A Letter from Bishop Malesic

My Dearest Brothers and Sisters of the Diocese of Cleveland,

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!

For more than 150 years, the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland has remained steadfast in faith and committed to living Christ-centered lives.

Today, as our world faces division and uncertainty, we know the deepest longing of every heart is to be known and loved. Our Catholic faith teaches that God is love, and in Him we find meaning and hope. In living for Christ and serving others, we come to know His heart more intimately and we go forth as missionary disciples who worship, evangelize, and serve.

To strengthen the heart of our Church—our parishes, schools, ministries, and people—I am pleased to introduce Called to Flourish: Our Church for the Future. This campaign is about drawing hearts to Christ and helping everyone encounter Him in a transformative way. I invite you to join me in this effort with your prayers, witness, and sacrificial generosity so that the Church in Northeast Ohio may grow stronger and more vibrant for generations to come.

May God bless you and those you love.

+Most Reverend Edward C. Malesic, JCL

Bishop of Cleveland
