| | | | | FROM THE OFFICE DIRECTOR
In honor of our Bicentennial, this October 9 there will be an Archdiocesan-wide Day of Service as a tribute to all those consecrated religious men and women who for the last two hundred years taught us what service is all about. They built schools and hospitals, served countless people in search of basic necessities, as well as those seeking spiritual nourishment, a place of belonging, and purpose. Their influence is woven throughout the fabric of our community, holding us together in ways we hardly realize.
To honor and extend these contributions, we invite you to get on board! In this newsletter you can learn about some of the many outreach events that are planned. Join in or generate your own and engage even more people!! I hope to see you out there. Be sure to share pictures from your event on social media using #Cincy200 |

We are dedicating a whole week to service. This will help us reflect on our Catholic presence in Southern Ohio, especially as Franciscans. Like Saint Francis who reached out to those forgotten and overlooked, Roger Bacon students will reach out to diverse groups to place our Christian faith into action. The week schedule is:
Monday, Oct 4th - Solemnity of Saint Francis with the whole day celebrating our Franciscan life.
Tuesday, Oct 5th - Bingo with the residents at St. Paul/Archbishop Leibold Home for the Aged and Infirm.
Wednesday, Oct 6th - "Sow Love" Students will create cards of gratitude and encouragement for the Archdiocese sponsored ministries of St. Rita School for the Deaf and Catholic Charities of Southwest Ohio.
Thursday, Oct 7th - "Coffee with Christ." Before school starts, students will gather to reflect on the important faith and service.
Friday, Oct 8th - "Freshmen Service Day" - Ninth grade students will travel to Over-the-Rhine to work with other non-profit organizations and discover the importance of reflecting on service.
Sunday, Oct 10th - "Trash OTR" - Students will gather for Eucharist at Saint Francis Seraph Church followed by beautifying the neighborhood. Afterwards, all will enjoy lunch at Findlay Market.
