Office of Catechetical Services Collection  Each year in the Diocese of Cleveland, a special collection is taken up in all the parishes to support the ministries of the Office of Catechetical Formation.  The ministry focuses on providing guidance and support that promotes the  eangelizing mission of the Church through the catechetical efforts of all parishes and Newman Campus ministries in the Diocese. Ministries that will benefit from this collection include faith formation for adults, teens and children, and family-based faith formation, as well as the ongoing formation of Parish Catechetical Leaders and catechists as missionary disciples.  Newman Catholic Campus Ministries provide opportunities for students to deepen a relationship with Christ through prayer, worship, community, faith and Bible studies, retreats and service.  This year the collection will be held the weekend of May 9th & 10th.  A contribution to the Office of Catechetical Services is an investment in the faith formation of people of all ages throughout the Diocese.a

If you are in need of more assistance there are several programs within our community that can help. The link below will take you to a calendar of our community’s assistance programs. In addition to local food pantries, the calendar also has information on places that offer hot meals and clothing.

The calendar is a generic schedule and is not ‘month specific’. Rather, it breaks down the programs into ‘weeks of the month’. For example, in week 2 on Sunday, Wesley United Methodist Church serves a meal. That means that the meal listed there is served on the 2nd Sunday of every month. Likewise, our St. Mary’s Choice Food Pantry is listed on the 4th week Monday so the 4th Monday of the month is when we are open.

Please keep in mind that many of the programs on the calendar are not offered on Federal Holidays or Holy Days and that the Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday seasons may cause cancellations and date changes. Please use our calendar as a guide but remember to call ahead to make sure that the programs listed are available.
