Letter from Bishop Perez (Oct. 26, 2018)

Diocese of Cleveland Questions and Answers regarding the clergy sexual abuse scandal (November 2018)

Eternal rest grant unto them:

Michael DiMauro, brother of parishioner, Lori Arnett

David Perez, father of Bishop Nelson J. Perez

Heather Justavick, sister of Melissa Justavick and Jessica Hostetler

Friends, please watch and share my most recent video with your family and friends.  

In light of the recent scandals, I know many people are wondering whether they should remain in the Catholic Church. And I totally get that; the outrage is warranted.

But in this time of crisis, I beg you not to flee, but to fight--not violently, with the weapons of the world, but with the weapons of the Spirit. We need you.
