Pray For Our First Communicants
Last Sunday, we had the joy of celebrating the First Communion Mass for 23 of our PSR students. We warmly congratulate all our young parishioners who received the Eucharist for the first time at St. Edward Church! Please keep them in your prayers as they continue to grow in faith.
The Perfect Time for Spring Cleaning
Are there gently used clothes and items in your home that you are no longer using? On May 2-3, the St. Vincent de Paul Donations Truck will be in the parking lot to collect gently-used items for their thrift store. It's a great opportunity to give your items a second life while supporting those in need. Thank you for your generosity!

Did You Know?
Thanks to the generosity of our parishioners, St. Edward Church is able to offer tuition subsidy support to parish families who desire a Catholic education for their children but need additional financial assistance. Subsidies of up to $550 per student are available to active St. Edward Parish families based on demonstrated financial need, and are applicable to Catholic schools within the Diocese of Columbus.
Celebrating Dcn. Adrian
Celebrate and support Deacon Adrian with us after Masses on May 9-10! He is graduating from The Pontifical College Josephinum on May 16 and preparing for ordination in Uganda on July 25.
