Our friend Harry Cashy cared very much about St. Herman’s and its mission.  Harry put in motion a golf outing in 2014 that has become a substantial fundraiser for St. Herman’s.  The 13th annual St. Herman Golf Classic is July 13 at Elyria Country Club.  

In 2017, a year after Harry’s passing, a group of Harry’s friends organized a sponsorship by the “Friends of Harry Cashy” to support St. Herman’s in memory of Harry.  This will be the tenth year that the Friends of Harry have come together to support the St. Herman Golf Classic in Harry’s memory.  

If you would like to be a part of the Friends of Harry donation, you can donate by (1) clicking https://sainthermans.org/golf/, (2) scrolling to and checking the “Make a Contribution” box, (3) selecting the amount and checking the “St. Herman Golf Donor - Friend of Harry Cashy”, and (4) clicking the next button and finishing the submission.  If you have any questions about the Friend of Harry sponsorship, please contact Gus Kallergs ([email protected] or 216.410.6306).

We know - people are either away on vacation or busy with other things this time of year, and no one wants to take on hosting coffee hour. Therefore, we will be holding a Community Potluck Coffee Hour this Sunday, July 12. We will provide the coffee, cream, sugar, and paper products, but we ask that each person or family bring a small offering to share. Let’s come together and make Coffee Hour a warm and welcoming place for everyone!

Open Coffee Hour dates resume in August. If you are able to host for any of those dates, please contact Sade in the office at 216 932-3300 or add your name on Sign Up Genius. If you have any questions, please contact the office. Thank you!

Saint Makrina Bible Study will be taking a break from our present book to read A Life of Miracles: A Physician's Encounters with the Divine by Dr. Michael Kellis. 

“In A Life of Miracles, Dr. Kellis shares remarkable true stories of extraordinary moments - when terminal illness reversed, when despair gave way to faith, and when light overcame darkness. Drawing from his years as a physician, researcher, and believer, he recounts incredible moments that point to a reality beyond chance or coincidence.” All proceeds from the book will be donated to Sts. Constantine and Helen Library.

We meet every Wednesday at 9:30 am over Zoom. You do not have to attend every session and can participate in the discussions as much or as little as you wish.  We would love to have you join us! Please contact Toni Madden at  [email protected] for the zoom link.
