Dear Parishioners, This weekend is not only the 31st Sunday in Ordinary Time, but a most special weekend where IHM sentimentally recalls the deceased of this past year. The death of a loved one is never easy on us, and we want the church to uphold their memory at the 10:00am Mass this weekend and […]
Dear Parishioners, SCHOOL OPERATIONS FUNDRAISING COMMITTEE A Catholic Parish with a school always needs to do some kind of fundraising as we have never charged school parents the total cost to educate their child(ren). Historically, there has always been a “subsidy” from the church offertory to cover that remaining amount. On average in our diocese, […]
Dear Parishioners, After several bids were received, IHM selected The Geopfert Company to replace our two church air conditioning units, which one broke down last August leaving the second one “barely” operable. Those church air conditioning units were purchased and installed in 1995! The scope of the work is to remove and dispose of the […]
Dear Parishioners (who still pay State of Ohio taxes), BE AN ANGEL! I am very aware of the many requests for donations that all of us receive, and sometimes for many of us daily through the mail from various religious communities and civil organizations! Everywhere there is much-needed financial assistance for operations. BE AN ANGEL […]
Dear Parishioners, The IHM Catholic Elementary School is off to a great start. Our enrollment is 302 students in grades K -8! There are also 20 Pre-K students. We hired five new teachers due to teachers last school year needing to move out of town or have sought other professions. The school principal is Mrs. […]

Dear Parishioners, MORE HEARING ASSISTANCE COMING TO IHM CHURCH BUILDING MID TO LATE AUGUST 2023 Recognizing that nothing is perfect, I do believe IHM has a high-grade sound system in our church building, but I am aware, for some of our parishioners, there remains a difficulty in hearing during the Mass. I also recognize that […]
Dear Parishioners, Once again, I remind you about the great deal of maintenance projects which have been completed so far, this late spring and early summer. The flat roofs on the PCC and the Church have been REPAIRED while the flat roofs of the Rectory, Convent, and Priest Sacristy have been REPLACED! With the help […]
Dear Parishioners, “Discipleship On the Rock” is coming to you this summer! We all know that Jesus did not die for a powerless church, but sometimes it feels that way, doesn’t it? Would you like to see our parish more fully alive? The Eucharist is the source and summit of our faith, but is there […]
Dear Parishioners, I am always trying to find ways to benefit catholic elementary school families at IHM School with financial assistance. One new way is for you to think now on making your 2023 Ohio State Tax help IHM School with financial scholarships for the 2024 school year. When you make a gift of $750.00 […]
