A Note from the Pastor��

We enter today into Holy Week, celebrating & remembering

some of the greatest & holiest events in the story of our

salvation.� We see in this week the immense love of God poured

out in so many ways, all done for you & for me.���

This Holy Week, though, will be a different one for all of

us.� Instead of extending to you here in this column an invitation

to join us here in Church for the celebration of Holy Thursday

Mass, or for the Celebration of the Lord’s Passion, or for the

praying of the Stations of the Cross, or for the Easter Vigil, or for

Mass on Easter Sunday morning, we will pray all those Masses &

Services together virtually.� I will be doing my best to rotate

between both St. Pat’s & St. Vincent De Paul in the celebration of

these great events. Obviously I will not be able to celebrate a

Mass/Service @ both parishes each day, but I will do my best to

rotate the celebrations between both parishes.���

I would invite us too to try to make this Holy Week special in

our own homes.� Maybe we might take some time in silence,

maybe we might find the Stations of the Cross online (whether it

be from our parish or another version) & pray them together,

maybe we might share a meal together to remember the Last

Supper, maybe we might read the Scriptures for each of the

celebrations of Holy Week & take some time to reflect on them in

our own prayer, maybe we might light a special candle in our

homes remembering the Easter Candle that will be lit here in

Church.� Whatever we do, let’s consider doing something, maybe

something different this year. The coronavirus may keep us from

gathering in the Church itself to celebrate & remember these great

& holy events, but that doesn’t mean we let them pass by without

any type of remembrance. Have a blessed Holy Week.�

AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION�

�

My Jesus,�

I believe that You are present in the�

Most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all

things, and I desire to receive You into my

soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive

You sacramentally, come at least spiritually

into my heart. I embrace You as if You were

already there and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen .�

PALM SUNDAY � � � � � APRIL 5, 2020 �

A LETTER FROM FR. DON OLEKSIAK, �

DIOCESEAN ADMINISTRATOR�

The peace of Christ be with you. Hello, I’m Father Don Oleksiak, �

diocesan administrator for the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.�

I have been greatly encouraged by so many in our Church who have

been praying and working diligently to meet the challenges we all face

during this time of crisis. As people are complying with the stay at

home order, they are praying for their families and praying for those

who are caring for others and those carrying out the essential services

we all need.�

I am so proud of our priests, deacons, religious and many lay staff

members who are providing creative ways to help the faithful stay con-

nected to the Church. I am grateful to our teachers and catechists who

continue to teach via virtual classrooms and distance learning, for those

who are feeding the hungry, and all our healthcare workers��including

doctors, nurses, EMS, fire and safety forces, pharmacists��and all those

who are on the front lines taking care of our elderly and the infirm.

There are so many people throughout the diocese who are caring for

one another. Our Church walks closely with you. Thank you�

for being patient, kind and understanding during this very stressful time.�

I have heard so many stories revealing the goodness of humanity.

Neighbors checking in on each other, folks volunteering to assist in the

feeding of the poor. One neighborhood has discovered a new way to

sustain their community in the midst of social distancing by going out

on their respective porches every night at 8 p.m. to wave, play instru-

ments and just to yell “hello” to each other. This pandemic is certainly

turning our world and daily life upside down. Maybe it will also help us

slow down and refocus on what is really important. I’m hopeful God

will continue to bless us and help us to learn something from all this. �

As my grandmother said, “If life deals you lemons, make lemonade.”�

Also, I am pleased so many are tuning in to .” In these days of trial,

while humanity trembles at the threat of the many oppor tunities

from parishes and the diocese to participate in daily Mass and devotions

as we adhere to the current Ohio stay�at�home order. Many parishes are

doing a great job reaching out to parishioners by checking on them via

phone calls and mail.�

We remain the body of Christ and I strongly encourage you to keep

connected to the Church as we continue to have hope and move forward

praying that this pandemic will pass quickly. If you need anything

please call your local parish. If you are able, please do your best to help

your parish through your prayerful and financial support. These are

difficult days for parishes, as well. Any support you can give helps keep

the Church stable and present for years to come.�

And my friends, please intensify your prayers. Pope Francis reminds us

to “Stay united. We want to respond with the universality of prayer,

compassion and tenderness.” He said, “Let us make those who are alone

and tested feel our closeness the pandemic, the Holy Father proposes

that all Christians unite their voices to heaven.�

So I invite you to join me in praying that God may hear our unanimous

prayer as we continue on the journey. May these next few weeks of

Lent truly be a preparation to celebrate the victory of the Risen Christ!

God bless you and your families.�
