Congrats Fr. John!!
 

Please pray for our second graders preparing this year for the
Sacraments of Reconciliation and First Communion.

In November, the Church takes time to remember in prayer those who we have lost during the year. As a special way to honor the deceased friends and family of St. John of the Cross parishioners, a photo collage has been created and will remain in the gathering area throughout the month of November.  

Join Fr. Tim Roth and Anney Roach for a Sunday Scripture Reflection on Tuesdays at 9:15AM in Meeting Room #2 (located in the church gathering space). Come and experience the living Word of God speak to you in the context of your daily life.

In conjunction with Diocese of Cleveland we will seek to raise $10,000 for our 10th Anniversary. Each parish family is challenged to give $100.The Catholic Community Foundation will set up an online platform with searchable profiles of participating parishes, schools, Catholic Charities sites/programs, and nonprofits affiliated with the Diocese of Cleveland. Anyone can donate to their favorite ministry through the website weGiveCatholic.org.
