We are a people of faith and vision. From our beginnings as a diocese in 1847, we have grown to a community of nearly 750,000 Catholics. We embrace and celebrate Catholic principles, transform communities and make known the love of Christ throughout Northeast Ohio. As Catholics, it is our responsibility to grow our faith and it is through our personal relationship with Jesus Christ that we are energized to continue His work on Earth. 

Now we envision a stronger, more vibrant Catholic community, entrusted by God to meet the pastoral needs of our people by supporting the programs and initiatives essential to the life of our faith. Each one of us has a unique opportunity to be part of something bigger than ourselves. Separately, we stand alone. Together, we are united in our love of Christ and for one another and in this union we will build a stronger Church.

Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope provides an exciting opportunity for all of us to work together in realizing
our vision for a vibrant Catholic Church in Northeast Ohio. Your gift will help ensure a lasting legacy for the future, bestowing on our faith community the resources needed to continue building God’s kingdom in the Diocese of Cleveland.

Our faith demands that we do whatever we can - with whatever we have - to make a difference for future generations. Rooted in Faith – Forward in Hope challenges each of us to make that difference.
