Mother of Sorrows has hosted two of the three presentations during the Lent season. The presentation on the Shroud of Turin was informative and fascinating. Truly a thought-provoking presentation. The presentation by Father Lindholm, From Encounter to Discipleship, will have been enjoyed by the time of this printing. The Shroud of Turin and From Encounter to Discipleship can be watched on https://m.youtube.com/@motherofsorrows-peninsulao3151/streams. The third presentation is The Crucifixion in Art to be presented by Reverend James Daprile, Ph.D. on Thursday, March 26 at 7:00PM. Rev. Daprile serves as Pastor Emeritus of Our Lady of Perpetual Help Parish and is a docent at the Cleveland Museum of Art. This event will be hosted at the Peninsula United Methodist Church. We are grateful to PUMC for agreeing to host this event and we look forward to sharing this experience with them. There is no cost to attend.

We are very pleased to announce that for three weeks, beginning the week of March 9, the interior of our church will be getting a fresh look. The walls and ceiling will be painted; the pews refinished and new flooring installed. This may impact some of the events that we have scheduled. Until further notice, please call 330–657–2361 or visit MOS website www.motherofsorrowspeninsula.org or email at mospeninsula@gmail.com to verify the location of any regularly scheduled meetings or special events.
