PRAY THE ROSARY!!

Have you been troubled by the apparent loss of a just and moral society, or perhaps, some suffering in your family and wanted to help but did not know how? If you are praying the rosary, then you are already helping!

Sr. Lucy of Fatima said the following in 2002 before her death; “The Most Holy Virgin in these last times in which we live has given a new efficacy to the recitation of the Rosary, to such an extent that there is NO problem, no matter how difficult it is, in the personal life of each one of us, of our families, or even the life of peoples and nations that cannot be solved by the Rosary. There is NO problem, I tell you no matter how difficult it is, that we cannot resolve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary” - Sr. Lucy of Fatima.

If you are not already praying the daily rosary, please join all those who are!

Indiana March for Life, January 22, 2021

Every year, an average of 130,094 babies die in the Midwest because of the tragedy of abortion. Sometimes, numbers like this are incomprehensible and we don't truly take in the enormity of this loss. That's why this year for the Indiana March the Life, we are collaborating with Chicago's Moving the Movement Tour to collect 130,094 diapers for pregnancy resource centers across the Midwest.  Together, we can make a concrete difference in the life of babies and their mothers.  You're invited to bring diapers of any size (we want to help babies throughout their first year) to the Indiana March for Life on January 22. Bring 1 pack or bring 3; each and every one will be a gift to those who receive it! If you can't attend in person, there is an easy option to donate diapers online! You can designate “Indianapolis” and have your diapers donated to Life Centers, Women’s Care Center, or Birthline wedignify.givingfuel.com/mtm-diaper-drive

This is a simple, yet powerful, way to witness to the gift of life and to serve families who need our help. Join us!

Retrouvaille, (pronounced retro-vi with a long i) can help couples work through difficult struggles in their marriages that seem at times impossible to repair.

Catholic Retreat: Living the Beatitudes During This Pandemic
February 19, 2021 to February 20, 2021
Our Lady of the Holy Spirit Center, 5440 Moeller Avenue, Norwood, Ohio 45212

Jesus said, “Blest are you poor; the reign of God is yours.” (Luke 6:20) Because "the Beatitudes are at the heart of Jesus' preaching" (Catechism, 1716), they are extremely important. “The beatitudes are ‘paradoxical promises’ which confront us with decisive choices concerning earthly goods" (CCC 1717, 1728). Let us learn to live and love the Beatitudes.
