Support the Church in Northeast Ohio and make a difference with your gift. 
Enrich lives in Northeast Ohio through spiritual, educational, and charitable support. 
We help foster faith-based stewardship in the community for the spiritual, educational and charitable needs of all. The Heritage Society recognizes faithful in our diocese who have chosen to leave a legacy of faith by including their parish, Catholic Charities, our seminarians, Catholic education, or another diocesan ministry in their will or through a beneficiary designation. Current and new members of the Heritage Society gathered November 18 for Mass, dinner, and introduction of the new members at St. Bernadette Parish in Westlake.
This year’s celebration began with a Mass celebrated by Auxiliary Bishop Michael Woost who reflected the story of Zacchaeus - a man whose quiet generosity and integrity made him a true witness of faith. Following Mass, members and guests gathered for a celebratory dinner in Dempsey Hall, where they were thanked for their legacy gifts and support of the ministries of the diocese.
Heritage Society inductions took place after dinner and heard brief remarks from Andrew Rebholz, chair of the Catholic Community Foundation Board of Directors, and Patrick Grace, executive director of the foundation. Andrew Rebholz welcomed the group stating “Your generosity ensures our faith will continue. You are building a legacy of faith, hope and love in our diocese."
Fifty-two new members were welcomed to the society.
