Pennies for Peace Update
The young disciples who were part of the Faith
Formation Summer Institute participated in the incredibly popular “Pennies
for Peace” contest during both weeks of the Summer Institute (as noted in
last week’s bulletin). Proceeds of the PENNIES FOR PEACE project will be
given to the Thea Bowman Center-an inner city ministry serving many of the
poorest and most disenfranchised people living in the Diocese of Cleveland,
in relationship with Epiphany Parish and St. Cecelia’s Parish. The Vibrant
Parish Life Clustering Process has newly engaged the Church of Saints Cosmas
and Damian in the life-saving, life-changing ministries provided at the Thea
Bowman Center. The Pennies For Peace project grew from this emerging
relationship and a powerful belief within the parish community that our call
to serve and care invites us to grow in our connection to the Thea Bowman
Center community. We are extremely proud to announce that grades 1-5 raised
a total of $1569.94. Grades 6-12 raised $1504.90 by the end of their week.
Our total Summer Institute contribution to the work of the Thea Bowman
Center will total, then, $3,074.84. What a miraculously beautiful gift!
THANK YOU to all who supported this competition and this ministry.
Thank You
The family of Raymond J. Mattie would like to
thank Father John Singler, Deacon Ed Chernick and all of the parish for
their support and prayers.
Thank you,

“With heartfelt gratitude to all of you who
supported me on my “surgical journey” with your prayers, cards, calls and
meals, I thank you. I couldn’t have done it without your help. May God
richly bless you. Phil 1:2-3

Summer Institute Thanks
Many, many thanks to everyone who helped make
the Faith Formation Summer Institute 2008 our most amazing and successful
year ever! Nearly 225 students gathered to be formed, informed and
transformed in two fast-paced, intensive weeks of faith formation. Please
see the bulletin insert for lots more news, information and reviews of the
Summer Institute’s many celebratory moments!
Thank You
I would like to thank you all for the many
prayers, cards, etc. that I received during my recent surgery. The new knee
will enable me to do more miles of ushering at church and handing out the
church bulletins. God bless you all.
Sincerely,
Thomas V. Niewulis
St. Vincent de Paul Society
Thanks to this generous parish! Despite the
economic problems that so many of you face but remembering others are in
need and are hurting now, the 5th Sunday collection for the St. Vincent de
Paul Society was a record. No one here can measure the good that you do and
the lives you affect but the One who loves the poor does. And again we
repeat: if you are in need of aid call us.
