From the desk of Fr. Robert Franco
from the bulletin for August 23, 2026
The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.
Dear Parishioners,
Bishop Malesic recently sent me two “Thank You” letters, one for St. Peter Parish and one for St. Julie Parish. Both parishes have met their Catholic Charities goal for 2026. May the Lord bless our generosity and especially bless those who will benefit the 2026 Catholic Charities Appeal.
The Cycling Saints will be on the trail again this Sunday afternoon at 2:30 PM. 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 route is flat and all are welcome.
St. Julie’s will be celebrating the parish’s 48th Anniversary this Sunday, August 23 with a special outdoor Mass at 11:00 AM. After Mass, we will serve hot dogs, play games and celebrate Fr. Gonser’s 90th birthday. All are welcome and bring a lawn chair. (Reminder: no 9:00 AM Mass on Sunday, August 23.)
The Fest was the highlight of last week. There was great music, lots of vendors with give aways, food, confessions, Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and an Evening Mass with Bishop Malesic. There were fireworks too.
I am not sure if the Fest will be coming back to Forefront Field in Avon. Besides being close to home, the ballpark seemed to fit the bill. I was there twice on Saturday, once for confessions and once for the closing Mass. There was plenty of parking. Entering and exiting the ballpark area was also easy. We’ll see what happens next year.
School has begun! Blessing of student backpacks will take place today at both parishes at the Masses this weekend. It will be a great year of learning, growing and serving.
Discovering Christ will begin again on Monday, September 14 at St. Julie Parish. I encourage everyone from both parishes and beyond our parishes to participate in this wonderful seven-week series. Details are in the bulletin and on the website. If you have already participated in this series, please come to the Discovering Christ reunion next Sunday afternoon in the St. Peter gym at 4:00 pm.
The St. Peter Event Center is progressing. The last of the major excavating is complete. Installation of the sump pump will take place when it arrives. In the meantime, most of the steel went up this week. Construction on the roof will begin soon. The mobile unit is almost ready for school and should be completed by the end of this week.
In our second reading, as St. Paul was pondering God’s amazing plan, he cried out, “Oh, the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God!” (Romans 11:33). Part of that wisdom is the role of the Pope. In today’s gospel, Jesus laid the foundation for this ongoing ministry. “You are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church…I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven.” (see Matthew 16:18-19)
The role of the Pope is to strengthen his brother bishops (see Luke 22:32), while guiding the Church, keeping her teaching free from doctrinal and moral error. We pray: God bless Pope Leo XIV!
In Christ,
Fr. Bob Franco
As seen from in our church!
