How can we agree to disagree in a world that seems to be centered around oneself? Adults 40 and over are invited for a transformative evening with Theology on the Rocks West on Monday, October 13. The group will explore practical strategies to withstand the challenges of today and go on a journey of finding peace and joy in our lives. The cost is $15 per person. Light appetizers are included, and a cash bar will be available. Register is advance at www.theologyontherockswest.com.

The Anointing of the Sick will be available at 4:00 p.m. Mass on Saturday, October 18. Two priests will be available to administer the sacrament.

Forming Faith is for everyone from the time they are born until the time Jesus calls them home to his heavenly kingdom. Forming Faith is NOT just Religion classes for grades 1-8, but encompasses many other items including but not limited to CLOW- Children's Liturgy of the Word, Women Answer Yes, Men's Fellowship and Bible Study, Scripture Study, OCIA, OCIC, youth groups, A Music Class for the Little Ones (which has Faith Building and Music for ages 2-5), Virtus training, Baptismal Prep Classes, and Sacramental Prep. Forming Faith includes any adult or children faith formation, whether it is a class being offered or a program being offered, such as the mission, the 99 group, and classes being offered through the Digital Academy. Forming Faith accompanies individuals throughout their lives and through events such as the death of a family member, receiving sacraments, and visiting the sick. Forming Faith involves everyone!

All Forming Faith inquiries go to Lenore Hales.

We now have Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) at noon Mass! CLOW is a Catholic practice where children are dismissed from the main Mass during the Liturgy of the Word to hear the readings and participate in age-appropriate activities that help them understand the scriptures and connect with their faith. This allows children to engage with the Word of God in a way that is more accessible to them while their parents participate in the full Mass. If anyone is interested in helping, please contact Lenore Hales at the Parish Office. (lhales@stpeterlorain.org)
