DECEMBER IS THE MONTH OF ADVENT & THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
“What happened to Mary turns our attention to Jesus Christ, the only Mediator of salvation, and helps us to see life as a loving plan with which we must cooperate responsibly. Mary is not only a model of the call, but also of the response. Indeed, she said “yes” to God at the beginning and at every successive moment of her life, fully complying with his will, even when she found it obscure and hard to accept.” ~ Saint John Paul II

Heart of A Shepherd Campaign
-
Over these past few weeks, I have shared with you a little about our work in support of the Heart of a Shepherd campaign. This special initiative seeks to raise funds to encourage vocations, support the lives of our seminarians and the newly ordained, and provide the proper care of the priests who have dedicated their lives to shepherding our faith.
We hope to raise $136,743 in pledges for this campaign. Thank you so much to all of those who participated in the campaign and thank you to all who continue to pray for the success of this historic effort. We are humbled and inspired by your generosity and your love of our seminarians and priests.
You can still support this important effort! We would like to provide a quick follow-up opportunity to participate. We need gifts at all levels and the campaign needs your help. Parishioners may make their pledges over a three-year period or make a one-time gift through the following ways:
- Drop off your pledge card at Mass or at the parish office;
- Mail your pledge in the envelope provided through the mail;
- Pledge online through our secure giving site at: https://www.catholiccommunity.org/shepherd
Please take a look at the video to learn more about the campaign.
If you have questions about the Heart of a Shepherd campaign, please contact the Campaign Office at (216) 902-1300 or HeartofaShepherd@catholiccommunity.org.
In Christ,
Rev. David Durkee

DECEMBER IS THE MONTH OF ADVENT & THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY
"Purer than heaven’s purest angels, brighter than its brightest seraph: Mary, after her Creator, God, made her and gave her all, the most perfect of beings, the masterpiece of Infinite Wisdom, Almighty Power and Eternal Love. To such a being we cannot reasonably suppose that a perfection was denied her which had been already gratuitously bestowed on inferior creatures; on the angelic spirits." ~ Saint John Neumann
