St. Mary & St. Patrick
Catholic Parishes

February 1 2023:  Well enough snow for most of us but spring is getting closer.
 There will be many changes this year for us especially at St Patricks but through changes comes much growth, even Spiritual Growth. Be open to God's direction remembering he is still molding the Charachter He created you to be.
                                       (for St patrick parishioners)
 St Patrick Hall building returns should be coming to you sometime in February.
FYI status. As most are aware St Patrick parishioners and residents of Akron signed a petition appealing the church closing. Paperwork was sent to Rome but it still may be a couple months before we know results.  We wont make any permanent decisions until that returns.

.For all Parishioners

Remember the Catechism in a year by FR Mike.   View it when you have the time/ your pace. https://ascensionpress.com/pages/catechisminayear

Or watch the Chosen. Now in its third season. its a free app.  they are planning 7 seasons in total. It is not all exactly biblical but nothing contradicts the bible and is very thought inspiring. I was hesitant at first but I have seen nothing so far that is not for improving the connection with our Lord and it brings the Readings we have all heard to life in a story. The writers are evangelical but use advisors of Jewish, Catholics and Protestant experts. The man playing Jesus is a charismatic Catholic and very well outspoken in public of his Catholic roots.  I would suggest the whole family watch and discuss it. A great way to unfold your childrens religion.
 

Please see at the right the "INTO THE BREACH" Video series by Knights of Columbus, Its free. Yes it is for men but Wives and Women help your man become more of the man you want him to be by watching with him also.
Its Free what do you have to loose. COMPARED to what you have to GAIN.

ALSO: Bishop Barron has a free e-book on "The sign of the cross"  Free and awesome info that will bring you to a more intentional life with the Trinity. Maybe 2 hours to read.
Check the Bulletin as always to make sure Mass times are as you expected..
God Bless
