RE: Coronavirus Update from the Catholic Bishops of Ohio

Governor Mike DeWine issued an executive order regarding the avoidance of large mass gatherings to help limit the spread of COVID-19 in Ohio. No gatherings of more than 50 people.

Even though religious gatherings are expressly excluded in the order, the Catholic bishops of Ohio, out of concern for the common good and the physical as well as spiritual well-being of all of the people of Ohio, have agreed to cooperate with the governor’s direction to create “social distance”.

To that end, we are dispensed, the Catholic faithful who reside in Ohio and all other Catholics currently in Ohio, from the obligation of attending Sunday Mass. There will be no public Masses daily or on the weekends. Father White will have a private Mass and will offer intentions for those who have already been assigned a Mass.

Our website will be your best place for updated information. It's been changing daily, so stay tuned.

We also have a Facebook page: St. Mary's Church Greenville. Find us. Like us:)

Finding Happiness in Marriage

Beloved is a video-based study program by the Augustine Institute that explores the true meaning of the Sacrament of Marriage. In twelve sessions, couples will discover the deepest spiritual, emotional, and practical realities of marriage through Scripture, Tradition, and Church teaching. They’ll see firsthand how to experience the wonder, mystery, and joy of this sacrament—from that first “I do” through the rest of their lives.Beloved sessions are presented on a 6-DVD set, and kits come complete with Couple’s and Leader’s Guides – everything you need to experience the full power of Beloved for a marriage preparation program.

Watch the video trailer!
