Urgent Call to Action: Support School Choice In a diocesan-wide effort to support parents as primary educators and support parents in having options for their children’s education, Bishop Daniel E. Thomas invites the faithful of the Diocese of Toledo to contact your state representatives and senators expressing to them support for educational choice in Ohio. Ohio’s General assembly has recently introduced legislation that would effectively eliminate one of Ohio’s school choice programs without securely funding an alternative for families. To learn more about the school choice in Ohio, please view this document: https://tinyurl.com/school-choice

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Lent is here, and hopefully, our various disciplines that will
help us search our souls and grow closer to Christ have
begun in earnest.
As you may know, this joyful season of renewal has its
origins in preparation for Baptism. The Church established
Lent, which we call the “springtime of the Church” as an
intense time of final preparation for adults who were to be
brought into the life of Christ and the family of God through
the waters of Baptism. Over time, however, the Church
recognized the value these forty days afford the baptized as
well. While the prayers of the Mass and the focus of the
season still remind us of its fundamental purpose to journey
with those preparing for Baptism, it is a time of preparation
and penance for us all, as we strive to renew our life in
Christ through the disciplines of prayer, fasting, and
almsgiving.
While our parishes are not preparing to baptize any adults
this year, we do have three candidates for full communion
with the Church through the Sacraments of Confirmation
and Eucharist. Amy Ruggiero, Nicole Villegas, and Kevin
Williamson have been studying diligently for months,
deeply discerning for years, and eagerly anticipating their
reception into the Catholic community for some time now.
This weekend, at the 11:00 Mass, we will ritually send them
from our communities for presentation to Bishop Thomas at
Our Lady, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary Cathedral in
Toledo at the Rite of Election and the Call to Continuing
Conversion at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday. For them and their
sponsors, this is a significant step towards the ultimate goal
of completing their initiation into the People of God. Please
join me in praying for them today and throughout this
Lenten Season, and let us give thanks to God for the new life
he brings to our family of faith through their presence, their
prayer, their preparation, their participation, and their
witness.
A blessed Lent to you!
Sincerely,
Reverend Scott S. Woods
Pastor
