CAUTION STATEMENT  ------    Holy Love Ministries 

The Catholic Diocese of Cleveland issued this CAUTION in August of 1999 which still applies today:

                                                HOLY LOVE MINISTRIES
                                          (Missionary Servants of Holy Love)

                                                            CAUTION

A group known by the name “Holy Love Ministries” and also the “Missionary Servants of Holy Love,” has been active in the Cleveland area for several years.  Earlier names associated with this group have been the “Our Lady Protectress of the Faith Movement,” “Project Mercy,” and “Mary's House of Prayer.” *   They continue to seek funds to develop their center and support their effort.  We would caution anyone considering support of such a venture to realize that this organization has no approval or support from the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.  In a meeting held with diocesan officials, leaders of  “Holy Love Ministries” made it clear that although they encourage Catholic practices, the ministry is ecumenical, and therefore not subject to the authority of the Catholic Church.

Recent publicity regarding reported apparitions and messages makes it necessary to urge extreme caution in giving credence to such claims.

* Please note that ‘MaryÙs House of PrayerÙ was a place when this group formerly met.  There is no longer any connection of ‘Holy Love MinistriesÙ in this place. (Added September, 2005)
