We are called by our Lord to be holy. How’s that going for you? Well, help is on the way at our next Women’s Fellowship meeting on Saturday, September 9, 2018, from 9:00-11:00 am in the Upper Hall, as we host our own Father John Betters to guide us through Our Call to Holiness. Fr. John always brings his very special brand of warmth, sincerity, and comfort, and we always leave feeling blessed. Maybe this time we will leave feeling holiness is possible too! No reservations necessary. Call Renee Barber 216.731.1515 ext. 262 with questions.
Nearly every parent wants what is best for his or her child. Yet, when it comes to giving their child a solid grounding in faith, most parents feel-at least at times-less than fully prepared. The Church tells them they are the first teachers of the faith to their children, and yet they often feel ill-equipped for the task.
Faith and Families will help moms and dads discover the hidden holiness in family life and find ways to amplify that holiness and nurture it in the course of days, seasons, and years. It looks at the ways parents actually hand on a living faith, the virtues they need and the lessons they communicate. It invites parents to see the hand of God in both the joys and
challenges of being a family.
Families with children up to grade 5 (and older brothers & sisters) are invited to attend Faith and Families. These gatherings will be held on the third Tuesday of every month at 3:30pm in Saint Robert and William Church.

As a community of faith one of our most important jobs is to call more people to the faith. Jesus instructed his disciples to go out and baptize all the nations. The way we can do this today is by inviting people to become a part of our faith. In a few weeks we will start the RCIA process. RCIA is the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. It is a journey for people considering becoming Catholic. The cool thing is that the first few months are just exploring, no major commitment. Do you know someone who is searching for a faith? Someone who was only baptized Catholic and never completed his/her Sacraments? Someone of another faith who desires to be Catholic? If so, please call or have them call Renee Barber or me at the Parish Office. I encourage you all to invite one or two people to the faith. What is the worst they can say? NO? Just invite…let God do the rest.
