Inspired by the Christ in the Eucharist and following the Eucharistic Congress, we are celebrating a Eucharistic Year of Mission. To showcase the amazing work of Catholics in the Archdiocese, we launched a webpage, www.catholicaoc.org/yearofmission, to promote several events, programs, and stories of mission and action. For this Year of Mission, we are:

  • Celebrating a Year of Mission Mass, an occasion for a plenary indulgence for the Jubilee Year of Hope, on Ascension Sunday, June 1st
  • Relaunching the 2015 Food for All Campaign, which includes a year-long food drive and letter-writing opportunity to promote the Farm Bill
  • Promoting Parish Ministry Fairs and the Love in Action principle of Beacons of Light
  • Year of Mission stories in the Catholic Telegraph

Please visit www.catholicaoc.org/yearofmission for more details and information. Contact Jillian Foster at jfoster@catholicaoc.org with any questions.

Designed for Catholic theologians, students of theology, and Church leaders, this convocation brings together recognized leaders from differing perspectives to model healthy discourse, seek common ground, and make recommendations for how to build unity in a deeply divided Church.

Celebrating Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN on the 20th Anniversary of Her Martyrdom (Mass)

Join us for a Mass Celebration to honor Sister Dorothy Stang, SNDdeN’s life and legacy. Light refreshments will follow the service.

Every year, our criminal justice system puts innocent people behind bars. This injustice must be addressed, and the Ohio Innocence Project (OIP) takes on this mission. On Wed., 10/2, we will join our partners from the ELCA to present a day on the work of the OIP, hearing from both the professionals who run the program as well as several exonerees. We will also hear a legislative update on several related bills and have a chance for conversation with the exonerees.

A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.

The cost of the event is $25, but we are happy to cover this cost for priests, deacons, and vowed religious if it’d be helpful. Please enter VOWED2024 in the coupon line, and you will not be charged.
