Dear Parishioners,

Father Ralph Thomas leaves on Wednesday morning, July 1st, 2020 for his long-awaited hip replacement surgery. As he explains his relief to be FINALLY getting the hip replacement he likewise has some trepidation about “going under the knife”! Any surgery causes anyone to have some fear.

Father Thomas has already had the other hip replaced several years ago and in the last three years both knees replaced! Our guess is that he will be walking and dancing for years to come after his rehab!

After the surgery He will have rehab at Regina Health Center for maybe a month. Time and healing will tell. Keep Father in your prayers. If you so desire to send a card:
Father Ralph Thomas
c/o Regina Health Center
5232 Broadview Road
Richfield, Ohio 44286

I have asked Father McCann to help out for Masses during the week and on the weekend. I am very grateful for his health and ability to serve IHM as we wait for Father Thomas’s return!

Many blessings,
Father Jim
