Stations of the Cross

We will be praying the Stations of the Cross each Friday at 5:00 pm during Lent: Please consider setting aside what will be less than an hour of time to pray and reflect on the Lord’s passion, where we are reminded of the meaning and purpose that his love and sacrifice have in our lives.  We challenge you to bring a friend who may have never experienced the grace of humility gained by these prayers and reflections.

End of year donations to the church:

The end of 2023 is quickly approaching, but you still have time to make a tax deductible donation or gift to the church.

All 2023 tax deductible donations must be postmarked or received in the parish office no later than Dec. 31, 2023.

Collection envelopes: All envelopes and donations received in the New Year’s Eve collection will be recorded in 2023. All collection envelopes and donations received in the New Year’s Day collection will be recorded in 2024.

Scammers pose as priests in texts/emails:

Have you received text messages, emails, or messages through Facebook messenger from someone claiming to be your pastor and asking for money or gift cards, indicating it’s an emergency? Don’t give. It’s not your pastor. It’s a scam. Your pastor will never contact a parishioner directly with an emergency request for cash or gift cards. Messages asking parishioners to help fulfill a need would come through the parish’s or the diocese’s official communication channels or be accomplished through a collection approved by the diocese. In addition, please note that neither your parish nor the diocese will ever sell or give away parishioners’ personal information.

If you’re not sure about a text or email you’ve received, do not respond. Call your parish office right away to notify a staff member. You can also file a report through the Federal Trade Commission’s Complaint Assistant which helps the FTC detect patterns of fraud and abuse by going to reportfraud.ftc.gov. The email that Fr. Dave uses is dcirata@toledodiocese.org. The email that Fr. Jason uses is Jdsouza@stjohndefiance.org.
