Project Red Cord is a monthly street outreach. Team members setup tables along the sidewalk in an area of Cleveland to offer various support, personal hygiene and food to people being trafficked, homeless or impoverished. They work with the Renee Jones Empowerment Center, a non-profit group that helps women who are ready to leave the trafficking lifestyle. Here are ways that you can be of support: Donate individually bagged items like cookies, chips, sweet or salty snacks, candy, bottled water, brown bags, baggies ~ Write simple ‘thinking of you’ notes that will be included in the bagged lunches ~ Pray for the success of the outreach efforts. The next Project Red Cord events are: Oct. 17, Nov. 21 & Dec. 19. Donated items – food or notes – should be dropped-off in the Kitchenette off the Gathering Area at Holy Angels the day before by 1:00 pm. For more information contact Donna Angelotti at angelottidonna@gmail.com
“For when I was hungry, you fed me.” Volunteers from the parish travel to St. Patrick’s Hunger Center in Cleveland about 4 times each year to prepare and serve a meal. Volunteers are needed to prepare, serve and clean-up. If you aren’t able to go to the center, we also need bakers to provide home-baked goodies to serve along with the meal. These can be dropped off at Holy Angels prior to the trip to St. Patrick’s. Check back for the next date to volunteer to serve at St. Pat’s TO VOLUNTEER OR FOR MORE INFORMATION, contact Mary Anne Edwards (440) 247-0329

Human trafficking is a modern day form of slavery. Victims are subjected to force, or coercion for the purpose of sexual exploitation or forced labor. These victims are young children, teenagers, men and women. Currently, parishioners are learning more about this social justice topic and discussing ways we can help in our local community. We are always looking for parishioners who have knowledge or just feel called to help. FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO VOLUNTEER, contact the Parish Office (440) 708-0000

It's all about COMMUNITY! There are many gifts we each have and many ways to get involved using those gifts for the benefit of our parish and others. You don't "just" bake or "just" sew or "just" work with computers or from home, etc. There is so much to share and learn from each other, but we can't do it unless we come together in COMMUNITY. Find out where you can help by checking our bulletin weekly or in website updates as they are available here.
Due to the weather forecast, the Game night has been cancelled! We apologize for any inconvenience. Watch the bulletin for possible re-scheduling news.
