The Bells of St. Mary

April 27, 2025 | #265

My Friends,

When I was a student in Rome, I would stand on the steps of St. Peter’s Basilica and wonder how much time Jesus would have spent there. It is not quite how I would picture him in my reading of the gospels. While I was in awe of the beauty of the basilica, I don’t think that is how Jesus would have spent his time and money.

…and Jesus said…Feed The Hungry

We will be providing dinner to the St. Elizabeth Center in Lorain on Saturday, May 17^th. If you can supply a pasta with meat dish, dessert, rolls or salad please call Maryann 440-822-7925 by Wednesday, May 14^th and thank you!
