We are a Eucharistic community committed to the teachings of Jesus. We embrace our call to love, to serve, and to build a just world.
The Call of Dilexi-Te
“I HAVE LOVED YOU.” With those words, Pope Leo opens his first Apostolic Exhortation, Dilexi-Te, a message to both the global church and a call to each of us individually. He reminds us of God’s preferential love for the poor and calls us to respond to their needs. How do we respond? Come, learn what has been done in the past, but more importantly help shape what we will do in the future. Thursday evening May 14 from 6:00 - 8:00pm at Church of the Resurrection. Deacon Paul Kipfstuhl from St. Francis Xavier Parish in Medina and the Diocesan Social Action Office will facilitate a discussion on Dilexi-Te.
The Pope Leo Village Project
Our parish is joining Greater Cleveland Habitat for Humanity to build Pope Leo Village — a new neighborhood for working families. Sessions run in small crews, with flexible shifts, and require zero construction experience. Whether you swing a hammer or serve a meal, your hands help build a home.
