News and Events
Bishop's Annual Appeal
As of May 7th, we have received $7,205 in gifts/pledges, which is 31.7% of our parish goal of $22,721. Remember, any amount donated which exceeds our target is returned to Saint Colman and will be used to repay the loan from the restoration of our parish church. It is not too late to make a gift/pledge to the 2012 campaign. Pledge envelopes are available in the pews or in the parish office. Thank you for your continued generosity to Saint Colman of Cloyne!
Mother's Day Spiritual Bouquets
Again Saint Colman's is sponsoring Mother's Day Spiritual Bouquet Enrollments. All the names of those enrolled will be included in the General Intercessions on Mother's Day weekend, and placed on the altar throughout the month of May. Beautiful enrollment cards are available in the back of church. A donation of $10 is requested for each name enrolled.
The Mary Month of May
From time immemorial, the Christian faithful have marked the month of May with devotions in honor of the Mother of God. You are invited to join Father Sullivan as he leads the recitation of the rosary throughout the month of May before the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning Masses. The rosary will start one half hour before Mass begins.
Rummage Sale
The Women of Saint Colman Annual Rummage Sale will be Friday and Saturday, June 8 & 9. So clean out your closets, attics, and garages. Items can be brought to the Parish Hall Monday - Thursday, June 4-7 from 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Workers will be needed to sort and price, as well as the day of the sale. Items not sold will be given to charity.
Community Cash is back!
The cash back program at Community Markets is again being offered! Save your register tapes. A box is in the back of church to collect your them. Saint Colman will receive 1% cash back from your purchases. It's that easy!
Kroger Community Rewards
April begins the enrollment/re-enrollment for the May 2012 to May 2013 program year. Thanks to your generosity, Saint Colman has earned $3,818.24 the first three quarters of this program year!

Respect for Rights of Conscience
Despite the declaration from local news sources that everything has been worked out between people of faith, those who believe in the First Amendment and the administration's mandates affecting certain aspects of health care, it has not. Please visit the USCCB website to remain informed. Do not rely on popular media alone. Our bishops continue to encourage us to write and call our representatives. There is a sample letter available on the website – it may also be emailed, but phone calls and letters are more effective.
If you click here and type in your zip code, it will give you information on how to contact your representative. If you click here, you will be given the addresses, phone numbers, and emails of our senators. Please take part in this effort.
"Catholicism" Series
The series "Catholicism" continues on Monday nights at 7 p.m. in the Parish Center Conference Room until May 14.
"Catholicism" is a series produced by Father Robert Barron, a priest of the Archdiocese of Chicago. Well known as a fine preacher, seminary professor, author, and radio and YouTube commentator, Father Barron is the host of this ten-part series exploring and explaining the depth and genus of the Catholic faith. This series was produced for parish catechesis, RCIA, and faith enrichment. It has recently been broadcast on public television stations throughout the country.
Filmed using High Definition technology, "Catholicism" goes "on location" throughout the Catholic world and brings us to the Holy Land, Vatican City, Lourdes, Calcutta, and other locales associated with the Church, her life, and mission.
Please set aside an hour and a half each Monday to enrich your faith and deepen your appreciation of Catholicism.
Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure
On June 20 and 21, Washington Court House will be invaded by at least 2500 hungry visitors on bicycles as the Great Ohio Bicycle Adventure stops in town during their annual tour. Our parish has been encouraged by the Chamber of Commerce and the GOBA committee to serve two evening fund-raising meals. We have the planning committee; we just need you. This will be a huge project (think of the Fair Booth on the church grounds and on steroids). We will need donations, publicity people, cooks, servers, clean-up crews and more! Please mark those June dates on your calendar to help your Saint Colman parish. Keep watching the weekly bulletin, website, Facebook and the local newspaper for more details.
