We borrowed a 12 passenger van from the Baum’s and the first day made our way to Birmingham, Ala. where we spent the night. The next day my in-laws joined us and we started the short 5 hour journey to the Fla. Panhandle for our week on the beach. Our GPS directed us to take a short cut so I got off the highway and on to a state route that looked like it had been cut out of the woods. Matt, my son, and I said a rosary as we drove. Just as we were finishing praying, I caught sight of a white Honda in my lane coming straight at us. He was moving at a high rate of speed. I was barely able to avoid the Honda as he raced by me. He had forced us off the road where there was no berm, just a steep decline into the trees. Large vans have a tendency to tip and that was the one thing I was trying to avoid. I did manage to reach the road again but we ended up on across both lanes and off the road on the other side. Providentially there were no cars coming from the opposite direction as I pulled the van back on to the road and towards the right lane. Meanwhile there were various shrieks and screams coming from all our children who were scattered throughout the van. At that point I thought maybe we had made it without any damage to the borrowed van and we were all safe! But the SUV that had been behind us crashed into the front passenger side precisely where Matthew was seated. The impact took the entire front end of the van but left us with a small jolt that was really quite bearable. That van saved our lives! But I came to realize that the van was only a “vehicle” in the hand of the One who really saved our lives – God! We learned a lot of valuable lessons on that road in Alabama that Saturday in June: • Life is precious and can be taken away in a moment. Cherish it every day. Love your family and resolve conflict. • God has everything under control. His angels attend us constantly. We should thank them & Him often. • Prayer works. We should pray every day, all day. • You never know when you are going to meet Jesus face to face for real. Strive to be in a state of grace. Frequent the sacrament of Confession. • Wear your seat belt. • Family really is everything, even when they tick us off. God wants His family around the table. So go to Mass on vacation. 27TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME News from Our Lady School Tuesday, 10/7 – Fourth Grade field trip to Olentangy Indian Caverns Wednesday, 10/8 – Flu clinic 9:00-11:00 for students who have turned in paperwork.

View this bulletin online at www.OurLadyOfPerpetualHelp.net Like us at acebook.com/olphgrovecity OUR LADY OF PERPETUAL HELP GROVE CITY, OHIO Dear Parishioners, Many have noticed and commented on the missing picture and relic of St. Theresa; they used to hang on the wall in the prayer chapel at the rear nave of the church. For whatever reason, Fr. Swickard wanted to have these items returned to him, and so they were. I have decided to place there a beautiful icon of St. Francis of Assisi, as well as a relic of St. Francis that was given to me by the family of the late Bishop George Fulcher. The icon, which is on display this weekend in the gathering space, was created in Beirut, Lebanon. Special thanks to our parishioner, Kevin Radwanski, who is preparing the icon to be hung on the wall. I hope that this image and relic of St. Francis will offer all of us cause for devotion, and to seek his intercession for our needs. Next weekend I will present at all the Masses on the financial picture of our parish family. It has been my goal since I arrived here to report to all of you once a year on our stewardship of treasure. In addition to this report, we have scheduled a parish business meeting, open to all parishioners, for Wednesday, October 29th, at 7:00 pm in the Parish Life Center. At this meeting, we can go into more detail on our financial picture. Have a blessed week! Love, Fr.

Please contact Stacey Belford at 614-554-0161 or [email protected] for more information. Please consider being a witness for life.
