November is such a busy month and it is no different at Sacred Heart School. This month, there are many Holy Days we are celebrating with our universal Church. Along with celebrating these Holy Days, please let me share how else the students at Sacred Heart School are experiencing faith-filled activities throughout this month. Along with our parishioners, our students will celebrate All Souls Day on Sunday, November 2nd. Please say an extra prayer for our recently departed parishioners and their families: Sacred Heart of Jesus, please wrap your loving arms around Keir Ode-Viala, Charles Leroy Arter, Mary Alice Biglin, Donna Newmeyer and Ronald Finnegan. These individuals believed in the love and compassion of our God. What a testimony to their earthly journey as they put their faith into action. For if we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord’s. (Romans 14:8) On November 5th, our first and second grade students will be celebrating All Saints Day. Each one of the students has picked out their favorite Saint and will dress like that individual and share details about their chosen Saint’s life. It is always nice for the students to hear why individuals were canonized, as well as how the Saints put God first in their lives. It also connects us to the “bigger” Church, and is a great way for us to remember that we are all called to sainthood. Our students had the opportunity to participate in a wonderful service project which concluded on October 31st. We had a joint venture with Catholic Charities of Mansfield who has a Veterans group that meets monthly. These men and women have bravely served our Country and part of the group goals is to help the Veterans make the transition back into their civilian communities. There have been many success stories. During a meeting the coordinator of the Veterans’ group was mentioning that she was able to get assistance for many things including food, clothing, housing and utilities. However there is not a readily available assistance for basic living needs such as toilet paper! Once I heard that, I knew our students, parents and staff would be able to assist in that area. The school staff decided that we would have a toilet paper competition between the classrooms each week for the month of October. The classroom’s teacher that brought in the most toilet paper rolls during a week would be required to wear a toilet paper hat/crown the following week. As I write this article we have brought in 980 rolls of toilet paper (with 3 more days to go)! That is awesome! We are coordinating an assembly with Catholic Charities to present the group of Veterans’ with our donation. It brought us great joy to give back to the men and women who have served our Country--We were able to put the Gospel into action. The students also loved seeing their teachers wearing the silly hats/crown! What an exciting time it is to attend Sacred Heart School! We are experiencing firsthand the importance of connecting with the universal Church, as well as demonstrating the life skills of compassion and caring by helping others in need. We are making a difference in our community!

Clothing & Toy Collection for the Crestline Community Christmas Program will begin Nov. 1- Nov 17. Bring your donations of good clean winter clothing and toys to the Parish Center entrance during those dates. Have all items clean and in good repair. No Summer clothing. Please mark the sizes on each piece of clothing with masking tape. This makes the sorting process much easier. All toys should have all pieces intact. Food items will be collected during the Pack-a-PickUp weekend at Thanksgiving time. Crawford County Right to Life will NOT have a signature ad campaign this year. They will continue to have a pro-life newspaper ad in local newspapers around the infamous Roe vs. Wade anniversary (1/22/1973). On the weekends of November 2nd and 9th, collections will be taken up to defray the cost of this pro-life newspaper ad. The suggested donation is still $5 per family. Remaining funds will be used to educate and support local pro-life efforts. This change is being made to be good stewards of the funds donated to Crawford County Right to Life. As always, thank you for all your prayers and efforts on behalf of the sanctity of life. An all you can eat Breakfast and Bake Sale is to be held at St. Francis Xavier School in Willard Ohio this Sunday, November 2nd from 8:30 - 12:30 am. The menu will consist of Bacon, Pancakes, Scrambled Eggs, Hash Browns, Sausage Gravy & Biscuits and Cereal & Beverages. All proceeds to benefit the St. Francis Xavier Youth Group. In case you have not heard there were some vehicles broken into and vandalized a couple of weekends ago in the church parking lot during the 8:30 am Mass here at Sacred Heart Parish. It is certainly unfortunate that this happened and we remind you to please lock your vehicles and do not leave valuables in sight. Thank you. Can you believe the holidays are right around the corner and will be here before we know it! Have you considered purchasing gift cards at the school for your groceries, gifts, and gift card purchases? There is no extra cost to you, and while purchasing your gift cards through us, you will accrue money that can be directly deducted from your tuition (or a family of your choice) or donated to the school. We have a Master List with over 500 vendors to choose from. Please contact Mrs. Myers at the school office if you have questions about our SCRIP program. It is run all year long, but can be especially beneficial to you at this time of year. The convenience alone (let alone money off your tuition!) may make your holidays just a little bit less hectic and more enjoyable. Please join us in welcoming Ellison Louise Rietschlin to our Catholic faith and Sacred Heart Church Family. We also Congratulate her parents Adam & Lindsay Rietschlin on the birth and Baptism of their child. PARISH CONTACTS School News… FR.

I wanted to give you an update on how things have been going so far on my seminary journey. This year, I am in 2nd Theology (4th year overall of 7 total years) at Mount St. Mary’s Seminary in Cincinnati. Some of my classes this year include Historical Books of the Bible, Homiletics (where we learn how to preach), Christology, Canon Law, Pastoral Counseling, Medical Ethics, and many other interesting topics of our faith. This past summer, I was assigned to St. Ann and St. Joseph parishes in Fremont where I helped out with migrant ministry. It was my job to deliver supplies to the migrant camps and to prepare children for their First Holy Communion. It was a great experience. During the school year, I am also helping to teach RCIA classes at a local parish in Cincinnati. If all goes well at seminary this year, next year I will be on my “Pastoral Internship” where I will take a break from studies to spend the entire year living in a parish and learning the ropes from the pastor. I have really enjoyed my time in seminary so far. Although preparation for the priesthood can be challenging, it is very encouraging to know that your prayers and support are behind me. Thank you so much for all of the encouragement over these past few years, and please know that you are in my prayers as well! God bless, Seminarian Scott Perry
