Following the guidelines given by the Diocese of Cleveland, Fr. John and the parish staff have created a list of guidelines to ensure a safe environment for all parishioners while attending Mass. With this said, it is also announced that Daily Mass to the public will resume at SVdP Parish on Wednesday, May 27th at 8:30 AM. We will resume our normal Mass schedule on that day. The first public weekend Masses will be held on May 30th-31st, 2020, the Solemnity of Pentecost.

As announced, churches in the Diocese of Cleveland may open for Daily Mass beginning on Monday, May 25th, and for weekend Mass on May 30th-31st. Click the title of this article to watch a video from Fr. John explaining the guidelines that we must follow.

The Catholic Bishops of Ohio extend the temporary suspension of all publicly celebrated Masses/liturgies ending on May 29th, with the hope of publicly celebrating together the Solemnity of Pentecost on the weekend of May 30/31.

We ask for the cooperation and adherence of all the faithfulto the governor’s directives during this period.

The second speaker in our year-long speaker series, Trapper Jack, who was scheduled to be with us at St. Vincent de Paul on Monday, May 11th, has decided with myself in light of the uncertainty of everything right now, to postpone this Mission until further notice.

   Hello everyone. I am Father Don Oleksiak, Diocesan Administrator of the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland.   The rapidly evolving crisis involving the coronavirus and the consequent directives from governmental health officials have all of us on edge as the routine of our daily lives has changed dramatically in the past week alone. As people of faith, we are deeply saddened by the changes to our worship and sacramental life brought on by the outbreak. Masses have been suspended and liturgies cancelled.

On April 2, Gov. Mike DeWine extended his executive statewide stay-at-home order through May 1 as the coronavirus continues to impact Ohio. In addition, the Catholic bishops of Ohio extended the temporary suspension of all publicly celebrated Masses/liturgies at least through – and including – Sunday, May 3. The bishops said their move was made “out of deep concern for the common good, as well as the physical and spiritual well-being of all the people of Ohio.”

This weekend, April 4-5, begins Holy Week. With the current restrictions in place, we are physically unable to participate in these liturgies. We invite you to join us, virtually. All liturgies will be Live-Streamed on our Facebook page, www.fb.com/svdpcleveland22, and be broadcasted from either St. Vincent de Paul Parish or St. Patrick's Parish West Park. Below is the schedule.

Blessed Palms will be available OUTSIDE the East Entrance to the Church (Berea Rd side), Rain or Shine, from 12pm to 2pm. We ask that you touch only what you're going to take. Social Distancing (6 feet) will be maintained and a line will be maintained.

Although we can't attend Daily Mass physically, we can be spiritually and virtually. Through the power of technology, Fr. John will be recording Daily Mass from both SVdP Parish and St. Patrick Parish-West Park, rotating between the 2 parishes. Go to our YouTube page here on our website to view.
