It is absolutely imperative for the future of Catholic education that this vision and way of life is supported by family, parish, and the wider community. As a pastor, I share a hope that in our time and history, every person will come to understand and respect the dignity and value of each person. When that belief is able to resonate and echo in our community, it will also echo in our homes, in our church, and in our classrooms. The credibility of our school absolutely depends on our ability to live that reality and make it real. This is a daunting task – but one that is grounded in the faith we profess as a Catholic institution. Catholic education is about excellence in learning, excellence in living and excellence in loving – as God’s beloved. This dream is happening here at Holy Cross Academy,

Our Lady of Peace; this vision is happen-ing here at Holy Cross Academy, Our Lady of Peace – and it is this faith in

the future of Catholic education that echo’s in our lives here at Holy Cross Academy, Our Lady of Peace.

Monsignor’s Corner If I had a dream for a Catholic school, it would be that school community would mirror the life of our faith community reflecting a unique and faith filled way of life. This image would reflect an alternative way of living and learning that would validate and affirm each child that walks through our doors – as the Beloved of God.

Who was Sister Thea Bowman?

Sr. Thea Bowman

Franciscan Sister of

Perpetual Adoration

who dedicated her life

to working for the Afri-

can American Catholic

community. She was

instrumental in the cre-

ation of many Catholic

multicultural and Afri-

can American projects

such as the first edition

of Lead Me, Guide Me,

an African American

Catholic hymnal, and co-founded the Institute for Black

Catholic Studies at Xavier University in Louisiana.

School News

During the month of February, the

custodial staff will be conducting

spring cleaning. One of the goals for

our spring cleaning is to update

some of our athletic trophies that

have accumulated throughout the

years. We will be displaying some of

our older trophies for parishioners to

take for their own. At the end of

February, we will be discarding many of the older trophies

to make room for books in our Library. Parishioners may

look at these trophies in our school Library, on Saturdays or

Sundays, at the conclusion of Mass. This will continue

through the month of February.

Baptism Class

There will be a baptism class for

parents who wish to have their child

baptized in February, March before

Lent, or April after Easter. The class

will be on Monday evening, Feb. 17th

at 7:00 pm . Meet outside Seton Hall

which is located in the basement under

the Church, enter through the door in

the back. Contact Jim Naegeli at

330-452-2202 or email

[email protected] to register.

Church Overseas This weekend the Diocese of Youngstown is holding the

Church Overseas Combined Collection for ministries of

the Church around the globe. These ministries of Catholic

Relief Services, Holy Father/Peter’s Pence, the Church

in Latin America and the Church in Central and

Eastern Europe assist the Church in serving people who

are hungry, refugees, victims of natural disasters, and de-

velopment projects. Please give generously to this collec-

tion which combines four collections in one.

CRS and other agencies request special funds when natural

disasters occur. This collection supports these Church

agencies in their on-going work in long-term development,

education, leadership training and other social and pastoral

ministries

Celebration of the Eucharist and

Confirmation at

Christ the Servant

Bishop George V. Murry,

S.J., Bishop of the Diocese

of Youngstown will be pre-

siding at our parish Confir-

mation Mass, on the after-

noon of Sunday, February

23, 2014 at 2:00 p.m. Parish-

ioners are encouraged to at-

tend the ceremony. This occasion provides our young men

and women to experience the release of the Spirit. Our

young people now have the opportunity to affirm the path

of their destiny which, for a Christian, is unity with God.

We pray as a community for the awakening and awareness

of God’s unconditional love and unbounded forgiveness of

God, expressed in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. The Bishop

will consecrate each one with the words “Be sealed with the

Gift of the Holy Spirit.” This seal is a consecration, repre-

senting the continuing presence and intensification of the

Holy Spirit that was celebrated in Baptism. The Community

of Disciples gathers asking the Spirit of God to guide our

young people as disciples in their journey of faith.

Sr. Thea’s life mission was to share her rich cultural

heritage and spirituality through song, prayer, teach-

ing, preaching and writing. Although diagnosed with

cancer in 1984, she continued to give programs de-

signed to encourage communication between cultures

including this historic presentation to the U.S. Catholic

Bishops about Black Catholic Spirituality in June 1989.

THE ELDERLY NEED YOUR CARE &

ATTENTION There is no one in the community of Christ the Servant Par-

ish who needs and appreciates any care and attention that

can be given to them more than the homebound elderly.

The parish is in need of Eucharistic Ministers who are will-

ing to take the Eucharist to the homebound. Please consider

this ministry with great thought. It doesn’t take a large

amount of time and is so appreciated. If you are interested,

please call the parish office at 330.492.0757 and your name

will be given to Angie.

Also, if you are homebound and would like someone to

bring you the Eucharist or would just like someone to visit

with you once in a while, please call Angie at

330.966.2073. She will arrange someone to visit you.

All hospitals and nursing homes in our boundaries

(Bethany, Stones Crossing and Canton Christian Home)

already have volunteers who do this. If you know of some-

one in the hospital or a nursing home that has not been

visited, please call Angie and she will look into it. Thank

you!
