This Month, our Parish is honored to host the TRAVELING CHALICE for VOCATIONS from the Diocese of Toledo. The chalice, blessed by Bishop Thomas, serves as a reminder of our need to pray for an increase in priestly vocations. Please join us in praying that young men from our parish and diocese will respond generously to God’s call to the Priesthood. 

It will be at the St Stephen’s campus for 2 weeks and then at St Thomas campus for the remaining 2 weeks.

We have a 5:30 pm daily Rosary and the reciting of the Prayer for Vocatios, and an evening Mass.
Please attend in person or pray this prayer at home.

Prayer for Vocations

Oh Jesus, truly present in the Blessed Sacrament, draw all people to yourself, especially those you are calling to the priesthood and consecrated life. Give your church, we pray, fervent priests to serve at your altar, and holy men and women who will devote their lives to prayer and service as consecrated brothers and sisters. May the heart of Jesus, in the Most Blessed Sacrament be praised, adored, and loved with grateful affection at every moment, in all the tabernacles of the world, even until the end of time. Amen

The Diocese of Toledo previously communicated information concerning a report against Rev. John Peter Lazaar involving a student. As then noted, despite grossly inaccurate social media posts to the contrary, video evidence unequivocably demonstrated that the allegation was patently false. On April 1, 2026, Lucas County Children Services issued its final disposition concluding that the allegation was unsubstantiated. On April 8, 2026, the Oregon Police Department advised that it had likewise determined that no further investigation into the matter was warranted.

We are most grateful that this process is concluded. The virtue of justice requires that as victims of misconduct must be supported to come forward, so too must those who are wrongly
accused be supported in the event of a baseless allegation.
