Pastor's Note

Beloved in Christ,

The Gospel is clear on the need for all of us to have a continual conversion of heart toward the Heart of Christ. This is especially true for those who accept the yoke of public service. This statement from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops could be helpful:

Lectio Divina

Lectio | Prayer

With the clear teaching and artistry of the Augustine Institute's Lectio series, Dr. Tim Gray masterfully uses the discipline of Lectio Divina to show you how to make prayer an effective effort of love and intimacy.

In six video sessions, Lectio: Prayer: Finding Intimacy with God captures the secret to opening our hearts and minds to Scripture as the means to hear from God and then respond in conversation, basking in his presence and resolving to live in and through his love.

Lectio Divina: Hearing God's Voice Through Scripture by Tim Gray

In this informative presentation, Dr. Tim Gray, the President of the Augustine Institute in Denver, Colorado, shares how Lectio Divina enables you to enter into a dialogue with God. This prayerful reading of Sacred Scripture is a proven means to encounter God in daily life and will benefit both those new to prayer and those who are more experienced.

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him not even one thing came into being that has come into being. In Him was life, and the life was the Light of mankind. And the Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not grasp it.”

John 1:1-5

As a reminder, Ohio's mask mandate requires everyone above the age of 10 to wear facial coverings in public indoor spaces that are not a residence. This includes St. Margaret of York. Please familiarize yourself with the full details of the order. Thank you. Click here for details

Public Masses have resumed with safety measures and precautions in place. Catholics remain dispensed from their Sunday obligation. We will continue the live-stream while the dispensation is in place.
