Seven Catholic Things to do in Cleveland this Weekend 9/20 to 9/22


Seven Catholic Things to do in Cleveland this Weekend 9/20 to 9/22



1.        The Conversionof St. Paul Shrine on E 41st & Euclid is one of our city’s true treasures.  Home of the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration.  This is where Mother Angelica started her vocation at this very Cleveland monastery.  While there, make sure to visit the All Saints Oratory.  Come and venerate the relics of the Greatest Saints who ever lived!  It is truly amazing.  Schedule from their website:





2.       While you are driving around this weekend, why not resolve to listen to Catholic radio.  We have two great stations in the diocese.  Cleveland based 1260 the Rock and Living BreadRadio out of Canton.  We also love the sermons on Sensus Fidelium. 

3.       Every single Friday from 2pm to 6pm, one man has committed to praying in front of Preterm – Ohio’s largest abortion clinic.  Why not join him this Friday – even if it is only for 20 minutes and a Rosary.  “You are the Man, Fred!”







4.       OK, we love the fact that there is this big Latin Mass revival in Cleveland going on right now, but if our family starts losing its parking spot at St. Stephens Sunday at 9:30, we’re going to have to stop mentioning it.   So for now, Friday night, pick an Immaculate Conception.  6 pm in Cleveland and 7pm in Willoughby.  Saturdays now have two choices – 8 am at Mary Queen of Peace and 9 am at St. Elizabeth (which is less than one mile from Preterm if you want to head over for a Rosary before or after).  Sunday, well there is a full slate.  Check out one of these two great websites.

5.       Don’t know about you, but we have a bad habit of instinctively buying books online as soon as we come across them.  A far better practice is to visit your neighborhood Catholic bookstore and enjoy the browsing before settling on a couple of gems.  There is no place better for this than Tilma.





6.       Cardinal Burke and Bishop Schneider recently announced a Crusade of Prayer and Fasting.  Definitely jump in on this.  They call on the faithful to pray and fast over a 40 day period leading up to the Amazon Synod.  Read more here:

7.       We started with the Poor Clares so let’s end with the Poor Clares.  The westsiders are actually a different order or branch or wing, we think.  Poor Clare Colettines of Cleveland.  Located at 3501 Rocky River Dr, there is no better place to pray than their Perputual Adoration Chapel.  The Browns don’t play until Sunday night, so attend the 2:40 Holy Rosary on Sunday followed by Benediction.





“Know that the greatest service that man can offer to God is to help convert souls.” St. Rose of Lima

5 Great Eucharistic Adoration Sites in Cleveland

Image
The world has gone mad, no doubt.  But how should we respond?  Since we are basically only on this Earth for a nanosecond when compared to eternity, perhaps we should find time to talk to God, to discern His will for us, and then to try to do his will…make time to talk with our Lord, to listen to Him, and to beg Him for mercy.  One of the best ways to do this is at Eucharistic Adoration.   "Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration is the adoration of Jesus Christ present in the Holy Eucharist. In the many Churches that have this adoration, the Eucharist is displayed in a special holder called a monstrance, and people come to pray and worship Jesus continually throughout the day and often the night. Christ’s great love for us was shown when he was crucified on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins and give us eternal life. He loves us without limit, and offers Himself to us in the Holy sacrament of the Eucharist. Can we not give Jesus a few minutes of love and adoration in return?"

Cleveland Latin Mass Community Reacts to News

Image
  It was a match made in Heaven. The Traditional Latin Mass and some of Cleveland’s most beautiful, historic churches.  Immaculate Conception, St Stephen’s, St, Rocco’s and more recently Mary Queen of Peace, St. Elizabeth of Hungary and St. Ignatius of Antioch.    In many ways it was the fulfillment of former Bishop Pilla’s excellent Church in the City initiative.  Catholics from all over Northeastern Ohio gathering together in some of our older urban neighborhoods and worshipping Our Lord.  Obviously, the very positive financial impact on some of these struggling parishes can not be overstated.  It is significant and probably saved a parish or two.  But there is more.  Far more. Friendships were formed, volunteer efforts initiated, lives were changed, neighborhoods revived.  There were many conversions to the Faith, and perhaps even more reversions to the Faith. And as  Pope Benedict has noted about the Latin Mass: "young people too have discovered this liturgical form, felt its

They came for the Beauty, They Stayed to Give Back - The Latin Mass Community Rolls Up Its Sleaves!

Catholic Tradition is more than Latin, incense and bells; it is feeding a neighbor, clothing a stranger, and rescuing the unborn.  And so, when more and more young adults started returning to the beautiful, historic Catholic churches in urban Cleveland and attending the timeless Traditional Latin Mass, these same young adults found neighborhoods in need of their love, kindness and Christian Charity.        Thanks to these young Catholic traditionalists, last month we were able to witness Cleveland charity at its best.  And when the Cleveland Latin Mass community, the pro-life community, the Benedictines and people with good hearts all work together amazing things can happen.  In mid-March, on the eve of the Feast of St Joseph, friends of Father Bede OSB joined together to supply residents in the Buckeye/Shaker Blvd neighborhood with 100 free fish dinners from the Benedictine HS fish fry.  The idea started with the Oliver Plunkett Young Adult Club as a way of thanking Father Bede OSB fo
