2 Dear Parishioners, FJB s Blog Happy last Sunday of June! Time flies when you are having fun :-). I feel like Fr. Tim, Fr. Thom, and I have established a routine with my leading two parishes and relying on the two of them to assist me. Fr. Tim and Fr. Thom are so appreciative of all you did to welcome them and help them to feel a part of the community. Both are very excited to get to know you better and minister to and with you. They have shared with me that both parish communities impress them as loving, down to earth, and welcoming. They are both full of parishioners focused on growing in relationship with Jesus Christ. While I will be writing a separate letter for each parish each weekend, I do feel there may be a few times when I want to share a joint message. This is one of those weeks. I wanted to recap where we are in the shared pastorate for both SRW and SJC. On Tuesday evening, June 5, the Diocese of Cleveland hosted a presentation at our church about the Shared Pastorate model planned for St. John of the Cross and Ss. Robert and William Parishes. The history and growth of the Catholic Church in Euclid after WWII was reviewed, as well as the decline in the population in the 1990s and 2000s. We recapped the mergers that occurred in Euclid in late 2009 and early Today, there are three strong Catholic communities in Euclid that serve an expansive region; but the population has been shrinking by 9.2% since Although SJC is the smallest with 707 households compared to SRW with 1,601, the goal of the diocese is not to close or merge parishes, but to share some of our resources. Each parish will remain its own canonical and legal entity. At the meeting the diocesan representatives informed all present that the main goal is to maintain each parish while making us more efficient to best serve the people. So, for the first time, the diocese is evaluating a pastoral group model to address the growing shortage of clergy and rapidly changing demographics. The plan is to install me as pastor of both parishes and to share two parochial vicars, Fr. Thom and Fr. Tim. Fr. Ed Mehok will continue to serve SJC. The parishes will continue to operate separately with their own staffs and ministries but will partner in celebrating the Sacraments and providing parochial education. The Diocese is very encouraged by the unique good works of each parish and urges us to remember that we are not just volunteers, but disciples of Christ. To that end, I would like to invite you to a Town Hall Meeting with me. It will be just me. No staff will be there. As pastor (or future pastor) I just want an opportunity to listen to your comments, respond to your questions/concerns, and share a little bit of how we can enter into a process at each parish to celebrate the last 10 years of our parish and plan for the next 10 years. These meetings will happen at the end of July. Watch the bulletin for more details. I have said it before and I will say it again, thank you, thank you, thank you for all your love and support. Thank you for your willingness to think outside the box and help continue to grow two strong Catholic parishes in Euclid and the surrounding communities. I look forward to journeying with you as we make great things happen! Make it a great week! See you in Church. Peace, Fr. John

3 THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! To all of our amazing cooks, bakers, servers and more who helped make the whirlwind of receptions we had this past month such a success. Fr. Louis Carey, Fr. Mike Feldtz and Fr. Scott Goodfellow thank you as well do I. You all really came through and allowed us to celebrate our parish and these great men. Your dedication is very appreciated. Fr. John IRISH PALLOTTINE FATHERS MISSION APPEAL On the weekend of June 30 July 1, Fr. Mariano Pinasco, S.A.C. will visit the parish to speak at all Masses about the missionary work of the Irish Pallottine Fathers in Tanzania, Kenya, and Colombia. The Pallottine Fathers were founded in Rome in 1835 by Saint Vincent Pallotti. He was a priest in the Diocese of Rome. He founded this religious community to encourage the apostolate of the laity and to promote the missionary work of the Church. Father Pinasco is a Professor of Church History at the Pallottine Institute in Santa Maria, Brazil. He is a native of Argentina. He holds a Doctorate in Church History from Gregorian University in Rome. The second collection that weekend will support the Pallottine s work of evangelization and development. Please be generous in your support of their missionary outreach. In the fall of 2020, Fr. Scott Goodfellow will be leading a Passion Play pilgrimage. In talking about the trip, Fr. Scott says, My favorite hobby is home brewing, which my dad and I have been doing together since Together we ve made dozens of different kinds of ales and lagers. Naturally, we would like to visit breweries & churches on this pilgrimage since brewing & Catholicism are such prominent parts of these cities we will be visiting. I hope my experience as a priest & brewer will help you enter into the gifts of this trip more deeply. The highlights of this trip are threefold: spiritual, historical, and flavorful. Spiritually, we will be celebrating Mass each day as we prepare for the Passion Play at Oberammergau. Historically, we will visit many churches, monasteries, castles, and cities, as well as experience a nearly 400 year-old Passion Play tradition. Flavorfully, we will be taking some brewery tours and tasting many beer varieties from some of Germany s and Austria s finest breweries. More than anything, this trip is a celebration of our humanity in all its richness: faith, tradition, and joy. As we prepare for Jesus Passion at Oberammergau, we will no doubt be filled with much gratitude for His sacrifice and the gifts He wants us to receive from Him! For more information and registration go to: What makes our International Family Festival so successful each year is the efforts of our wonderful parishioners.

4 SPIRITUAL Women s Fellowship How is the Trinity working in your life? Women s Fellowship has recently added a new element to our meetings: We would love for you to share with your sisters in Christ, in a few sentences, recent happenings in your life when God has answered your prayer, offered guidance, or given comfort. We know He accompanies us daily so keep those times in mind and heart. Share that moment at a future meeting as the Spirit moves you. It will enrich us all. See you the 2nd Saturday of each month from 9:00-11:00 am in the Upper Hall.

SRW Rummage Sale and SJC Second Blessings Sale For a number of reasons we have decided to discontinue the SRW Rummage Sale that we usually hold in July. We want to thank everyone who has contributed to it over the years and all who worked it. We very much appreciate your help. Over the time we had it at SRW, we raised close to $30,000 for the parish. We know a lot of people liked to donate things to the sale so they could "declutter" and simplify their lives and homes. We encourage you to donate your items to St. John of the Cross Second Blessings Sale. SJC is now accepting donations for their Second Blessings Rummage Sale. They will accept your gently used treasures including houseware and kitchen items, clothing, furniture, and toys. Please note, they cannot accept upholstered furniture, tube televisions, or any broken items. You may drop your items off every Saturday, 9:00 am-1:00 pm at the Parish Community Center, 140 Richmond Rd. The sale will be September 8 & 9. If you have any questions, please call Thank you.
