Fridays during Lent are obligatory days of abstinence. Abstinence from meat is required from age 14 and onwards. Fasting is required from age 18 until age 59, unless there is a medical reason not to. When fasting, one is permitted to eat one full meal, or two smaller meals that together are not equal to more than a full meal. These are the normal requirements, please use your own good judgment during COVID. Father Cyr will be leading Stations of the Cross every Friday at 5:15pm throughout this Lent season.

God is Mercy! We are all called to be instruments of mercy. The Blood of the Cross washes away sins. Mercy brings great joy as it removes guilt and sin. Joy is found at church; this joy that Jesus gives is everlasting. Stark County offers two of the most beautiful churches in the Peoria Dioceses, come take a look! Join us for Mass. The Eucharist and all the sacraments are a concrete experience of grace: the touch of God. Contact us any time to schedule a wedding or baptism or Confession. Through social media and this website, we hope to capture the attention of all those seeking Truth and Peace. Material possessions and earthly pleasures are empty pursuits. Jesus loves you!
Our parishioners pray the Rosary together and practice other devotions to the Saints. Many children are altar servers, giving them a closer experience of the Holy Mass and an opportunity to assist the priest. Learn More
