Heart of the Shepard Campaign
From Rev. Charles F. Strebler, Pastor
Dear Parishioners:
I am writing you to inform you of Holy Spirit Parish’s participation in the Heart of the Shepherd (HOS) campaign in the Diocese of Cleveland. Heart of the Shepherd is a 30-million dollar ($30M), diocese-wide campaign to raise monies for the renovation of the Borromeo/St. Mary Seminary facilities, including student rooms and the chapel; fully funding the priest retirement fund; and providing for debt reduction to recently ordained priests who come out of the seminary with significant debt from educational costs.

Thoughts for Reflection
What Did the Early Christians Believe About Baptism?
08/01/22 6:29 am

Everett Ferguson, a Protestant elder, biblical scholar, and Church historian, has written what’s perhaps the definitive work on the subject, Baptism in the Early Church: History, Theology, and Liturgy in the First Five Centuries.

He who devotes himself to the study of the law of the Most High . . . will be concerned with prophecies . . . and penetrate the subtleties of parables; he will seek out the hidden meanings of proverbs and be at home with the obscurities of parables. -Sirach 39:1-3

05/16/22 3:33 am

How can the Catholic Church teach that it’s possible for us to lose our salvation when Jesus says that his sheep always hear his voice and that no one can snatch us out of his hand?
Recall that the Catechism warns of “offending God’s love” and “incurring punishment” (2090). To fear incurring the punishment of hell implies that a person can’t have absolute assurance of his salvation.
