Welcome to Our Faith Community
Advent Retreat Day Exiled Children of Eve: Isaiah and the Blessed Virgin Mary
Saturday, December 6, 2025 8:30 a.m. in Centennial Hall
This retreat will reflect on Isaiah, the “prophet of Advent,” from whom we hear a great deal in the readings at Mass in this season. We will also reflect on Mary’s example of waiting and how she saw in many ways the prophecies of Isaiah fulfilled in her own life.
We will begin the day with a continental breakfast and end with attending the vigil Mass at 4:30 p.m.
Free-will offerings are gratefully accepted.
Register online or print and complete the registration form and return it to the parish center.
Parish Photo Directory
St. Angela Merici Parish is working to establish a parish photo directory.
Sign-ups are now live on the Universal Church Directory website. We will have volunteers to sign you up in the coming weeks, but if you would like to sign yourself up, here are the steps.
1. Visit the Universal Church Directories website at ucdir.com.
2. Click on the red Photography Session Signup button on the top right side of the page.
3. You will then be asked to type in your church’s code and password. Our code is oh2913 and our password is photos.
4. You will then be taken to our schedule, where you will be able to see the appointments that are available by day. Chose a day.
5. The available appointments will then appear. Click on the time you would like.
6. Fill out the information requested. You will receive a confirmation email.
PLEASE NOTE:
The purpose of asking for your address on the sign-up form is not for it to be included in the directory itself, but so that the 8x10 picture that each family gets is sent to the residence directly. In addition, we are not including any parishioner contact information in the directory. Contact information such as phone and email is just used to secure and confirm appointments.
Also, the directory is only given to those parishioners who participate in the photography sessions. We will have a few discretionary copies for parish reference and for parishioners who did not have a chance to participate, though this amount will be negligible.
If you have any questions or concerns about this, please reach out to the parish center office at (440) 333-2133.
Adult Faith Formation: Tough Issues
This fall’s adult faith formation offering will be different than in years past. No books, no series, no worries about missing one session or another. Each session will be a stand-alone meeting on a different topic. Sometimes we will watch a video of testimonials, other times we will have a brief presentation, but we will always have time for discussion and open questions. Come learn about where the Church stands on tough, contemporary issues, and bring your questions, doubts and challenges with the teachings of Catholicism.
Join us Tuesdays at 7:00 p.m. in Centennial Hall
Weekly topics include:
October 14: Women in the Church
October 21: Homosexuality
October 28: Transgender Persons
November 4: Is Catholicism the “Best” Religion?
November 11: Artificial Contraception
November 18: Life Issues
No sign-ups or advance notice is necessary; however, if you have questions, please contact Fr. Rich at frrich@samparish.org.
