Bishop Lennon has made his decision about where the worship site of our newly merging parish will be located. He has made a “two-campus” decision. This means that the worship site will be at Ascension, and the West Park Catholic Academy will remain at the St. Patrick Campus. As far as we understand this decision, it means that parishioners from the current Annunciation, Ascension and St. Patrick Parishes will all worship at what is now Ascension Church. What, if anything, will happen to the Annunciation property and the portion of St. Patrick that is not used for the school has yet to be determined. We are very grateful to finally have Bishop Lennon’s decision in hand.

The Northwest District, Cluster 1 plan was delivered to Bishop Lennon on Wednesday, Nov 12. We now wait, with the rest of the diocese for what the future holds for us and for all the people of God in Cleveland.
