Dear Friends,

Welcome to this electronic summary of St. Wendelin Parish and Schools. We are pleased that you have consulted this site and trust that it conveys at least a portion of the energy and spirit of our Catholic Christian community.

We gather in a beautiful and worshiper-friendly church that was dedicated in 1993. Here we celebrate the Lord's faithfulness through every stage and challenge of life. Many feel we have one of the finest worship spaces in our Toledo Diocese.

Our principal ministry of service is education, religious and secular. Our schools program begins with 3-year-old pre-school children and concludes by graduating 18 year olds from St. Wendelin High School. We also have a religious education program for children and adults who are not in Catholic schools. The work and dedication to these educational processes is tremendous. We pride ourselves on conveying to a new generation the Word of God incarnated in the science and arts of the secular world.

We strive to deepen our sense of community among members and as participants in the wider society. Many of the groups you will find listed help those in need and provide chances to work with others in a spirit of fellowship.

Welcome to the worship, service, and family of St. Wendelin in Fostoria, Ohio.

Peace,


Father Nicholas Weibl, Pastor

O God, you call us to repentance and offer us mercy and forgiveness in Christ Jesus. Grant us faith to trust this gracious gift so that we may bear the fruit you desire, working to share the abundance of your creation with all those in need. Amen.

Gospel
Lk 13:1-9

Some people told Jesus about the Galileans
whose blood Pilate had mingled with the blood of their sacrifices.
Jesus said to them in reply,
“Do you think that because these Galileans suffered in this way
they were greater sinners than all other Galileans?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
you will all perish as they did!
Or those eighteen people who were killed
when the tower at Siloam fell on them—
do you think they were more guilty
than everyone else who lived in Jerusalem?
By no means!
But I tell you, if you do not repent,
you will all perish as they did!”

And he told them this parable:
“There once was a person who had a fig tree planted in his orchard,
and when he came in search of fruit on it but found none,
he said to the gardener,
‘For three years now I have come in search of fruit on this fig tree
but have found none.
So cut it down.
Why should it exhaust the soil?’
He said to him in reply,
‘Sir, leave it for this year also,
and I shall cultivate the ground around it and fertilize it;
it may bear fruit in the future.
If not you can cut it down.’”

**Reflection Question:

Adult: What important work could bear fruit in your life right now if you have more confidence in God’s loving care?

Youth: What great work would you like to do as you grow older? What can you do to begin now?

Technology Department Fundraiser

Do you have old cell phones around the house? Or do you have used Printer Toner Cartridges laying around? The Technology Department is starting a Recycling Program where we will send in any old cell phones and old cartidges and receive cash for those objects. That money will be used to help cover technology costs for our parish and schools. Please consider dropping those items off at the Parish or High School. THANK YOU!
