KELBLEY APPOINTED TO DIOCESAN PASTORAL COUNCIL
Joe Kelbley was recently appointed to the Diocesan
Pastoral Council for a three-year term, effective
immediately. Bishop Daniel Thomas appointed him the
representative for the St. Francis of Assisi Deanery due to
his dedicated service to the St. Wendelin community.
The Diocesan Pastoral Council provides an invaluable
service to the diocesan bishop and the local church by
offering counsel, making informed decisions, and in
facilitating information exchange between the Office of the
Bishop and the 15 deaneries that make up the Diocese of
Toledo. Congratulations!

have recently been approved. If a member goes between six
months and three years without paying dues, there will be
an additional fee of $2 added to current dues in order to
reinstate membership. There will also be a 90 day waiting
period to participate in club drawings and/or scholarships.
If dues have not been paid for a period longer than three
years, the former member must apply for new membership
with current dues and an application fee in order to be
reinstated at the next meeting.
MEETING: The Ladies Auxiliary #1197 will hold its
next meeting Tuesday, February 7th at 7:00 AM at the club.
Members are encouraged to attend.
POPE FRANCIS’ FEBRUARY PRAYER
INTENTION: COMFORT FOR THE AFFLICTED
That all those who are afflicted,
especially the poor, refugees, and
marginalized, may find welcome and
comfort in our communities.
LEVEL 3 SNOW EMERGENCY GUIDELINES Whenever a county/city within the Diocese of Toledo is
placed under a Level 3 Snow Emergency, during which all roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel, the Catholic Churches within that geographic region will cancel the scheduled Saturday Vigil, Sunday, or Holy Day Masses. Catholics in that region, therefore, are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass. If Masses are cancelled, Catholics are encouraged to participate in Holy Mass via television, radio, or internet, making a spiritual Communion. When Mass is cancelled, all other diocesan, parish, or school events in that geographic region are also cancelled.
FELLOWSHIP SUNDAYS We are in need of individuals,
couples, families and groups to host Fellowship. There is no cost and it is a great way to meet new parishioners and renew old friendships. Call 419-435-6692 for details.
HAVE YOU BEEN FORMED? It is a gateway to some of the best Catholic teaching
videos, books and audio talks to deepen your relationship with Christ and His Church. It’s all in one place, accessible on most devices! Access is easy. Register at FORMED.org, then enter the parish code: 9MFYXP. These materials are a great source of faith!
NEW CHILDREN’S CONTENT NOW AVAILABLE!
BLOOD PRESSURE SCREENINGS Blood Pressure Screenings will
be offered the second Sunday of
each month after all Masses in the
Parish Hall through the month of
April. The next opportunity is on
February 12th.
