PILGRIMAGE TO<br />
THE SHRINE<br />
CHURCH OF<br />
ST STANISLAUS BY<br />
THE LEGION OF<br />
MARY<br />
On Thursday, 28 June, the Legion of Mary,<br />
here at <strong>Ss</strong> <strong>Robert</strong> & <strong>William</strong>, sponsored a<br />
pilgrimage to St Stanislaus Church in Slavic<br />
Village. There were 24 of us who enjoyed a<br />
delightful lunch at the Seven Roses Café; we were<br />
given a tour of the amazingly ornate Gothic<br />
church, venerated the Mitre used by the Blessed<br />
Pope John Paul II, <strong>and</strong> celebrated Mass. It was a<br />
day of prayer, contemplation <strong>and</strong> joy. Thank you<br />
to all who took part.<br />
The day was such a success that we will<br />
plan more pilgrimage days in the future to other<br />
locations in the area. This trip was sponsored by<br />
the Legion of Mary. This group meets on Monday<br />
evenings at 6:30 pm for prayer <strong>and</strong> business. Each<br />
week the members are active in visiting the sick in<br />
hospitals, nursing homes <strong>and</strong> hospice. They visit<br />
the Euclid jail, work with the families preparing<br />
for the baptism of their children <strong>and</strong> are a<br />
powerful spiritual presence in our parish. Visitors<br />
to the meetings & those interested in joining are<br />
always welcome.<br />
BIBLE STUDY<br />
Have you Begun to Read the Bible Only to Stop in<br />
Disinterest? If you have ever wanted to read the Bible<br />
but stopped in frustration or confusion, then The Bible<br />
Timeline study is for you. This study makes reading the<br />
Bible not only easy but even exciting! Often the problem<br />
with reading the Bible is that is was not written as a linear<br />
story so, when people start to read it, they quickly lose the<br />
narrative thread. Not any more, thanks to The Bible<br />
Timeline. Stay tuned, details coming soon!<br />
MANY THANKS!!<br />

“On behalf of our staff, volunteers, <strong>and</strong> most<br />
