Ask Father...
What is the role of the deacon in the Church? How does their training differ from that of a priest?

On-Line Priest Q & A
Do you have a question about our Catholic faith that you want to ask a priest but haven't had a good opportunity to ask it? Here's your chance! Send your question to Caryn at the Rectory (330-467-7959) or clintner@sbcglobal.net. We will list your question anonymously on the new Ask Father page, and a priest will answer your question.

Prayer for Father's Day

Dear God,
You have given fathers the task of raising their children to holiness. You chose Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as fathers of your holy nation of Israel. Despite their failings, weaknesses and poor choices, you made of them a great and long-lasting nation. And when the time came for your Son to enter this world, you chose a holy man named Joseph as his father.

As our Heavenly Father, you have seen us, your children, make both wise and poor choices. Give us grace to be faithful to you, despite our failings, and help us be fathers to our children as you have been to us.
Amen.
