Fr. John’s News
Would you like to join me for lunch once a month and hear a quality presentation to renew your faith? The First
Friday Forum meets at the Spitzer Conference Center at Lorain County Community College on the 1st Friday of the
month for lunch at 11:30am followed by a speaker at 12:00noon. We are finished and out the door at 1:00pm. I would
like to reserve a table (or more) for our parish. The cost will be lower per person, and it would show our support to the
Forum and their hard work of making this wonderful faith formation program available to us. This will include Bishop
Malesic on Nov. 4 which is usually a difficult program to obtain tickets. Please call the office if you would like to reserve
a place at the parish table for the following programs:• September 2 – Fr. Joe Koopman (St. Mary Seminary - “Morals”)
• October 7 – Nick Ksenich M.D. (Family Medical Specialist)
• November 4 – Bishop MalesicThe cost is $23 per person/per month if we reserve a table; or $25 per person/per month if tickets are bought
separately. Please consider joining me and your fellow parishioners for all three sessions.
The Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary on August 15 celebrates Mary’s sharing in the glory of the resurrection.
The obligation to attend Mass on this Holy Day has been dispensed by the Bishops of the United States. However, if
able, it is still a great time to come together to celebrate Mary’s life and resurrection. Mass will be at 7:00pm on
Monday, August 15.
Fr. John

An update from Bishop Malesic on keeping people safe against the COVID-19 virus
Data indicates that the rates of infection of the COVID-19 virus are rapidly dropping in our area and will continue to drop. As a result, local health care systems are lessening operational restrictions. Consequently, after consultation with local medical experts and a review of the latest information from public health officials, I offer these revised guidelines.
1. Signs may be removed from the church regarding the request to wear masks.
2. The mandate requiring masks to be worn during the distribution of Holy Communion is lifted.
3. Distribution of the Precious Blood to the congregation remains prohibited until further notice.
4. Concelebrants should use the intinction method or individual chalices should be provided.
While there is no mask mandate or recommendation now in in place in our parishes, if you are not fully vaccinated against COVID-19, or if you have serious health issues, please follow your doctor’s advice regarding wearing a mask and other ways to help protect yourself and others.
Those parishioners who are ill, have significant health risk factors or care for someone who is immune-compromised or ill, as well as those who have significant fear or anxiety about contracting the coronavirus in a large group of persons are not obliged to attend Mass.
