of you.

The Ascension
The great mercy of Jesus is revealed in today’s account of his bringing back to life the deceased
only son of a widow from the city of Nain. Pope Francis proclaims “Jesus is a paradigm for the
church.” Throughout the Gospels he shares in the important moments of family life and always
shows mercy. May our families and parishes be rich in mercy like Jesus.
