Happy Second Sunday of Advent! Last week I asked our parish families to do some light 'penance' work to prepare our hearts for Christmas...

Happy Advent! I am grateful for the gift of this season to prepare our hearts for Christmas.

The crowning completion of this liturgical year coincides with the humble beginning of our King with the new liturgical year we celebrate next week with Advent.

A new liturgical year will begin in two weeks with Advent. As we approach that new beginning, it's important to 'end' our time well.

Fr. Spisak and I are incredibly grateful for our time on retreat towards the end of October and for your prayers for us. Please know that we also prayed for you!

Join us on Thursday, Nov. 4th at 7 PM, as we adore Our Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament.

I am excited to share more about my time on retreat in future bulletins and conversations. For this weekend, I want to call to mind a few important events and reminders.

As I write this bulletin in advance of my leaving for retreat, I trust that the Lord has done and will continue to do great things for us as we give Him the space and time to minister to our hearts.

We are moving into the heart of the Fall Season, and isn't it beautiful! Praise God for the colors of His creation!

Mary received the author of life in her womb, and remained closely united to Him through His life, death, and resurrection.

It’s with great sadness that we learned about the death of Bishop Anthony M. Pilla on Tuesday, September 21. Bishop Pilla was a faithful shepherd in our Cleveland Diocese for many years.

Happy start to a new Fall season! I'd like to draw your attention to a few items this week.

Dear Parish Family, "You're missing the point, guys." Jesus tells His disciples how He is going to die, and the next thing they do is argue over who is the greatest among them.

This weekend we remember the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks upon our nation.

Happy Labor Day Weekend! I hope you enjoy the extended weekend and rest from our daily labors.

After this week, I'll have been assigned here at the parish for a whole month. I feel so blessed by God to be with you. Time is flying as I immerse myself in parish life.

I can't believe we're heading towards the end of summer already! School has already begun for some of our families.

I began to share a bit about the development of my vocation in last week's bulletin, and I would like to conclude that story in this week's bulletin as I look at my time in seminary formation and early years of priesthood.

As we continue to hear from the Bread of Life discourse in John 6 this weekend and next, I am mindful of Jesus relating His identity as Priest and Shepherd. As you come to know me as your priest and shepherd in Christ, I want to share a little about my own call to priesthood and desire to serve God and His people.

As I begin my time with you this week, I am grateful to God for His call to come to Chardon and Thompson, for your prayers which are sustaining me in the midst of my transition...
