From the desk of Fr. Robert Franco
from the bulletin for August 9, 2026
The most recent message from Fr. Bob is always available in the bulletin.
Dear Parishioners,
​
The Auto-O-Rama has been the venue of some unique events in its 61-year history. However, I believe this was the first time that a large outdoor Mass, followed by a picnic, circus acts and face painting were combined with a movie!
​
I am grateful to Deacon Del, who lent his expertise to organizers from the Avon Catholic Community (Holy Trinity and St. Mary’s), St. Julie Parish, St. Peter Parish and other parishes in planning this wonderful event. I am also grateful to God. The rain stopped in time for Mass and the clouds kept us from becoming uncomfortably hot. A good time was held by all!
​
Last Wednesday potential Catholics from North Ridgeville and beyond met for an orientation to the Order of Christian Initiation of Adults (OCIA). We learned a bit about each other’s story and the process of becoming Catholic. We will continue our journey of faith on Wednesday, September 2nd at 7:00 PM at St. Peter School. Walk-ins are welcome. In the meantime, if you are interested in becoming Catholic or simply have questions about the faith, please contact me or Sr. Sean (440-327-2201).
​
This Saturday is the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Because this solemnity falls on a Saturday, it is not a Holy Day of Obligation. However, to honor our Lady, St. Peter Parish will be having Mass at 9:00 AM. All are welcome. St. Julie Parish will be hosting the Men’s Fellowship Breakfast that morning at 8:20 AM. All men are welcome for that event!
​
St. Peter School has its Spirit Sunday on August 16 at 1:00 PM. Parents and students will gather in the gym and then visit their classrooms. North Ridgeville Public Schools and St. Peter Catholic School begin on Thursday, August 20th. Students are starting to think, “The end is near!” Though summer break is ending, the goodness of school is beginning! And don’t forget: the blessing of backpacks will take place at both parishes on the weekend of August 22-23rd.
​
The St. Julie Anniversary Mass and picnic will be at 11:00 AM on Sunday, August 23. If you would like to assist with this event by passing out invitations, setting up, cooking, cleaning up, etc., please contact Beth at the St. Julie Office (440-327-1978).
​
St. Peter Office is need of a part-time secretary. This position consists of two days a week (normally totaling 12-16 hours). Interested parties may apply at the St. Peter Office.
​
This weekend’s gospel shows us Jesus walking on water and saving the sinking apostle Peter. The apostles’ response was one of reverential amazement: Those who were in the boat did him homage, saying, “Truly, you are the Son of God.” (Matthew 14:33)
​
“Walking on water” has become a metaphor that describes a person who is able to navigate through and rise above the stormy waters of daily life. I pray that we first profess with the apostles that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. By his grace, may we learn to navigate the storms of life with peace and wisdom.
​
In Christ,
Fr. Bob Franco
As seen from in our church!
