Vacation changes your schedule, but it doesn’t have to pause your faith. ☀️🙏

A few simple ways to stay rooted while traveling:
• Make a plan for Mass before your trip
• Start the morning with prayer before the day gets busy
• Communicate your plans and priorities with the people you’re traveling with ahead of time
• Don’t leave your relationship with God up to chance

Rest is good. Adventure is good. But staying connected to the Lord while away can transform your entire trip.

Flags and symbols remind us who we are, what we belong to, and the story we carry together.

Today on Flag Day, we’re grateful not only for our country, but also for the symbols of faith that unite us as the Church. Our diocesan crest represents a mission much bigger than ourselves, a community rooted in Christ and sent out to proclaim the Gospel.

May we never forget that our ultimate identity is found in being sons and daughters of God. 🇺🇸✝️

Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us. 💙

Mary’s heart shows us what complete trust in God looks like: faithful, humble, courageous, and full of love.

May we learn from her how to say “yes” to the Lord in the ordinary moments of daily life.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, burning with love for us, have mercy on us. ❤️

Today we remember the Heart of Christ, a heart full of mercy, compassion, patience, and unfailing love.

No matter where you’ve been or what this season has looked like, His Heart remains open to you.

“are you so excited to be on summer break from ministry??”

Any youth minister will tell you there is no such thing as an off season in the salvation of souls business, and certainly not the summer. Summer can be such a time of powerful encounter and relationship forming when taken seriously.

We are so blessed in the Diocese of Cleveland by our culture of parish youth ministry. This week, 60 individuals, youth ministers, priests, core members, parish employees & more, traveled from Ohio to the sunshine of Phoenix, Arizona to be a part of Life Teen’s Catholic Youth Ministry Convention (CYMC) among the 750+ from all around the country that have gathered to learn, pray, renew and revitalize ministry life together.

So no, we are NOT on summer BREAK, but we are busy prepping our hearts, minds and souls to be better ministers to YOU young Cleveland, and we can’t wait to come home and share all the goodness with you (but we aren’t in a rush, because we heard it was raining in Ohio… ☀️🕶️)

With Love,
Youth Ministry

Today we celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi, the gift of Jesus truly present in the Eucharist. ✨

Across the world, Catholics take to the streets in Eucharistic processions, publicly proclaiming what we believe: Christ is with us.

As we walk with Jesus through our neighborhoods and communities, may our hearts remember that He is not distant. He is near. He remains.

Are you participating in a Eucharistic procession this year? Share where you’ll be celebrating! 🙏
