Meet the nine men to be ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Cincinnati on May 16,2026. One of the nine men is Deacon Daniel Jasek son our Music Ministers Denise Jasek. Deacon Daniel Jasek will celebrate his first mass at 1Pm Sunday May17, 2026 at Our Lady of Good Hope. All are invited to attend.
Growing up in Miamisburg as the oldest of five children, Deacon Jasek was blessed with a family that placed the Catholic faith and a relationship with Jesus at the center of life. He is particularly grateful for the time they made to Pray each evening-often the Rosary-and to gather with other Catholic families twice a month for prayer, fellowship, and catechesis. The Lord has blessed the Jasek family with multiple vocations: last year, Deacon Daniel Jasek was ordained as a deacon alongside his father. Chris; his sister, Sr. Elizabeth, is with the Mercedarian Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament in Baton Rouge; and his great-great uncle, Aloysius Wycislo, was the bishop of Green Bay. He has a devotion to St. Joseph because this saint is a powerful model for all men-especially fathers and spiritual fathers-through his radical obedience, humility, and chaste-yet-fruitful fatherhood.

Saint of the Week
April 12, 2026
St. Faustina
St. Faustina (1905-1938) was born Helena Kowalska in Poland to a poor family with ten children. They were devoutly Catholic, and she felt a call to the religious life at age seven, when praying in front of the exposed Eucharist. Despite wanting to become a sister as soon as she finished her schooling, she was sent to work as a housekeeper to help support the family instead.
When she was 18, she had a vision of Jesus suffering and, in the vision, Jesus asked her how long she would keep putting off entering religious life. She decided, at that moment, to travel to Warsaw and join the Congregation of the Sisters of Our Lady of Mercy. Upon entering the Congregation, she took the name Sister Maria Faustina.
During her 13 years in the Congregation, Sister Faustina experienced and recorded extraordinary revelations from Jesus. She recorded these experiences and messages into notebooks which became later known as the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska. In these writings, she reveals Jesus asking her to proclaim God’s loving message of Divine Mercy.
Alongside her writings, Sister Faustina also experienced many miraculous phenomena. There are stories of her experiencing hidden stigmata, bilocation, prophecy, and the ability to read into human souls. Despite these occurrences, she maintained that miraculous events were simply “ornaments” for the soul and that her real sanctity came from her deep relationship with Jesus and desire to do God’s will.
After her death at age 33, her writings on Divine Mercy sparked a great movement in the worldwide Catholic church with a strong focus on the Mercy of Christ and how to extend that mercy to others. Saint Pope John Paul II called her “the great apostle of Divine Mercy in our time.” St. Faustina, pray for us!

Liturgy of the Hours
The Church’s official prayer, and the highest form of prayer after the Mass. It is an ancient, structured way of praying Scripture throughout the day, focusing especially on the Psalms. It hearkens back to the Jewish custom of praying at fixed hours, a practice continued by the early Church.

Saint of the Week March 15,2026
Saint Joseph Husband of the Blessed Virgin Mary First Century
Feast Day: March 19
Patron Saint of the Universal Church, fathers, carpenters, and a happy death
The Father in Heaven chose Mary who was the Immaculate Conception to bear His Son in her womb, bring Him into the world, and raise Him from infancy to adulthood. Of all the men in Israel that the Father could have chosen to be Jesus’ foster father, He chose Joseph of Nazareth, a carpenter. Today’s solemnity honors Joseph and points us to his marital union with the Blessed Virgin Mary and to the effect that their marriage had not only on the Holy Family, but also upon us as members of the Body of Christ.
Joseph was born in the small town of Bethlehem but moved to Nazareth with Mary and Jesus after returning from Egypt in order to keep Jesus safe from Archelaus, the ruler of Judea. Nothing is known about Joseph for certain except what is contained in the Gospels. But the Gospels tell us all we need to know about this holy, obedient, and just man, who was given authority over the Son of God and continues to exercise a holy authority over the entire Church.
Saint Joseph was obedient to the Father in Heaven, and that obedience deepened his union with Mary his spouse, making their marriage the ideal family for the Son of God. Saint Joseph’s obedience is clearly seen in his response to four dreams by which an angel instructs Joseph how best to guard and protect the Son of God. Joseph acts immediately, in obedience, to the angel’s instructions. His obedience to the Father enables him to become a powerful instrument of the Father’s authority on earth, exercised through him.
