Mid-Month Update
Together Sunday Leader Launch

Together Sunday is more than a moment—it’s the beginning of a movement toward becoming a more welcoming and hospitable community. Every Sunday, we gather to worship Christ in the Eucharist—and every Sunday is an opportunity to open our doors and our hearts more widely.

With Together Sunday, parishes are invited to take a fresh look at how they welcome people: not only through smiles and greetings, but through a culture that sees, accompanies, and invites. With resources for formation and tools for action, this initiative empowers parish communities to strengthen relationships, foster connection, and become places of belonging for all who enter.

Join us on July 15 or 17 for an online Leader Launch to learn more and get started in your Family of Parishes!
Golden Jubilee Masses: Sept 6 & 7

Couples celebrating a jubilee wedding anniversary (25th, 50th, 55th, 60th, etc.) are invited to Mass with Archbishop Casey on September 6th (Dayton) or 7th (Cincinnati). Family members are welcome to attend as well, and a special blessing will be offered to the jubilarian couples.  Couples should RSVP using the online form by Aug 25.

Parish leaders are asked to share this information and the link below with jubilee couples (or the parish in general) using social media, bulletin, emails, etc. beginning immediately throughout the summer.

2026 Annual Liturgical Resources

2026 Annual Liturgical Resources (e.g. Workbook for Lectors, Year of Grace calendars, Living Liturgy, etc.) will be available in the ODWS online shop beginning August 1. As a reminder, these are available at a deep discount and tax-free (input your tax ID number now!)
Formation for Christian Initiation Coordinators and Liturgical Ministers

Liturgy Training Publications is offering virtual training for coordinators of Christian Initiation ministry, as well as anyone interested in learning more about Mass.
Suicide Awareness Month

September is Suicide Awareness Month. In addition to a Mass on September 14th celebrated by Archbishop Casey at the Cathedral Basilica, parishes are encouraged to include this observance in their liturgical celebrations. Resources can be found online.
