We are pleased to make available a recording of the 19th Sunday of Ordinary time:

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, August 2020
Is the Lord calling you to the living waters of Baptism, or the Bread of Life offered at the altar? Are you interested in knowing more about the Catholic way of life? Of entering into the Mystery?
Follow the call and join us on the journey of the RCIA, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. RCIA is offered for anyone who feels called to the Catholic Faith.
God calls us in many different ways. No matter what a person’s reason for becoming Catholic, the Church prays that when God calls, a person responds.
We become Catholic by learning, praying, living as Catholics do. One of the missions of the Catholic Church is to help people respond to God’s call by walking with those who desire the Catholic way of life. The process of initiation is embodied in the RCIA.
Seeking information does not require a commitment. If you are interested in speaking about your experience of God and His call, please contact Kathy Wadowick at 216-631-6872 at St. Pat’s or Stephanie Pritts at 216-861-5343 at St. Malachi. We welcome you!
Who are they?
The people coming into the RCIA process are either adults or children over seven yrs of age who have never been baptized, or those who have been baptized in other Christian denominations, but whose baptism is recognized as valid in the Catholic Church. Also, there are those who come through the process who were baptized in the Catholic Church but have never learned or practiced their faith, having not received the sacraments of confirmation and/or Eucharist.

Pope Francis Quote, 08/08/2020
Like a sudden breaking storm, the coronavirus crisis has caught us all by surprise, abruptly changing on a global scale our personal, public, family and working lives….This dramatic situation highlights the vulnerable nature of our human condition. The pandemic has also forced us to question the roots of our happiness and to rediscover the treasure of our Christian faith. It reminds us that we have forgotten or simply delayed attending to some of the key issues in life. It is making us evaluate what is really important and necessary, and what is of secondary or only superficial importance. This crisis has shown us that, especially in times of need, we depend on our solidarity with others. In a way it is inviting us to place our lives in the services of others. It should make us aware of global injustice, and wake us up to the cry of the poor and of our gravely diseased planet. July 28, 2020

Pope Francis Quote-08/01/2020
Pope Francis warned against “those who are always hunting for the limitations and defects of others. Instead, it is those who know how to recognize the good that silently grows in the field of the Church and history, cultivating it to maturity, who are able to collaborate in the vision of God.”
Pope Francis, Angelus Address, July 19, 2020
