Blessing of Religious Articles: On the First Sunday of the Month.
6 Day Votive Lights: The price per candle is $3.00, $70 per case; the small 8 hour votive lights are 50¢ each.
Sanctuary Lamp: If you would like to have the Sanctuary Lamp burning for the repose of soul, anniversary or remembrances, fill out a request and return. The usual donation is $15.
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)
The Irreplaceable Parent
Parents are the world’s most influential professional people.
That, like much of what we shall have to write at the beginning, is commonplace, almost axiomatic.
Yet parents are the one group of professional people who are almost never trained for their work in life.
It seems strange that people bearing the enormous responsibility that rests upon parents should be tossed into their job with almost no preparation. For the magnitude and significance of their profession is too clear t need more that a passing gesture of recognition.
Parents produce the new life of the race. Parents support and nurture that life until such tie as it is capable of becoming self-sustaining. Parents prepare the background against which will be lived the most impressionable years given to a human being. By nature and by the will of god as well as by the force of circumstances parents are the original teachers of everyone except the chance orphan or the waif who becomes immediately dependent upon charity, organized or disorganized.
Source of All
From parents, the preordained teachers, the child gets all the fundamentals of living. The gift of language is a parental gift. His first human habits are formed in imitation of his parents’ actions. If there is religion in his life, it rises in the first instance from the religious conduct of his father and his mother. Good manners or bad, a sense of morality or a primitive criminal code, the first glimmers of culture come to the child either from the direct teaching of his parents or from the conduct which the infant observes and notes for future reference.
All this is plain platitude — or it should be.
In the life of every man there are what we recognize as the male ideals. No woman can present or inculcate them adequately. It is the father who establishes the male attitude toward religion. Quite clearly in the case of those Catholic nations in which the men do not go to church, the boys give up their attendance at Mass and the frequenting of the sacraments the minutes they slip away from the strings of their mothers’ aprons. The noble attitude a boy will take toward women is about an equal blent of his love of his mother and respect he has read in his father’s conduct with women.
Even the daughter is profoundly affected by her father. His attitude toward woman may become an important ideal in the shaping of her character. She fins strength in his ideals of women’s virtues.
The Fathers Authority
Ultimately, we must never forget, the authority of the family rests with the father and not with the mother. The father is the head of the family; and though under our American customs he shares that authority generously with the mother, he cannot nonetheless completely relinquish his right to govern. As a meter of fact I don’t believe that the normal woman likes her husband to relinquish that right. I have never know a woman who in her heart of hearts did not want her husband to be her intellectual, physical, and even — where possible — her religious and social superior. Women are far more comfortable when they are looking up to a man that when they are looking down on him.
American Mothers
Mothers in Our country have had the task of the training of children laid quietly and finally in their laps. And at the same time they have found problems entirely in their own realm as mothers. There is the developed contempt for motherhood that is so frankly and widely expressed. Almost any other career is regarded as superior to that of motherhood. The woman who produces a novel looks down her nose at the mother who has only three lovely children to show as her achievements.
