It’s Respect Life Month! Join Catholics nationwide in celebrating. Visit respectlife.org/celebrate An old Irish proverb says, ‘It is in the shelter of each other that the people live.’ Indeed, we are created to depend upon one another and walk together in suffering. But when family members or friends approach life’s end, we may not know how best to ‘shelter’ them. Here are some concrete ways we can compassionately care for them: usccb.org/end-of-life-care.

Social Concerns Voting as a Faithful Citizen

Forming Your Conscience to Prepare for the Election While the heat of campaign season is upon us, the November election will come quickly. As Catholics, we are called to be faithful citizens and engage in elections.

Now is a good time to start preparing by first forming your conscience in accordance with Church teaching before you research candidates or issues.

The first step is living a life rooted in prayer, scripture, sacraments, and study.

Prayer: How often do I pray? How might the Lord be calling me to deepen my prayer life with Him?

Scripture: How often do I pray with or read Sacred Scripture? How might the Lord be calling me to spend more time with His Word?

Sacraments: How often do I frequent the Sacraments? How might the Lord be calling me to encounter Him more often in the Sacraments, particularly in Holy Communion and Confession?

Study: In what ways do I seek to grow in my understanding of the Catholic faith and what I profess to believe? How might the Lord be calling me to deepen my understanding of the faith, and in what ways can I do that?

Want To Get Involved?

Here are a few ways to help out at SEAS that take only a fraction of your time.

Please consider:

Prayer Team: Get texts on occasion to pray for those who are ill or experiencing difficult situations.

Social Concerns: Offer your ideas on getting involved in our community for the sake of others.

Ministries at Mass: Become an Usher, Lector, Server or Eucharistic Minister once a month.

Volunteer for: gardening, cleanup, decorating… the things that come up once a year, or so.

Call the parish office 440-236-5095 or email elizabethcolumbia@dioceseofcleveland.org if you would like to be involved.

You be glad you did!
