Members of the St. John the Evangelist Leadership Guild had the opportunity on Jan. 29 to gather with Bishop Nelson Perez and hear him speak on his early days as the bishop of Cleveland during a special dinner event at the Center for Pastoral Leadership in Wickliffe.
Bishop Perez thanked the attendees for their support of the Church in the diocese. Such support, he said, helps build up a foundation which, in turn, provides for places like the CPL, the local center of priestly, diaconal and lay ecclesial ministry formation in the diocese.
