Are you interested in learning more about the Catholic Church? The Catholic Church has over 2,000 years of tradition, history, beauty, and faith. For centuries, the Church has raised up saints, cared for the needy, brought the Gospel to thirsting souls far and near, and poured out the grace of Christ through the sacraments. There is a home for everyone in the Catholic Church. We would love to welcome you to our parishes, answer your questions, and walk with you. You are most welcome to join us anytime at Mass. Click here for the weekly Mass schedule. Our Inquiry Classes are for people who would like to learn more about Catholicism, but haven't had much experience of church in general, or the Catholic Church in particular. The basics of the story of salvation, the Creed, Church structure, and the Sacraments are covered. No commitment to joining the Catholic Church is required. It's a great place to ask questions and find out what the Church really believes. For anyone who is considering joining OCIA, this is an excellent foundation, and will finish in time to begin OCIA in the fall!

Saint Mary of the Woods, Catholic Church, Russells Point, Ohio Saint Mary of the Woods Catholic Church Russells Point, Ohio "Following in the footsteps of Our Lady, we will welcome and adore the abiding presence of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, and bring Him with joy to those we encounter." Mass Times Latest Notice: Homeschool First Friday Symposium Communion Rail Q&A The following Q&A is meant to help us understand the devotional and theological reasons behind the Communion rail, and to answer some practical questions. When receiving Communion, must everyone kneel at the Communion rail? No. The U.S. bishops decided the norm in the U.S. in recent decades is to receive standing, but the Congregation of Divine Worship is clear that individuals have the right to receive kneeling. The universal practice of kneeling was standard for many centuries before the current practice. Anyone receiving communion is welcome to adopt the posture they prefer. Why does St. Mary of the Woods use a Communion rail? There has been a revival in the Church regarding Eucharistic devotion. As many Catholics rediscover the traditions of the Church, more and more of the faithful prefer to receive kneeling. We see this growing trend in our own parish. Some parishioners would like to kneel, but would have a hard time getting back up without a Communion rail. In addition to allowing Communion to proceed reverently, there is also the potential of great spiritual benefits. Instead of people being ‘in motion’ as they walk through Communion lines, parishioners get a few moments to pause before and after Communion as they kneel or stand by the rail. This enables them to cherish the moment and open themselves to grace in a way that is difficult to do when walking through a normal Communion line. Are communion rails barriers between the people and God? No. Communion rails were never intended to be barriers to prevent access to God. This is a false idea that, while circulated by some, has no basis in any Catholic teaching, belief or practice. Communion rails are sacred places where people are nourished by the Bread from Heaven. That is why they were designed with great beauty and care. The architectural style of Communion rails was often similar to the altar, because they were seen as extending from the altar: the Eucharist is consecrated on the altar, and then received at the rail. Heaven and earth meet at the Communion rail; it is a place of Communion, not a barrier. Bulletins Select to view bulletin.
