From the desk of Fr. Robert Franco
from the bulletin for August 16, 2026
The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.
Dear Parishioners,
School begins on Thursday, August 20th for both North Ridgeville City Schools and St. Peter Catholic School. For parents of St. Peter students, this Sunday, August 16th, is Spirit Sunday. The meeting in gym begins at 1:00 PM followed by a short visit to your children’s classrooms. Let us pray for a safe and joyful beginning to the school year. And for those of us who drive during, before and after school hours, may we be patient and respectful drivers.
St. Julie Parish will celebrate its anniversary 48th anniversary with an outdoor Mass next Sunday, August 23 at 11:00 AM. There will be no 9:00 AM Mass next Sunday at St. Julie Parish. Please bring a lawn chair or a blanket and your appetite. After Mass there will be hotdogs and picnic food, children’s activities, a backpack blessing for students and a raffle. All are welcome.
St. Peter Parish will also be blessing backpacks on the weekend of August 22-23 at all the Masses.
New and old parish programs begin in September. Two new things to look forward to: The Hallow App will be made available for everyone in both parishes. An initiative that focuses on social justice and charitable works will be formed.
Parish programs that have blessed hundreds of our parishioners are starting up again:Discovering Christ begins on September 14th. Walking with Purpose Women’s Bible Study: St. Julie’s on September 23rd and St. Peter’s on September 25th. More information is in this and upcoming bulletins.
Our next Cycling Saints will be on Sunday, August 30. We will be riding from the Butternut Ridge Rd. parking area along the North Coast Inland Trail (44342 Butternut Ridge Rd., Oberlin). This trip goes through Oberlin and Kipton and back. The multipurpose trail is flat. The cycling will begin at 2:30 PM. Round trip is about 20 miles. All are welcome.
I want to extend a Thank You to the Boy Scout Troop 153 and Cub Scout Pack 153 for their assistance in parking cars during the Corn Festival. Besides earning some money for their organizations, they raised $800.00 for Community Care.
I also want to extend a Thank You to the St. Peter Sports Association for funding the repainting of the entire gym. The fresh look is uplifting.
The readings for this weekend’s Masses (20th Sunday cycle A) address one of the major effects of original sin: prejudice. Isaiah, speaking in the name of the Lord, said that “foreigners who…hold to My covenant…I will bring to My holy mountain…” In the gospel, a faith filled Canaanite woman moved Jesus to work a miracle for someone outside of the lost sheep of Israel. The final words of the Gospel of Matthew confirm the broadness of the Church’s mission: “Make disciples of all nations”. (Matthew 28:19)
All of us are made in God’s image. In Christ, people are our brothers and sisters. Outside of Christ, they are yet made in God’s image and are worthy of respect and love. We pray that one day they will be in Christ. Selfless love is to govern all our relationships.
In Christ, Fr. Bob Franco
As seen from in our church!
