Dear Parishioners and friends:
This weekend, 30 men are on retreat in our retreat house (former convent). The initiative is of the lay ecclesial movement John XXIII that began in Puerto Rico during the pontificate of John XXIII. It has taken root in many dioceses in the USA, Latin America, and Europe. Its mission is to evangelize – introduce people to Jesus Christ and the church. “With Christ everything, without Christ nothing” is their motto.
The movement was formally invited to establish a presence in the Diocese of Cleveland under Bishop Pilla. Presently, seven parishes with Hispanic ministry have a formal group of John XXIII. Each parish has a leadership council (President, Vice President, Treasurer and Secretary). There is a Diocesan leadership council that coordinates the parish leadership councils. Deacon Francisco Miranda is the Spiritual Director and Hortensia Rodriguez, director of Hispanic ministry in the Diocese is the contact on that level.
Each parish group meets once a week for prayer and scripture study. Six retreats are held during the year rotating men and women. Members of the movement serve as a team facilitating the retreat weekends: catechists, table facilitators, prayer team, kitchen team, etc. Each retreat concludes with an uplifting Mass and celebration.
A lease agreement between the movement and our parish was signed during the pastorate of Fr. Masek. At the beginning, the members agreed to repair the former convent (which was in disrepair), and work to maintain the house and pay the expenses (utilities, insurance, etc.). The lease agreement was recently renewed and signed by Bp. Malesic.
John XXIII has given much fruit in the diocese – people have returned to the sacraments, leaders have been formed, and yes evangelization has continued!
Sincerely, Father Joseph H. Callahan

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
El próximo sábado 29 de marzo, se llevará a cabo un “mini-Congreso Eucarístico” como seguimiento al Congreso Nacional que fue en julio del 2024 en Indianápolis. El evento será en la parroquia San Miguel Arcángel. Arabel López tiene tiquetes y esta llevando la lista de personas que van a participar. Favor entenderse con ella. Espero que Lourdes tenga una buena representación …
Atentamente en Cristo, Pbro. Joseph Callahan
