Weekly Message
Dear Parishioners:
1) DON'T MISS OUT ON TIMELY MESSAGES: Generally once a week, time-sensitive texts or email messages are sent out via FLOCKNOTE. To learn more, there will be a sign-up table after Masses this weekend, April 25 and 26.
2) ACT NOW! SIGN UP FOR THE BUS TO THE ORDINATION ON SATURDAY, MAY 16 FOR DEACONS NATHAN FRANKART AND CHARLES CAIRNIE. The parish office will accept suggested donations of $20 per person and take sign-ups. Because the bus has a limit of 50 people, it is on a first-come, first-served basis and you must pay your donation before signing up. The bus will depart from our school parking lot at 7:30 am and return at 3:30 pm. The three-hour ordination begins at 10 am and there is no guarantee of seating at the ordination.
3) What gifts did your mother give you? Please join the Seniors in Fellowship this coming Tuesday, April 29, from 10:30 am to noon in the Parish Hall as we bring a favorite "mom" food item to share along with our joys, experiences and lessons learned from the mothers we have been close to. Please call or text Cheryl Davis at 330-201-1274 if you plan to come.
4) ENROLLMENT IS NOW OPEN AT ST. MARY SCHOOL FOR GRADES K-8 for the 2026-27 school year, which begins Aug. 19.

5) The Called To Flourish: Our Church for the Future diocesan campaign is well underway. Please consider pledging to this campaign, which will return half of the pledges from St. Mary back to the parish to help invest in our parish campus, to empower ministry, and to secure our future. More information can be found on our YouTube page at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RtEi5NocAbc
6) Are you being drawn toward a role where you can help our St. Mary Parish community? Please start prayerfully considering serving on Parish Council, an invaluable consultative group within the parish. For more information, reach out to Fr. Stephen by calling 330-264-8824.
