Moments: Feast of the Immaculate Conception
There was an outpouring of celebrations of Our Lady's feast yesterday, December 8, all over the diocese. And that was with due reason: Our Lady and it was a day of obligation!

Godic is back, and he graced the church with his presence and his homily. As......

Under the Patronage of Pope St. Pius X and St. Joseph
Cleveland TLM Friends was founded in 2009 as an online resource for the small, but growing, community of Faithful Catholics attached to the ancient Roman rite. The mission has been to promote awareness of and participation in the Traditional Latin Mass in the diocese of Cleveland. In that time, the celebration of the TLM has grown from 3 parishes to now 10.

O Holy Mother of God;
In our needs, despise not our petitions,
but deliver us always from all dangers,
O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.
