"The ordained ministry occurs in three degrees of orders: bishop, priest and deacon.  These ministries are essential for the life of the Church."

United States Catholic Catechism for Adults p.273

Before a man is admitted to the Sacrament of Holy Orders as a priest and/or deacon he is required to pursue graduate academic work. Please call the Parish Office at 440-729-9575 to talk with Deacon Bob Kovach about the Permanent Diaconate or with Father Tom Sweany to talk about the priesthood.

Men interested in becoming priests of the Diocese of Cleveland will also need to contact Fr. Michael McCandless, Vocations Director for the Diocese of Cleveland, at the Diocesan Vocations Office at 440-943-7600.
