Congratulations to Maria Monsour and Simon Monsour for making
the Archbishop Hoban third quarter Honor Roll!
STATIONS OF THE CROSS Each Friday in Lent at 7pm, a different
ministry from the parish will lead the Stations of the Cross at St.
Bernard. This is a great way to reflect on the Paschal Mystery and
prepare our hearts for Easter!
PETER’S SHADOW HEALING MINISTRY St. Bernard will present a night
of healing prayer with Fr. Jacob Bearer and the ministry team of
Peter’s Shadow on Wednesday, April 10, starting at 6:30 PM. All are
welcome to come to this free event to experience the healing power
of our God, which is much more than physical healing. It
encompasses healing of the whole person: memories, emotions, fears,
anxieties, physical and spiritual.
ARTS & ENVIRONMENT MINISTRY Help Needed for decorating the
church for Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, and for Easter. Please leave
a message for Ruth Klein at 330-814-6182 or call the Parish
Office.

P AS T O R ’ S N O T E What do I do with my palms? Is a question
a lot of us ask this time of year. Practically speaking, you are
invited to bring your old palms to church with you next Sunday and
somehow the staff and I will burn them and use them for next year’s
ashes. You may also save them and burn them yourself at your next
fireplace fire or bonfire. Nothing else is required after you burn
them. More metaphorically, however, what did the first Christians
do with their palms? They waved them in the air and laid them down
at the feet of Jesus as a sign of reverence, acknowledgement, and
welcome of Him as their Savior. We still display the palms in
workplaces, homes, cars etc. as a symbol of the same realities. And
so more important than what shapes we fold palms into, (though I
love to see all the palm origami this time of year!) is, “Why do I
do what I do with my palms?” In the words of C.S. Lewis, either
Jesus is who he says he is or he is not. And if He is, He deserves
nothing less than that we surrender every aspect of our lives to
Him and truly call him “Lord.” Two more weeks of Lent to go! What
are some other parts of our lives that Jesus can be Lord of? –
Father Chris
POSTURE DURING THE LITURGY Beginning Divine
Mercy Sunday, every parish in the Diocese will be changing the
Communion Rite posture to reflect the original policy of the
Diocese, first established in 2003. We will remain standing after
the Lamb of God, throughout the distribution and reception of Holy
Communion and the singing of the Communion Hymn, until the end of
the distribution of Holy Communion. Once the last person has
received the Eucharist and the Communion Hymn ends, we may kneel or
sit for private prayer. – Bishop Nelson J. Pérez
