SAY (St. Augie's Youth) events:

We are to weekly events!  Join us for our first formation series, Created and Claimed, a video on identity and Christian anthropology.  St. Francis of Assisi once asked "Who are you God? And who am I?"  It is in coming to know more about God that we come to know our own identity more deeply. This study explores what it means to be human and how to live out our identity in relationship with God.

• Save the date for our high school lock-in on Friday, March 20th!  8th graders are invited.

Diocese of Toledo Snow Emergency Policy

With the winter season upon us, please keep in mind the policy for Level 3 Snow Emergencies, established in 2014:  "Whenever a county/city within the Diocese of Toledo is placed under a Level 3 Snow Emergency, during which all roadways are closed to non-emergency personnel, the Catholic Churches within that geographic region will cancel the scheduled Saturday Vigil, Sunday, or Holy Day Masses.  Roman Catholics in that region, therefore, are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass.  If Masses are cancelled, Catholics are encouraged to participate in Holy Mass via television, radio, or internet, making a spiritual Communion.  When Mass is cancelled, all other diocesan, parish, or school events in that geographic region are also cancelled."  

People should always use prudential judgment when traveling.  Stay safe and warm.
