Faith and Fiction Book Club
At our June 10 meeting we will discuss Sister, Soldier, Surgeon by Leisa Carzon -- a true story of Sister Dede Byrne.  Come and explore something different; if you don't like reading, listen to the audiobook version. We’re composed of men and women, parishioners and non-parishioners, Catholics and non-Catholics. Everyone is welcome. We gather at 10:00 am for coffee and catch-up and begin our book discussion promptly at 10:30 so that we can be finished by noon. [posted 6/4-10/2026]

Bike and Hiker Blessing
Join us for our second annual Bike and Hiker Blessing.  This will take place on June 14 after Mass.  We will gather outside the church on the sidewalk. Afterwards from 10:45-11;45, we will bike or hike on the Towpath Trail in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park.  Then we will regroup on the church grounds for a picnic starting at 12;00.  Food and beverages will be provided.  For more information, contact the parish office at 330-620-0992 or via email [email protected].
