Scam Alert
St. Julie’s telephone number (440-327-1978), and identity (St. Julie Billiart), is being used to solicit supposed orders for a life alert device. The telephone message indicates that you have been chosen to receive a device for seniors who need help. This is not from St. Julie’s.
We believe this is a scam. If you receive a telephone call with caller ID as St. Julie Billiart, and St. Julie’s telephone number, 440-327-1978, do not answer. If you believe that St. Julie’s might be trying to call you. . . . . please hang up and dial St. Julie’s yourself.

A Message from Fr. George
In today’s Gospel account Jesus walks on the water toward the disciples who were a few miles offshore in a boat. Their fear that a ghost was coming toward them may have been a natural response to an unexplainable sight… and yet Jesus sought to calm them as best he could. Central to the scene is Peter’s quickly failing trust in being able to do what Jesus commanded.
Fear is a normal human response to the unknown, but where and in whom do we place our trust? Acknowledging Jesus’ love for us can lessen our fear or anxiety. Praying for the courage or strength to face our trial is not selfish. Placing ourselves into God’s hands provides the opportunity to see and understand many things… and even if we still do not understand, can we trust that grace and blessings come in many different ways? This week, walk on water if you dare, but leave the support of yourself in the arms of the Lord!
Fr. George
