News and Events
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 annual Bike and Hiker Blessing. This will take place on June 14 after the 9:30 Mass. We will gather outside the church on the sidewalk. After the blessing 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]. [posted 5/29-6/14/2026]
