One of the most important things that we can do when someone close to us dies is to honor their memory. As a way to do that, we have a Liturgical Tribute Fund here at St. John of the Cross Parish. All money donated to this fund in memory of a loved one will be used to purchase items utilized in our worship and help us to do all that we can to assure that we have what we need to worship well. Donations can be made in any amount, and the name of the donor and their loved one who has died will be placed in the bulletin recognizing their kindness and requesting prayers.
Please call the Parish Office for more information at 216-289-0770.

Being good and faithful stewards of the gifts God has given us is part of our Catholic responsibility. Estate planning can also be part of your stewardship journey. We want to make sure we provide what we can, for those we love. Considering a future gift to our parish can be another way to provide witness to the importance of our faith and express our gratitude to God.    If you have made Saint John of the Cross Parish part of your estate, we thank you. If you would like more information on the many options, we recommend that you seek the advice of your financial advisor. Please let us know if we can be of any assistance.The Catholic Community Foundation of the Diocese of Cleveland is another wonderful resource for you in your planning process. 
 
Some ways to consider:
     -  Stocks & Bonds

There are many and easy ways to give a legacy gift.  When you do decide to remember Saint John of the Cross in your estate plans, please let us know so we can acknowledge your gift to our parish.

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat. I was thirsty, and you gave me something to drink. I was a stranger, and you invited me in.”
