I would like to take the time to update everyone on the Elementary changes for the school year! First, the front office is having a new make-over. We are placing a sick bay area in the back closet with a small restroom. This will absolutely help the secretaries monitor a sick child as they rest or wait for parent pick up. The staff work room will be moved in back of the office for easier access to supplies, etc for the secretaries. The first floor girls restroom had a complete update thanks to our maintenance man, Roger Zellner. He spent many hours lowering the ceiling, putting new flooring in, working with Monty Friebel for stall doors and counter top, etc Looks terrific. We will also update the entrance way with new doors for security. Next-The new staff members: Kylee Fliger-4 th grade, M.Ed. in Middle Childhood Education from Otterbein University. Brittany Molnar, B.S. in Early Education from BGS University-2 nd grade teacher. Beth Hostettler, B.A. in Family/Consumer Science with minor in Fine Arts from Mount Vernon Nazarene College-new art teacher. I do want to announce Ashley Rastorfer is the new Director of the Montessori program. She comes to us with an impressive background in pre-school and early elementary education. She has her Master s Degree in Administration. We do want to welcome all new teachers. I am very excited about all the new building changes and hiring excellent new teachers. I feel we are ready to start a WONDERFUL new school year. Please pray for us as we approach the school year.

Jubilee Year of Mercy Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Last Sunday s Parable of the rich fool delivered a compelling reason to do the right thing now: You fool, this night your life will be demanded of you (Luke 12:20). Today, Jesus warns us: You also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come (12:40). Though we do not know when our Master will come, we do know what our Master expects to find. Jesus expects us to be vigilant (12:37) and diligent (12:42) in our work for the kingdom, but also filled with reverent mercy toward our fellow servants and ourselves. Hopefully, Jesus warning not to get drunk and beat each other up (12:45) does not apply to us literally! But what changes do I need to make, right now, so that the many people outside the Master s house will want to come inside to experience the healing comfort of Jesus own mercy in the compassion of Jesus modernday disciples? Peter Scagnelli, Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. It is the policy of the Diocese of Toledo that the only election materials to be shared through the parishes and diocesan institutions are those that come directly from the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Ohio Catholic Conference or our own diocesan Chancery.

Dinner to Follow More info - Call Rose Mary Lang-Martin A Family Perspective - In today s Gospel a servant WAITED for the master to return. Waiting is a normal part of family life. We wait for a child s birth, then for small legs to catch up. Later we wait for teenagers to return home safely. Finally we wait alone anticipating a call or visit from an adult child. Waiting is sacred time, for even in the waiting we are connected. ~ by Bud Ozar
