At 7:00 p.m. each night from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, our church bells will be ringing in support and appreciation for all the dedicated and brave health care workers from our community and everywhere in the world. Our prayers are with them! WHEN YOU HEAR THE BELLS AT 7:00 p.m., say a prayer for our doctors, nurses and health care providers who are working hard to care for our community! May God bless them and keep them safe!

*This started in St Mary's, Ohio, and many other communities, including those in Putnam County, are joining together in prayer.

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Weekly Announcement

6 April 2020
Monday of Holy Week

Dear Friends in Christ,

Holy Week has begun. It will be a unique one for sure, but I cannot help but to see all of the parallel realities emerging in our time and place in history at this moment and those that have for centuries been recalled and celebrated in faith. National medical spokespersons tell us this is going to be a difficult and challenging week -- that death tolls will be significantly higher, that we should be on our guard against moving about with even greater vigilance. Could there be a parallel “silver lining” in this somber news we hear in our time as there was during that week centuries ago as Our Lord and his disciples entered Jerusalem? A last supper together, witnessing a public execution on a cross, feeling the tremendous loss of losing someone you love in life – these are all human experiences. The one solid fact of the health crisis we have come to know these past weeks is that there is hope. God offers us hope in the greatest jest played on Satan, who thought Good Friday was it.
Good Friday was only the beginning! God springs forth from the pestilence, disease and predicament to bring life, warmth, joy and peace. All that we have known up to this point with the unforgettable COVID-19 pandemic has been saddening, restrictive, even depressing. But the Easter Mystery offers us something more. We see it and hear about it in the news reports across the globe. All of the great acts of charity shown to the infected, the stories we hear about nurses and doctors, police, fire and EMS and even neighbors to others around them – these are glimmers of hope. They are the light and meaning of the resurrection. So while we will hear news reports of the challenges of this challenging week, it is still a “holy” week in our hearts and we know that the story of faith, which is our own story, does not end on Good Friday. Be assured of my daily remembrance each day as Holy Mass is offered. Our seminarian intern Alex also keeps you in his daily prayers.
Many thanks for your prayerful remembrance of us at the rectory. Be sure to join us at our live streamed services of the Easter Triduum listed below on our parish Facebook page.

United with you all these challenging days,
Monsignor Charles E. Singler
Pastor
