This Sunday, July 5th, is the First Sunday of the Month. Our First Sunday Divine Mercy Eucharistic Holy Hour will take place at 3:00 PM, and will be available ONLINE ONLY. Simply go to svdpcleveland.org/facebook
Due to some electrical work being done that requires the power of the building to be shut off, there will be no weekday Mass on Wednesday, July 1st. Weekday Mass will be held on Monday, June 29th and Friday, July 3rd this week. Weekend Masses will be at the normal times.
This weekend we celebrate Father’s Day and so I certainly want to take the opportunity to wish all of our fathers a Happy & Blessed Father’s Day! Thank you too for the continued prayers for my father, at this point he continues to do well and so we are grateful for that. Here in church, we enter once again into the liturgical season of Ordinary Time in a time that has been pretty much anything but ordinary. These past months have certainly changed us, our Church, and our world in so many ways. Right now we are living through a time that is pretty much no way an ordinary time.
Over the last few months, we've heard words such as "cancelled" or "postponed" or "rescheduled" many, many times due to the coronavirus pandemic. We too have had to cancel or postpone a number of different events. Our year-long parish mission, for example, is on hold & I am in touch with our planned speakers to figure out when we want to try giving that a go again.
Unfortunately with everything going on right now, this year’s Parish Picnic is CANCELLED. We will look at either doing something later in the year or celebrating big next year.
Due to rumors of planned protests on W. 130th this afternoon we will be closing the parish office @ 2 this afternoon, 6/2. We will wait to see what transpires before deciding about 8:30 Mass & office hours tomorrow, 6/3.
