We seek to nourish the Shepherd's flock by forging a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ and worshipping authentically, engaging community.
From our Pastor
Habemus Papam! We have a Pope! And one originally from the United States! Please keep Pope Leo XIV in your prayers. It is a burden beyond all human ability to be the Holy Father. We pray that Pope Leo will be sustained by the strength of the Lord as he leads our Church.
We are blessed as a parish to have Seminarian Brian Myler being ordained a deacon, along with Nick Wytiaz, on June 7. Brian is originally from Saint Susanna. We will celebrate his ordination with a first preaching Mass on June 15 at Saint Susanna Church, followed by a reception. More details will be provided in a later bulletin. Seminarian Nick Wytiaz is back at our parish as he prepares for ordination in June. We are grateful to have him back!
We concluded The Search on May 7 with a delicious potluck dinner. It was an enriching experience for those who attended, even if they couldn’t make the whole series. Stay tuned for updates on our next evening program. We will have something in the fall and are also considering a possible series for the summer.
Thank you to all who have filled out the facilities assessment survey so far. If you haven’t yet done so, please take a moment to complete it.
I am grateful to be going on a pilgrimage led by Dr. John Bergsma of Franciscan University of Steubenville next week (I leave on the 16th). The trip is to Greece and Turkey and is centered on the ministry of Saint Paul. I hope to return enriched with a deeper appreciation for Saint Paul’s missionary journeys and his Epistles. I will be praying for our parish as I make this pilgrimage in the footsteps of one who gave his life and energy tirelessly for Christ.
Come Holy Spirit, Come through Mary, Father Michael Roche
