From the desk of Fr. Robert Franco
from the bulletin for October 11, 2026
The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.
Dear Parishioners,
It is with sadness that I announce the passing of Tom Gimmartino, the part-time maintenance person at St. Julie Parish. He passed away on Wednesday, September 30th and his service was on Saturday, October 10. Tom enjoyed fixing things, managing the contracted services at St. Julie Parish and just helping out wherever he could. He was responsible for painting the educational wing at St. Julie’s and oversaw the installation of the LVT in the hallways and sacristy. Let us remember to keep his wife Angie, as well as their children and grandchildren, in our prayers.
This also means that St. Julie Parish is looking for a part-time maintenance person. Duties include: cleaning, set up and take down of tables and chairs for programs, some maintenance of the grounds and oversight of grass cutting, leaf pickup, snow plowing and other contracted services. If you are interested in this job, please fill out the form online at www.dioceseofcleveland.org.
Last weekend St. Julie and St. Peter Parishes hosted Pet Blessings. With the help of Judy Cummings, I blessed around ten dogs at the St. Francis of Assisi Shrine on Julie Lane. On Sunday, with the assistance of Christine Stefanek, Fr. Isidore blessed dogs and cats at the St. Peter playground. As Daniel 3:81 says, All you beasts, wild and tame, bless the Lord!
Around 75 people from west side parishes participated in the What to do in the Moment workshop on Sunday, October 4 at St. Julie Parish. I am grateful to Terry Flanagan and the St. Julie/St. Peter Social Justic Committee for hosting this Catholic Charities event. I am also grateful to the team of Dr. Edgardo Padin, Dr. Dobie and Lisa Moser for their expertise in providing training to help respond to mental health crises and emergencies. Terry pointed out that Pope Leo’s monthly intention this month is for mental health ministry, especially for those struggling with mental health problems, that they would not be stigmatized or discriminated against.
Weather permitting, the Cycling Saints will be out this Sunday, October 11 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 multipurpose trail is flat. The cycling will begin at 2:30 PM. Round trip is about 20 miles. Please let me know at franco@stpeternr.org if you will be joining us.
St. Peter School, like all schools, offer afterschool activities called clubs (i.e. The Lego Club, The Chess Club, Robotics, etc.). Well, I am starting an afterschool club called The St. Carlo Club on Monday, October 12. Middle school students and I will learn about the life of St. Carlo Acutis, discuss some of his writings and work as well as spend time in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament. Pray it goes well!
The gospel message proclaimed by the Church calls us to respond with lived faith. Jesus’ parable in today’s gospel describes some other responses, like indifference and hostility. Sadly, these responses are popular today. May we, always and eagerly, accept the invitation to the King’s wedding banquet and don our wedding garment by good works.
In Christ,
Fr. Bob Franco
As seen from in our church!
