Cooking for Domestic Violence Survivors

The Latina Project, an outreach by the women of Holy

Martyrs and our sister parish, La Sagrada Familia,

provides a meal once a month during a support

meeting for women who are survivors of domestic

violence.

You can help by providing part of a light meal,

spending time with the women or babysitting during

their meeting. The next meeting is June 18. An

invitation to help is emailed to parishioners

each month.

Food needs to be dropped off at Holy Martyrs until 1

p.m. Sunday and until 3 p.m. Monday before each

meeting. Please contact Diane Bruce at

dbruce@holymartyrs.net if you would like to help.

Protecting God’s Children

The Diocese of Cleveland’s “Protecting God’s

Children” program is a continuing effort to instruct

and inform everyone about the protection of

children from sexual abuse. To report any past or

present suspected inappropriate behavior toward

children by priests, deacons, religious, lay ecclesial

ministers or personnel associated with the Church,

please contact the Diocesan Response Service

Office at 216-334-2999 or via e-mail

at responseservices@dioceseofcleveland.org. You

are also asked to immediately inform local

authorities about inappropriate behavior.

For parishioners who plan to help with children’s

programs, Holy Martyrs will be providing

“Protecting God’s Children” (Virtus) training here on

several dates this summer:

July 16 at 10 a.m.

July 17 at 6 p.m.

Aug. 9 at 10 a.m.

To sign up, go to www.virtus.org and select “first-

time registrant.” You can then view

a registration tutorial.

Gospel Reflection

Jesus uses the image of a family for his

companions and disciples. No family is perfect, as

the Lord knows. Even with our own imperfections,

we are invited to be his disciples and his brother,

his sister and his mother.

Time Travelers Looking for Leaders

We’re looking for more adults to be part of the

Time Travelers facilitator rotation. This year-round

offering during the 9:30 a.m. Mass involves prayer

and interactive fun activities around the meaning

of the Gospel for children aged 3 (potty trained) to

10. Young people between age 10 and 14 can

help with technology and leading

icebreaker activities.

We are putting together a facilitator schedule

soon. If you are interested, please contact Diane

Bruce at dbruce@holymartyrs.net. You’ll also need

to attend one of the “Protecting God’s Children”

sessions listed on this page.
