LETTER FROM ARCHBISHOP +DENNIS M. SCHNURR
Dear Fathers and Deacons,
Over the past several years, we have heard and been a part of discussions regarding those aspects of the Affordable Care Act which threaten religious liberty by forcing religious institutions to cooperate with contraception and abortion. More recently,
in arguing before the Supreme Court, the lawyer for the Obama Administration stated
that constitutionalizing same-sex marriage could threaten the tax-exempt status of all religious institutions. His
exact words were, “It’s certainly going to be an issue. I don’t deny that. I don’t deny that, Justice Alito. It is, it is
going to be an issue.”
That is to say, if the Court rules in favor of the Administration’s position, churches that do not perform samesex marriages will most likely lose tax-exempt status. This is one of many reasons why the Supreme Court
should leave the definition of marriage where it has always been – with the states. Even if a state allows same-sex
marriage, it can provide religious exemption in the same law. Constitutionalizing same-sex marriage, on the other
hand, does not come with religious exemptions.
This information needs to get out. Please ask your people to pray that the Supreme Court will uphold religious
liberty.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
+Dennis M. Schnurr
Most Reverend Dennis M. Schnurr
Archbishop of Cincinnati

St. Julie Billiart Capital Campaign
Drive: Preserving our Past –
Preparing for Our Future
As of 5-3-15 we have received $539,979.02
in donations for the drive. We have exceeded
our goal to raise $500,000.00!
Thank you for your generous response to this
drive which helped us to update our buildings so that we
can continue to bring Christ to others through a variety of
religious programs as well as recreational and social
activities.
Capital Drive Project Update:
There were 35projects for Phase I of our capital campaign.
To date 24 projects are complete. The total budgeted cost
of the 35 projects was $560,000.00. So, if we r each this
goal all projects in Phase I will be able to be completed.
On April 25 seven men were ordained
transitional deacons. These are “seminary” deacons.
Unlike our two deacons, they were ordained with the
intention of seeking ordination as a priest. In
addition, next Saturday, May 16, three men will be
ordained priests. At the same time we have more
than three priests who are retiring this summer. I
encourage you to pray for vocations and to “plant
the seed” in the hearts and minds of your children
and grandchildren. As I mentioned at Masses last
weekend, I feel a little foolish standing up in front of
all of you and saying, “I’m happy being a priest.” I
certainly hope that my daily life evidences that.
It is also vital to encourage our young people
to consider the possibility of full-time, professional
lay ministry in the Church. Throughout my ministry
I have been blessed to be part of a team that included
married men and women. It will be even more
necessary in the future to offer a clear career path for
these ministers. The diversity of ministries makes us
a stronger Church.
I will be away for a week beginning Monday
afternoon and returning the following Monday. In
the meantime, if there is a pastoral
emergency please call St. Peter in
Chains.

transfer to any sport. We will educate the athletes on how
to properly warm-up and cool down, and how to reduce
the potential for injury. The athletes will go through a
speed evaluation on Monday, and be re-tested on Friday
to show time improvements. The cost is $75.00 per athlete.
St. Julie Caring Hands
Knitting & Crochet Group
Report from Ann Elam:
In May we will be meeting on
the 3rd Monday, May 18th at 7:00 p.m. We received a
donation of 48 spools of cotton thread. I do have patterns for a scarf and an afghan if anyone would like to
make something with the cotton thread.
I called Hospice of Hamilton and they are interested
in our afghans. I have also placed a call with Mercy
Hospital to see if they need any more. Our cabinet is
very full and we need to donate some of the afghans to
make more room. Right now we have 38 afghans and
lapghans plus several small quilts.
Since we started in March, 2014 we have made 660
items and have given away 468. I want to thank all of
you for the good work you are doing.
