Thanks!! FYI: 2018 Income Tax laws have changed. Check with your tax preparer because some charitable deductions are no longer valid. I will only be printing contributions for 2018 upon request. This is a cost saving measure for envelopes, paper and ink as many do not use these statements. Contact the office if you would like your copy. Thanks! Snow Emergencies: If any of our counties (Lucas, Henry, Fulton, or Wood) declare either a Level 2 or 3 we will cancel our scheduled services. We will attempt to put the cancellation information on Channel 11 WTOL and Channel 13 WTVG. However, on the weekends television stations have short staffs and so the cancellations may not go up on time for our classes. This is different than the Diocese policy that mass can be cancelled only for Level 3. This is due to our parishioners/teachers coming from a wide area, and road conditions can be different in different counties. We will not wait until a Level 3 to cancel! If Masses are cancelled, Catholics are encouraged to participate in Holy Mass via television, radio, or internet, making a spiritual Communion. Any questions call the parish office at 419-669-2223. Heartbeat of Toledo Baby Bottle Campaign: Help Heartbeat of Toledo make a difference in the lives of Toledo-area moms and babies by participating in their baby bottle campaign.

No bottles will be accepted after Feb. 3. For more information on Heartbeat call 419-241-9131 or visit www.heartbeatoftoledo.org.
