From the desk of Fr. Bob Franco
from the bulletin for August 10, 2025
The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.
Dear Parishioners,
On Friday, August 15, St. Peter and St. Julie Parishes will join the Church throughout the world and celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This is a Holy Day of Obligation. There will be Vigil Masses at 7:00 p.m. at both St. Peter and St. Julie Parishes on Thursday, August 14. Masses on Friday, August 15 are at 8:15 a.m. (St. Peter Parish), 9:00 a.m. (St. Julie Parish) and 7:00 p.m. (both parishes). With joy, let us gather to praise God for his wonders, including the Assumption of Mary.
Thank you, Kelly Reed and team, for a wonderful week of Vacation Bible School at St. Julie Parish. A variety of Alaskan wildlife (bear, otter, eagle, moose, and a king crab) taught adults, teen helpers, and VBS participants how to TRUST JESUS in all circumstances. Lessons from the bible and Catholic saints provided guidance and inspiration. Again, thank you Kelly and team for your hard work that served the youth of St. Julie and St. Peter Parishes.
A few people at St. Julie’s have asked me about the hole in the ground between the St. Peter Church and gym. After a couple of good rains, people were wondering if I would be selling pool passes. St. Peter Parish is building a social hall that will connect with an elevator and indoor steps to the church. My hope is that the project will commence soon. The paperwork is with the Diocese of Cleveland. Please pray for the success of this project, which I believe be a blessing to our whole community.
This project will change the way people enter St. Peter Church and church basement. In place of the outdoor steps there will be dry and even indoor steps that will lead to both the church and church basement. There will also be a large (hospital size) elevator next to the steps for those who want to make use of it.
Searching for and Maintaining Peace by Fr. Jacques Philippe will be the basis of a five-week book discussion that will help us cultivate the Spirit’s fruit of peace in our lives. We will meet for five weeks beginning August 27. This prayerful book discussion will deepen our trust in God and our ability to be peaceful amid the tensions and stresses of life. All are welcome. One may sign up and purchase the book (only around $8.00) through the St. Peter parish website.
There are some other great things coming up this fall for our parishes including Discovering Christ and the resumption of the First Friday Forum. See the rest of this bulletin for details.
The staffs of both St. Peter and St. Julie Parishes will be taking some time away on Wednesday [August 13] for a time of retreat. We will be gathering off campus to pray and discern our pastoral focus for this upcoming year. Please pray that the Lord would inspire and equip us, as we embrace our mission of knowing Christ, loving Christ, and serving Christ together.
In this week’s gospel, Jesus uses the image of Master/steward to describe our relationship with Him. While the Master is away, the stewards continue to serve and long for the Master’s return. In whatever our role is in the Church, let us be good stewards. We do not so much as own our lives, as manage them for the glory and honor of Jesus Christ.
In Christ,
Fr. Bob Franco
