BROWN SCAPULAR ENROLLMENT:

There will be an opportunity for enrollment in the Brown Scapular on Sunday, July 18th, after the 10:00 AM Mass at St. Patrick. Anyone who has not previously been enrolled in the Brown Scapular is highly encouraged to take part. This very powerful devotion to Our Lady has the potential to obtain great graces for each one of us.

We will have scapulars available, or you may bring your own.

Each step we take toward Mary is a step we take toward her Son. Take advantage of this chance to draw nearer to Jesus through the intercession of His Mother and ours!

MARIAN PILGRIMAGE

Join us for a Marian Pilgrimage this October! 

​

An idea was raised in the Marian Consecration classes this past month about organizing a pilgrimage to a few particularly unique shrines to Our Lady located in Wisconsin. We will be visiting the National Shrine of Our Lady, Help of Christians at Holy Hill (near Milwaukee), and the only Marian apparition site in the United States to have received Church approval to date--Our Lady of Good Help (near Green Bay). All are welcome!

The tentative schedule is as follows:

​

Thursday, October 7: depart at 1:00 PM. Stop at the Shrine of Christ's Passion in St. John, IN. This shrine has very moving, almost life-sized outdoor Stations of the Cross. Overnight in Milwaukee.

​

Friday, October 8: The National Shrine of Our Lady Help of Christians at Holy Hill. We will attend Mass, and have some time to explore before heading to Green Bay. Overnight in Green Bay.

​

Saturday, October 9: The National Shrine of Our Lady of Good Help. We will attend Mass on the anniversary of the apparition, as well as take a shift in an all-night prayer vigil (Friday to Saturday) commemorating the 150th anniversary of the shrine's miraculous preservation from the most devastating fire in US history.

​

We will return late in the evening on October 9.

At this point, we have several extra hotel rooms in our block, but no available spots on the bus. If you would like to come along, and are willing to drive yourself and/or carpool, you are very welcome! The extra hotel rooms will be first come, first served.

Please contact Ashley Roberts at the parish office by July 1 if you are interested!

Fatima Mass 2021

Sunday, May 16th, 2021

This year our Fatima Mass is a little bit earlier than normal. In celebration of the 200th anniversary of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati, the 2021 Fatima Mass at the shrine will be on SUNDAY May 16th!

​

This is the first day of the 33-Day Marian Pilgrimage throughout the entire archdiocese. (check out Mary2021.org for more info!) Mass begins at 1:30pm and is followed by a Marian procession from the shrine to our Holy Family Hall, where light refreshments will be served.

​

Adding to the exciting day, at the end of Mass, Father Landenwitch will be consecrating the Logan County parishes to Mary, and those from both Saint Patrick and Saint Mary of the Woods who have been participating in the consecration classes will make their personal consecrations to our Blessed Mother as well!

Please park at the church, where we have shuttles to take you to the shrine. Shuttles start at noon, and run until 3:30.

​

If you would like, please process with us from the shrine back to the hall, where light refreshments will be available. Bring your Rosary, as we will be praying on the procession back!

Rosary at the Logan County Courthouse

​

Join the 2020 Public Square Rosary Crusade!!!!!

​

America is at a historic crossroad. God is more offended than ever as people ignore Our Lady’s maternal request to “stop offending God.” As a result, America is suffering from a pandemic, rioting, looting and murder, as well as moral and societal collapse. It is urgent that we heed Our Lady’s request and stop sinning if we hope to enjoy God’s blessings and to avert His wrath. He will hear us, if we pray through the intercession of His Blessed Mother. That’s why we’re doing the 2020 Public Square Rosary Crusade.

In The Secret of the Rosary, Saint Louis de Montfort said: “Public prayer is far more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of and call down His mercy, and Holy Mother Church, guided by the Holy Ghost, has always advocated public prayer in times of public tragedy and suffering.”

Eucharistic Procession & Family Fun Day

ST. MARY OF THE WOODS CHURCH TO

OUR LADY OF FATIMA SHRINE, RUSSELL'S POINT

SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 2020 AT 4:00 PM

Mark your calendars now for our Eucharistic Procession from St. Mary of the Woods Church to the Fatima Shrine! You will not want to miss this event! We will have free food, games, activities for kids, and music at the shrine following the procession.

The American Society of Ephesus has generously provided a grant to cover all expenses for the Family Fun Day.

Eucharistic processions are a powerful way to witness to our faith in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. If Christ is truly present in the Eucharist, then why would we not process through the streets with Our lord? There are tremendous graces that flow from a Eucharistic procession. In Scripture, we hear that great crowds gathered around Christ when He entered towns, and “power went forth" from Him (Mk 5:30). Imagine how many graces will come forth from Our Lord for the people of Russell's Point!

If you have never been part of a Eucharistic procession, it is an exciting way to invigorate your faith and to witness outside the walls of the church. Now is your chance - join us with your family and friends!

In case of rain, Fun Day will be held in the Church Hall.
