News and Events

Sandwich Ministry
Volunteers will partner with our Methodist Church neighbors in preparing sandwiches for those in need in downtown Akron. This outreach will take place once a month and is a meaningful way to serve our community together. We will gather on July 22 at 1:30 PM at Peninsula United Methodist Church, where we will assemble 100-200 sandwiches. Your support is greatly appreciated! [posted 7/16-22/2026]

Knights of Columbus Collection
At the Masses on July 25 and 26 the Knights of Columbus will be here to collect funds for their Measure Up Campaign. These donations are used to help people with developmental disabilities.  The Knights will accept donations at the church doors.  Your generosity will be appreciated.  [posted 7/16-26/2026]

Weekly Adoration Time
Starting on June 18, 2026, the church will be open every Thursday evening from 7:00-9:00 pm; join Matt C for a few minutes or the full two hours.

Summer Travels and Sacred Places
Did you visit a church, cathedral, shrine, or other holy site during your summer vacation?  We’d love to hear about it!  Please share a brief description of the place you visited, along with one or two photos, so we can feature your experiences in an upcoming parish bulletin or on our parish website.
Submit your stories and pictures to: [email protected] whenever you worship somewhere special this summer. Thank you for helping us celebrate the beauty and diversity of our Catholic faith around the world!
