On March 26, the U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in a case that has the potential to make a major impact in the widespread accessibility of chemical abortion, which is now the most common form of abortion in the United States.

 

The USCCB Committee on Pro-Life Activities, along with Conference President Archbishop Timothy Broglio, is inviting Catholics to join a focused effort of prayer for the end of abortion and the protection of women and preborn children, beginning on March 25, the eve of the oral arguments. While the case is not about ending chemical abortion, it can restore limitations that the FDA has overridden. When a decision is released, most likely in June, a public and political reaction similar to the Dobbs decision that overturned Roe v. Wade is anticipated.

From the desk of Fr. Bob Franco

from the bulletin for April 21, 2024
The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.

Dear Parishioners,

​

One of the things that the Easter Season rings in is weddings. Though we have not had as many weddings as in the past (Lord, send us engaged couples to get married in the Church!), there is a wedding at St. Peter Parish this coming Saturday, April 27. The couple originally scheduled their wedding for 2:00 p.m. in early 2023, before St. Peter’s changed its Saturday vigil Mass to 4:00 p.m. Their wedding time was not adjusted when the Mass time was changed. This puts a bit of a crimp in the St. Peter confession schedule. Since their wedding is without a Mass, the conflict will be minimal. The bottom line is this: Confessions on Saturday, April 27 at St. Peter Parish will begin at 2:45 p.m. St. Julie’s Confession schedule (3:30-4:30 p.m.) remains unchanged.

​

I had the privilege earlier this week to conduct some Server Training classes. We currently have two servers: Dawson Davis and Ryan Papesch. I will be holding one more server training session this Monday, April 22 at 3:30 p.m. I have sent out notifications in through the St. Julie PSR Program. However, if you are not in the PSR program but are interested in becoming a server, please see me or simply show up to the training session on Monday at 3:30 p.m.

​

This, the Fourth Sunday of Easter, is called Good Shepherd Sunday. The gospel readings are from John 10, the chapter in John’s gospel where Jesus refers to himself as the Good Shepherd. This phrase is on the lips of our Good Shepherd two times in our reading. Jesus also highlights the way he demonstrates that he is the Good Shepherd: He lays down his life for his sheep. This phrase of “laying down my life” is repeated three times in our gospel reading!

​

These texts of scripture both comfort and challenge me. I am comforted by the amazing love of Jesus Christ, who laid down his life for us sinners! I am challenged in that, as a pastor, I am to follow in the steps of Jesus and willingly lay down my life for God’s people here in North Ridgeville. Pray that I grow in becoming the Shepherd Jesus calls me to be!

​

This is also a time for the Church throughout the world to pray for vocations to the priesthood and religious life. I am very grateful for how God is answering our prayers for vocations in North Ridgeville. There are three men from the North Ridgeville parishes in our seminary system for the Diocese of Cleveland. Our seminarian who has just finished is Mr. Del Sherman. He will be ordained a permanent deacon on Saturday, May 4 at St. John Cathedral in Cleveland. He will be celebrating his ordination with gratitude at St. Peter Parish on the following weekend, May 12 at the 8:00 a.m. Mass. A reception will follow in our gym immediately after the Mass.

​

St. Peter Parish also has two other seminarians. Mitch Carson is finishing his internship year at St. Mary Seminary. His field work this year was at Our Lady of Angels Parish in Cleveland. God willing Mitch will be ordained a priest in May of 2026.

​

The third seminarian is a junior in the Borromeo Seminary system (about 1/3 of the classes are at Borromeo and 2/3 of the classes are at John Carrol University, the degree granting institution). His name is William Myers. Will entered Borromeo in the fall of 2023.

​

Let us pray that more men (and women seeking consecrated life) will hear the voice of the Good Shepherd inviting them to follow Him in these beautiful ways of service.

​

In Christ,

Fr. Bob Franco
