Today was the start of a new event being offered monthly by St.
Joan of Arc Parish in Powell, Ohio. On the fourth Wednesday of each
month a priest from St. Joan of Arc will celebrate Holy Mass at the Inn
at Olentangy Trail Senior Assisted Residence and our music program will
be involved with providing music for the Mass. Today, Father Jeffrey
Tigyer and I, along with two parishioners, went and prayed the Mass
along with several residents.
In the future, it is our hope that we can form a small choir to bring with us to sing at these Masses. If you know anyone who is available during the day and might be interested in praying with these seniors and leading them in song, please contact me for further information.
Catholics are called to be Pro Life and to respect all life. I can think of no better way to show our seniors that we respect and care for them than offering Holy Mass for those who cannot make the trip to St. Joan of Arc. In addition, music can lift our hearts and minds to God and edify us – so the gift of music being offered at these Masses is essential. I thank our Pastor, Father Raymond Larussa, for starting this ministry that will bring the Word of God and the Body of Christ to our friends at the Inn at Olentangy Trail. Keep their residents, and all senior citizens, in your prayers.
God bless,
Matthew J. Meloche
