(St.

Augustine Church, Barberton, OH) (February 9, 2014) Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time Today we celebrate World Marriage Day. Relationships die from neglect or harsh criticism. At least five positive interactions are needed to balance one negative interaction. Be light and salt in your family by saying that kind word with a note or gift. Go the extra mile in helping with family chores. Give encouragement rather than criticism. Let those you love hear and see that love! Do not neglect your own.

2014 First Step Programs: Continuing education regarding marriage and divorce in the Catholic Church - Attempting to pick up the pieces of ones life after the tragedy of divorce is complex and demanding. One of the significant issues that a person faces is their place in the Church. Does the Church still care about me even though I am divorced? Am I allowed to go to Mass? Can I receive communion? How can the Church help me heal? If I decide to marry again, what do I have to do? The Tribunal of the Diocese of Cleveland is continuing to offer its very successful First Step Program in order to help individuals deal with these questions. The Churchs teachings on marriage, divorce, and remarriage are often misunderstood. This program is offered to help everyone, especially those who have experienced divorce, learn more about Catholic teaching in these areas. For more information check our website: www.dioceseofcleveland.org/tribunal or call the Tribunal at 216-696-6525/800-869-6525, ext. 4000

The 2014 Catholic Charities Annual Appeal invites us to reflect on what it means to be One in Christ. For Catholic Charities and its many supporters, we are one by; making sure that people who are hungry and homeless receive food and shelter, provide skilled care that focuses on the emotion, social and spiritual needs of people who are elderly and chronically ill, help families in crisis gain strength through counseling and emergency services, assist disabled children and adults with social and recreational activities, life skills training and in-home personal care. Many parishioners received a letter in January, inviting them to support the Annual Appeal. Please prayerfully consider increasing your pledge of support to Catholic Charities as it continues the mission of Jesus by responding to those in need. We invite you to view the Catholic Charities Prayer, stories of inspiration and more at www.catholiccommunity.org/2014Appeal The second Women of Grace study (not to be confused with the St. Augustine Women of Faith group) is about to start. This 8-week study is based on the Bible and the Catechism of the Catholic Church. There are a few openings, for those interested contact Pat Shea at 330-825-4659 or Therese Harper 330-7605780 to receive the day and time of the next study.
