MORE ABOUT DOROTHY DAY – WHO IS SHE? Dorothy Day is one of 3 Americans that Pope Francis singled out when he visited the United States. (The other two were Martin Luther King, Jr. and Thomas Merton).

AT RESURRECTION PARISH– MARCH 8, 2017 – 7:00PM – DON’T MISS IT!
The 2017 Catholic Charities Annual appeal is underway with an in-pew commitment process taking place this weekend. This is not a special collection; rather, the Catholic Charities Annual Appeal represents the chance for all Catholics to make a significant pledge, payable in installments, to Catholic Charities, Diocese of Cleveland in order to support its mission of a society that stands united in its support of the “least among us.” Many parishioners have received a letter from Bishop
Thomas requesting their support. If you have not received this letter, please respond to the in-pew commitment process today! If you have received the mailing, please respond to it. There is a box on the envelope to indicate that you have responded by mail. Your support of the 2017 Catholic Charities Annual Appeal helps us to carry out the mission that Jesus entrusted to us: “I say to you, whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” Please consider a generous gift that will change the lives of the 400,000 who are served each year in Northeast Ohio.

Sacrament of Reconciliation Saturday at 4:30 PM or by appointment
Dear Parishioners, A number of you might remember Fr. Deogratias Ruwaainenyi who was a member of Resurrection Parish while he was studying for the priesthood for the Diocese of Cleveland. He came to the United States from Tanzania in Africa. He was ordained in May of 2006 and celebrated his first mass here at the parish. He is presently serving as chaplain of Fairview Hospital. Deogratias became a United States citizen on Friday, February 3, 2016. Congratulations Deo!!!! Speaking of Parishioners, a number of people have asked how Jennifer Berridge, CSJ is doing. Jennifer continues in formation for the Sisters of St. Joseph and is presently living in Wheeling, West Virginia. Jennifer was home this past Christmas and served as a Eucharistic Minister for one of our Christmas masses. She is enjoying ministry and life with her religious community. Please continue to keep Jennifer in your thoughts and prayers. Enclosed in this week’s bulletin is a flier listing all of the seminarians from Borromeo and St. Mary studying for the Diocese of Cleveland. I thought you might find it of interest. I encourage you to pray for those in formation for the priesthood, religious life and lay leadership, as well as to pray that God will continue to call women and men to service for our Church. Finally, I ask you to pray for Pope Francis as he discerns who might best serve as the next Shepherd of the Diocese of Cleveland. Have a blessed week. Fr. Tom Dragga
The parish Ministry of Presence volunteers visit the sick and homebound, whether for a short time of recuperation or long-term. If you or someone you know would like a visitor to bring communion, or just to spend a little time in visiting and prayer, please contact the parish office. Those who have been involved in this ministry in the past - if you’ve borrowed one of the small holders for communion, called a pyx, from the parish, and it’s sitting at home, we’d be grateful for its return so that other volunteers can borrow them. Thank you!

Becoming Human As part of our continued study on Becoming Human, we would like to concretely visualize individually and as a parish family our dreams, hopes and intentions for ourselves, our families, communities, country and the world. We hope that by creating this sacred space to dream together as a community, we will be inspired and motivated to bring to life in our thoughts and actions a new understanding of what it means to be human in the best sense as modeled by the Incarnation of Jesus. We invite you to help create our vision board by adding pictures, photos, drawings, cards, words, quotes, stickers, or anything else that would symbolize your dream and commitment to creating a world that respects the dignity of each member of our human family. There will be markers, crayons, magazines and scissors for cutting out images, and glue sticks available to use. Feel free to bring things in from home to add to this Community Prayer. We hope that everyone in the parish will contribute to this visual reminder of who we are and how we want to walk in the world. These prayers dreams and hopes will be used as part of our examination of conscience at our communal reconciliation service.
(4) We commit ourselves to serve others and reach out to the poor in response to their needs. Our work for justice extends to advocating with integrity for positive change in society and the Church.
For Teens Coping with Cancer This annual event enables teens to attend their very own prom. It is a magical night out away from hospitals, sick beds, and hovering parents, at no cost to patients and families. The support of caring companies, organizations and individuals through donated or discounted goods, services, contributions, and time make it possible.
It all starts with the annual Dress Drive & Dress Extravaganza For your convenience you can drop your items off at Church of the Resurrection during the month of February. A box is located in Trivison hall to place your gently used prom attire.
IMPORTANT PARTNER UPDATE! The American Red Cross remains in the midst of a severe blood shortage and has issued an emergency call for blood and platelet donations. Ice, snow, and subfreezing temperatures in many states have led to blood drive cancellations.
