"Put on the armor of God so that you may be able to stand firm against the tactics of the devil. For our
struggle is not with flesh and blood but with the principalities..." (Ephesians 6:11-12) This truth is clearly
evident in the struggle to defend ALL human life from conception till natural death. In order to build a
"new Culture of Life" as instructed by St. John Paul II, the armor of much prayer is essential. Therefore,
Father Frank Pavone, the National Director of Priests for Life, as well as National Pastoral Director of
Silent No More and of Rachael's Vineyard, has compiled and revised "In the Palm of His Hand" a booklet
of prayers in defense of the sanctity of human life. St. Augustine's Culture of Life has made this booklet
available for FREE at the table of life; please take advantage of this opportunity while supplies last. For
more information contact Lynn Willig @330-472-9452.

Will you have increased income as a result of the new tax changes? Perhaps you can
consider increasing your offertory contribution to our parish. Changes in the tax law
kept in place several popular and attractive charitable gifting options. Gifting
appreciated stock (held more than 1 year) to our parish may allow you to deduct the
stock’s full value and bypass capital gains tax. Also, if you are 70 ½ or older, you may
be able to reduce your taxable income this year with a gift made directly from your IRA
to our parish. Talk to your advisor and IRA administrator for more information and be
sure the gift is made directly from an IRA to a qualified charity such as our parish.
For questions, you are welcome to contact Mary Lou Ozimek of the Catholic
Community foundation at 216-696-6525 x4070 or via email at
mozimek@catholiccommunity.org.

Joyful Hearts Ministry is looking for those individuals who love their parish and want to PAY
IT FORWARD in terms of time, talent and prayer. Hmmm…so what does “that” mean? It
means that if you know in your heart that you want to serve God by serving others, then our
ministry is for you! It does not mean endless meetings or to volunteer for every event. You
choose the things that you want to do and how often. Can you give of your time in prayer? There is a
Facebook page, regular bulletin ads and occasional meetings to keep you in the loop. Please take
minute and text or call Carolyn King 330-234-7302 to get on the list. It will just take a minute and you
will be so glad you did! (*Look for us at the Welcome Booth at the Parish Picnic where we will have
the infamous sign-up sheet available )
