From the Pastor’s Desk
My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
I was pleased to see that some of our children accepted my
invitation to dress up as their favorite or patron saint for the
celebration of All Saints Day at the Masses last weekend.
They certainly were cute as they processed into Church at
the beginning of the Mass. Thanks go out to parents and/or
older brothers and sisters who helped them with their
costumes.
Congratulations to the 7th Grade Girls Volleyball team
who claimed the Runner-up title for the City; but, more
importantly, they were recipients of the 2015 CYO
Sportsmansip Award.
Our team was made up of 6 girls from Sacred Heart of
Jesus Academy, 1 girl from the Lyceum, l girl from Saint
Clare Parish, and 2 girls from Saint Francis of Assisi
Parish. They were chosen from among their peers who said
of them that they gave witness to the importance of team
spirit, a mutual respect for the rules of the sport and the
need to work together. They exhibited an eagerness to win
and a grace in losing. Their coaches, too, were great
examples of Christian values that far surpassed the ability
to bring to the Championship a team with fine-tuned skills.
We are proud of the way you represented yourselves and
your parish. EACH OF YOU IS A WINNER!!!
Within the last couple of weeks, we have received notice
from the Diocese that our 2014-2015 Financial Report has
been accepted. Please note that the Report is inserted into
today’s bulletin. I encourage you to read it carefully, for
the words sometimes give a better picture of our overall
vibrancy than the numbers do. If there are questions or a
need for clarification of any part of this document, please
call Tony Flowers (216.382.7601). He will be able to
provide you with the information you need to understand
the report as it is presented.
May God’s blessings be yours this week. Father Ireland

PROFESSOR OF MORAL THEOLOGY AT
ST. MARY SEMINARY
ON MEDICAL & MORAL ISSUES AT THE END
OF LIFE
The picture is of the Archbasilica of St. John Lateran. The
Basilica is the cathedral of Rome. This is not St. Peter's, but it is
the Pope's Cathedral. Also called the Church of the Holy Savior
or the Church of St. John the Baptist and St. John the Evangelist,
it was the baptism church of ancient Rome. It was built in the
time of Constantine and was consecrated by Pope Sylvester in
324.
On November 9 the Church celebrates the dedication of the
Basilica of St. John Lateran. This feast became a universal
celebration in honor of the basilica called "the mother and
mistress of all churches of Rome and the world" (omnium urbis et
orbis ecclesiarum mater et caput) as a sign of love for and union
with the See of Peter.
