Since 1837

"Our tradition is rich and long in serving the
spiritual, educational, physical and social
needs of all those who are part of our community. Living our gospel values we reach out
to those who are our neighbors."

As a celebrating people, we offer worship to God through the sacraments and are witness to the Gospel. As a teaching people, we support our Parish School of Religion and other educational programs to help us know and understand our Catholic faith and its values. As a caring people we serve God in serving each other through our social programs. As an evangelizing people, we reach out to His unchurched and welcome all who enter our doors.

PARISH HISTORY

Since our Reunion Mass, several people have asked for a copy of my sermon. Unfortunately, I have none. I do, however, have a copy of the Parish History compiled by Fr. Corrigan on the occasion of our 150th anniversary. Since copies of that history are limited, I will quote significant parts of it from time to time in my weekly column.

THE EARLY YEARS

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass was offered for the first time in northern Ohio in 1749, by Jesuit Father Peter Potier, who had come from Quebec to work with the Huron Indians in and around Sandusky. In 1817, the Dominican, Father Edward Fenwick, traveled from Kentucky to minister to the spiritual needs of the settlers in Ohio. (Prior to 1821, Ohio was part of the Bardstown, Kentucky Diocese.)

Another Vinnie book, the first of a three part series which will offer reflections for each Sunday of the year. This first book is based on the Gospels of Year A. It is available at the parish office or online >

A book of past articles of Krumbs from the Kraker Barrel is now available. This book contains not only fifty of Vinnie's articles, but also introductions and reflections for each. You can order now at ehalaiko@neo.rr.com or pick up a copy at the office or online >
Cost is $15.00.
