Socially Distanced Volunteer Opportunity!

The parish property is always in need of a good clean up after the winds of winter. If you have some spare time, just pile up branches and we will do the rest.

Remember: “Many hands make light work!”

A Communion Reminder... as we continue safe protocols

​~

It has been quite a while since we have mentioned reception of Communion during the pandemic. Especially with more people attending Mass in person, it is time to remind everyone of a few basics:

• Eucharistic Ministers will stand just behind the line at the front.

• People process from the back of the church via the side aisle: the last shall be first. Also, returning is easier if the wall seats of a row go before the center seats of that row.

• Keep a 6-foot distance when coming to Communion and returning to your seat.

• Present your hands as flat as possible. Please do not grab the Host. Let the minister place the Host onto your hand.

• Move to the ‘X’ on the floor, briefly lower your mask to consume the Host, and replace your mask.

• Return to your seat via the main center aisle, even if you have a seat on the side.

• Anyone wishing to receive on the tongue should be the last to receive so that the minister does not have to repeatedly sanitize his/her hands between communicants.

Thank you for your help in keeping everyone safe and healthy.  

Heart of a Shepherd Campaign 

​

Were you able to join us for one of the information sessions?

If not, please use this link (Heart of a Shepherd) to watch the Saturday evening presentation from St. Julie's. 

We hope that the information shared provided clarity on the need and scope of this project and how we can all be a part of ensuring our retired priests are taken care of and provide for our future priests.

As mentioned, if you have any specific questions, please contact Fr. George at the parish office at 440.327.1978 or via his private email at: 

​

You may also go to www.catholiccommunity.org/heart-of-a-shepherd for more information about this exciting effort to raise funds for our own parish, as well as better meet and serve the needs of the St. Mary and Borromeo seminaries, current seminarians, and our newly ordained and retired clergy.

From the desk of:    Fr. George

A parishioner shared with me information on a podcast that I found quite interesting and inspiring.  During a year where we find ourselves spending much time separated from each other, it feels like a personal invitation to journey with the Lord. It is an opportunity for each of us to follow at our own pace and from the safety and comfort of our homes.

Each day, a 20-25 minute session will guide us through several readings, a reflection, and end with a guided prayer. A few moments every day to learn and be strengthened by the holiest of books.

The Bible in a Year podcast is offered through Ascension Press and is hosted by Fr. Mike Schmitz.  A brief introduction from Fr. Schmitz is located here.

A Message from Fr. George

Greetings Parishioners and friends of St. Julie’s,

Jesus teaches us that He is the true vine and that His Father is the vine grower and that we are the branches. Together – by remaining in Him – we bear much fruit… and by this, we glorify the Father as disciples. This simple image is one which reminds us of our need to be connected to not only God, but also to each other. Together we can build up the Church and bring others to know greater compassion and love. The sacraments we celebrate nourish us, and the rituals help us to appropriately focus our efforts.

Take some time to during this Easter Season to focus upon the words of our hymns, the rituals of our Mass and the signs and symbols that declare the goodness and grace of God.

​

​

May the Easter Season continue to bring you new life and joy in the Risen Lord!

​
