Come and see Signs from God: Science Tests Faith

August 27, 2025

You’ve heard the stories: weeping statues, saints getting mysterious wounds like Jesus, consecrated hosts turning bloody like flesh. What if independent scientists tested these cases, unaware of their origin? What might they conclude?

Here’s the thing: They have. And their findings only bolster what we believe as Catholics.

Tim Francis was an Ohio boy, born into a faithful Catholic family, who became one of those skeptics and turned away from his faith during college. But his winding road and these stories brought him back to a fervent belief, and now he tours the country sharing them so that you might believe too.

Tim will be at St. Francis Xavier, 606 E. Washington St., Medina, at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 15; Tuesday, Sept. 16; and Wednesday, Sept. 17; to share these stories and videos that document the science behind these miracles. All are invited and welcome to attend his multimedia presentation. 

Each night is the same presentation because we know you are busy and might not be available one of those nights. That’s OK – just pick one and come a different night. Or, attend the first night and come back with a friend who needs to hear this. Free childcare will be provided in our church basement Latchkey area.

Celebrate our country's 250th birthday

Celebrate our nation’s 250th birthday on the campus of St. Francis Xavier Parish! From the field next to our gym, you can see most of the fireworks being shot off at Medina High School.
Plus, you’ll get easy access to clean restrooms, parking and a playground for the kids. The parish will gladly provide our guests with free hot dogs, frozen ice cream and Popsicle treats, chips, water, activities and more. Open to all! 
In addition, since the fireworks concide with First Friday, we will offer visitors the opportunity to stop into the church for a moment of peaceful prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus will be exposed in the monstrance beginning at 7:30 p.m. and adoration will continue through the night until 7 a.m.
At 9 p.m., come to Mary’s Courtyard (between the church and school) and pray a rosary aloud in the darkness and dim light of the shrine. Bring your rosary, or some will be on hand for you.  We’ll finish in plenty of time to enjoy the 10 p.m. fireworks!
