As the coronavirus pandemic continues impacting lives around the world, emergency assistance programs of the Catholic Charities, Diocese of Cleveland are working to help the increasing numbers of needy in the diocese. Read about #Facesof Hope and learn how you can help with a donation to support their work.
Behind every priest is someone who makes a difference in his life – often his mother. Father Oleksiak and his mother talk about their special bond.
Although ordinations are on hold due to the health crisis, get a peek at this year’s candidates for ordination to the priesthood, transitional diaconate and permanent diaconate. And take a look at the history of seminaries in the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland – the institutions that have fostered vocations and provided formation for those discerning the priesthood since 1848.
It’s also the time of year when significant anniversaries of ordination and years of religious life are celebrated. Lists of the priests, deacons and religious sisters, brothers and priests who are those marking their jubilees are included in this issue.
And don’t forget the 2020 graduates. A special four-page section is devoted to seniors who will be graduating from Catholic high schools throughout the diocese this spring, with photos of top students from each school and a tribute from school officials for the graduates.
