St. Mary Magdalene Parish Mission Statement

In order for Father Ted to focus on some personal issues, among them the recent sudden death of his brother, he is currently on an extended vacation and residing with family. He will be away from St. Mary Magdalene in order to rest and to address his health needs.

The Diocese of Cleveland continues to work closely with our parish staff in order to provide assistance for liturgical and other pastoral needs. Priests in our area will be assisting at the parish in Father Ted's absence.

While Father Ted is away, the parish staff may need to make some adjustments to our calendar for the remainder of the month. Please be sure to consult this website and the Sunday bulletin for any changes.

Father Ted extends his sincere appreciation for your prayerful support while he takes some time to address his own needs.

Seeing Lent with New Eyes:
A Series of Reflections on the Gospels

Tuesday evenings from 7-8pm in the Church
All are Welcome!

March 11
The Transfiguration

Jesus was transfigured in front of Peter, James, and John. We, too, are called to be transformed. We are called to rise, to cast aside fear, and to be changed. Through stories and song, Mary Lou Beers helps us reflect not only on Jesus’ transfiguration, but on our call to be transformed.

March 18
The Woman at the Well

A Samaritan woman experiences an incredible meeting at the well, where Jesus promises that “whoever drinks the water I shall give will never thirst...” We are people of this water – it is water that nourishes, cleanses, and refreshes us. Join Mary Hrich and Bob Soeder for an evening of inspiration, reflection, and music focused on the waters of eternal life.

March 25 
The Healing of the Man Born Blind

The Lord anointed the eyes of the blind man – he went, he washed, he saw, and he believed in the one who was sent to heal. Some said it wasn’t the same man, but another who just looked like him! How changed are we when we see through new eyes? Do we accept this change in others? In ourselves? Laurie Jurecki leads this evening of reflection, prayer, and song where we explore the areas of blindness in our lives and what that blindness means for us.

April 1
The Raising of Lazarus

“Untie him and let him go.” Jesus frees his cousin and friend from the darkness and restrictions of the tomb. What restricts us from living a life that is filled with the light and freedom that enables us to love like God?  Deacon Carl Toomey leads this evening of reflection, where we will celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Multiple confessors will be available.
