"Our support for the Church is an extension of beliefs that were passed on to us from our parents."

“In our mind, philanthropy is an extension of the beliefs we were raised with. We each grew up with parents that showed mercy and dignity, and stressed the need for community. We see the Church not as a building, but as a maternal family that helps to build community and a sense of well-being. One of the things that Catholic Charities does well is building a sense of community and fellowship – people to talk with and people to interact with. This is what gives purpose to life and a sense of positive worth that brings people back into community.”

Mike and Jennifer Saxon are members of Guardian Angels Catholic Church in Copley. They provide leadership support to the Catholic Charities Annual Appeal as well as other initiatives of the Diocese and Northeast Ohio.
