Adoration Chapel Re-Opens
Dear Parish Family,
After prayful consideration, I am opening our Adoration Chapel again starting today, Wednesday, April 1st. The Cleveland Diocesan's recommendations of keeping the chapel environment sanitized on a daily basis will be followed.
But note some other restrictions must be followed to keep the chapel open:- There will be a limit of 4 people only in the chapel at one time (so if you pull up to the chapel and see 4 people in the chapel, please be respectful and wait to enter when one person leaves).
- Maintain Social Distancing of at least 6 feet apart (2 in the front pews and 2 in the back pews would be preferred).
- Do not sign-in.
- Sanitizing wipes and sanitizing hand disinfectant will be available at all times for your use.
Continue to read more of the Cleveland Diocesan Administrator's recommendations for keeping the chapel open in the Diocescan Memorandum.
Call the parish office at 330-896-2345 for the code to get into the chapel if you do not know it.

The bishops said their move was made “out of deep concern for the common good, as well as the physical and spiritual well-being of all the people of Ohio.”

Reflection From Deacon Steve 4.5.20 (Bulletin Article)
As I write this, I’m reflecting on the unprecedented impact that the Coronavirus has had on nearly everyone on the planet. I don’t know about you, but since the outbreak of this disease in our local communities my “anxiety-meter” has spiked reflecting the feelings of my heart of worry, alarm, apprehension, disquiet and, yes, even fear. Fear is the feeling of anxiety caused by the presence (or pending presence) of danger. The danger could be physical, spiritual, mental, emotional or moral. And whether we admit it or not, as fallen human creatures, we all have fears.
Fear does have a healthy side to it as it can warn us of a real threat to our wellbeing thus allowing us to take appropriate action to avoid a specific danger. But left unchecked fear becomes the enemy of our growth, freedom and joy – blessings that God wants to lovingly bestow on us.

Prayers
AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION
My Jesus, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I long for you in my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.
I adore Thee in the Sacrament of Thy love, the ineffable Eucharist.
Note: This prayer can be said any time throughout the day to lift your mind and heart up to Jesus in the Most Blessed Sacrament of Holy Eucharist, but it is suggested that it should be said in place of not being able to receive Jesus scaramentally during Mass.
