348 Holy Hours were kept before the Blessed Sacrament this past week. We
would like to correct the first name of a new adorer; Virgil & Louise Daniel.
We apologize for the mistake. There are still a few vacancies: Sunday1-2pm
and midnight to 1:00am on Monday. These hours have been vacant for some
time. You do not need to be a parishioner. You need to believe that you certainly
could use God’s help to make your life or your family’s life….much better. An adorer
expressed recently, the benefit of a night hour. Usually it is just you and our Lord,
exposed in the Monstrance. The first thing he says at the start of his hour….”it’s just
you and me now Lord!” How beautiful! Call 330-690-9661 to commit.
Join us Saturday, September 1 following the 4:00pm Mass for a Holy Hour to Our
Lady of Fatima. There are so many Graces available, among other things from Our
Lady. It’s a beautiful hour.

Twenty-First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Today’s second reading from Ephesians makes today “nudge Sunday.” Husbands nudge their wives
when they hear “wives should be subordinate to their husbands.” Wives return the nudge at the
words “husbands love your wives as Christ loves the Church.” The key to this reading is the first
line: “be subordinate to one another out of reverence for Christ.” When love is mutual and
generously shared between husband and wife – marriage goes to a whole new wonderful level!

Items to share with those in need for September are Peanut Butter & Jelly. All donations
can be placed in the bench in front of the giving tree in the vestibule of the church.
Donations are picked up on Monday mornings. Thank you again for all your support in
helping us serve our brother’s and sister’s in need.

Please pray for our Sick especially: Betty Bartel, Lisa Gnap, Judy Kriston, Anne
Trischan, Shanon Johnson, Stephen Deibel, Joanne Ramsay, William Bedford, Carol
Garman, Chad Trischan, Pat Shemuga, Helene Van Oss, Paula Collins, Alexandra
