Campaign Overview

Our parish is blessed to take part in Called to Flourish: Our Church for the Future, a diocesan-wide effort to strengthen every parish and ministry across the Diocese of Cleveland. This campaign invites us to renew our commitment to the mission Christ has entrusted to us — to grow in faith, serve others with joy, and build a Church that will flourish for generations to come.

By participating in Called to Flourish, our parish shares in a collective effort, so that together we can build a more joyful, welcoming, and spiritually alive Church for all.

Diocesan Projects: This prayerful effort seeks to raise $200 million to support four strategic priorities:

Parishes – Sustaining parish communities, the epicenter of our faith.

Worship – Caring for the sacred spaces and individuals within our ministry.

Evangelization – Strengthening Catholic education and inspiring hearts to grow in faith.

Service – Continuing the mission of Jesus by responding to those in need.
