Confessions: Priority should be given especially the last thirty minutes of confessions to those who drive a great distance, have little children, elderly and or are disabled. Those living in closer proximity please be here early; Confessions begin at 8:00 a.m. Of course, and I think that it goes without saying, that those who live in close proximity to the church, should come for confessions on Saturday morning if at all possible.
If you or a loved one is admitted to the hospital, please let your parish priest know.
Fr. Jenkins online instructions: wcbohio.blogspot.com
Our church is dedicated to the practice of the traditional Roman Catholic religion. This includes the traditional Latin Roman Rite of Holy Mass and the sacraments. We do not regard the New Mass created after Vatican Council II to be a true Catholic Mass. Only those who regularly attend exclusively the traditional Latin Rite of Mass, who are properly dressed (see below), and are in the state of Sanctifying Grace may receive.

Some notes for The Guidance of Parents
by Father Daniel Lord S.J. (1944)
“Maybe,” the think, “we aren’t fit to handle the development of our children.” and as they are already aware of their lack of training, their unpreparedness for their job, they are easy to convince when the salesman for school supremacy is glib and persuasive.
Or if they are lazy or selfish or indif-ferent or bad parents, this popular attitude is the pleasantest excuse they can find. Gladly enough they turn their children over to the schools. They can wash their hands of all responsibility. They merely send their children on to the experts and let the experts do their proficient job.
Three Periods?
So it has happened that even good Catholic parents have often divided the lives of their children into these periods:
1. There is the period of birth and earli-est infancy. During that period parents must of necessity feed and clothe and warm and nurture their babies. They may feel incompetent, but there has as yet been developed no extensive schools in which to park infants. There will one day be those schools, never fear. But for the present both parents and infants have to wait.
2. There is the period of babyhood. This is somewhat static period. The parents wish there were some haunt of the expert to which they could send their babies. Since thee usually is no such place, parents and children wait expectantly for the arrive of the happy third period.
3. This is the instant when the child is old enough to get into some sort of school — first grade, kindergarten, pre-kinder-garten, and (most recent) classes for youngsters who are learning to walk. The happy parents sees his or her child off to school, the child toddling a bit and alarmed at this sudden expulsion from the nest.
The parents breath a sigh of real relief. They’ve done their full duty, haven’t they? At very considerable expense to them-selves and the sacrifice of a lot of luxuries they could otherwise have enjoyed, they have sent their child to an expensive school. Fine! Now let the school handle the child. The parents have no further responsibility.
So the father turns to his business, his golf, and his friends. The mother has an empty house for eight hours of the day, while the school trains her child to the full maturity which the professional educators guarantee so glibly.
Parents Alibi
Today schools become finer and finer, more complete in their control of the child, longer in the hours they take the child from home, and more of an alibi for delinquent parents. Even the Catholic parents (and I am not sure of the correctness of the word “even”) are inclined to put the whole burden of the education of their children on the school. Already they think that because religion and morality are included in the Catholic curriculum they need not worry about their own duty of teaching their children to know and love God and to honor the right and hate the evil. Let the priests and brothers and sisters in the magnificent parochial and private schools take up that duty.
And all the while the experimental facts are completely against this shifting of parental responsibility to anyone else, even to the most expert educator. The school cannot remotely take the place of the home. Teachers cannot except most inadequately take the place of the parents.
Schools Are Only Substitutes
Any intelligent child, no matter how young he is, feels the institutional character of even the best and the most modern school the intensely personal relationship of parents and children in the intimate environs of the home cannot even be imitated in school surroundings. Children recognize that and in the vast majority of cases, like Shakespeare’s immemorial schoolboy, still drag reluct-antly to school.
