Upcoming Padre Pio Speaker Featured on EWTN: Jonathan Kuplack’s Epic Pilgrimage Across America






A young Catholic is running across America. Every day, 35 miles. For 100 days straight. Why? To evangelize the Faith.  If he can push his limits in such a profound way, maybe we can push ourselves a bit to support him. 

This Thursday night, the Greater Cleveland community is invited to gather at Padre Pio Academy at 7 p.m. and to hear the incredible story of Jonathan Kuplack, a Catholic ultra-runner on the final stretch of his 3,500-mile journey from San Diego to Auriesville, New York, where he’ll complete his pilgrimage at the National Shrine of the North American Martyrs. 

Don't take our word on this.  Check out this recent story on EWTN: 

Jonathan is not just running for the fun of it. He’s running with a mission—to bring the message of the Gospel to people across the country, and to promote the values of courage, faith, and masculine identity rooted in the Catholic Faith. His journey is a testament to the power of perseverance and the call to live out the Faith in all we do.

 Come hear Jonathan’s amazing testimony as he shares the challenges, triumphs, and lessons from the road. He’ll also talk about his organization, Sebaste, a young men’s mentoring program that helps boys and men reclaim a masculine identity rooted in adventure, hardship, and brotherhood - and most importantly, the Catholic Faith.

 This is more than just a talk; it’s an invitation to be inspired and get involved. Let’s not let this courageous young Catholic run across the country for nothing. Cleveland, it’s time for us to show up for our Faith and support this hero who’s fighting to spread and promote the Good, the True and the Beautiful. 

This event is open to young men (ages 10+), parents, and anyone interested in helping men reclaim a bold and purposeful identity. Whether you’re looking for inspiration or guidance on how to live a more adventurous, faithful life, rooted in the Catholic Faith - this is the event for you. Don’t miss this incredible opportunity to be part of this amazing effort to evangelize our Nation!. Bring your family, bring your friends, and let’s turn out to show Jonathan our support.

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 adorati...
