History:
Our church was established July 1, 1977 by decree of the Most Reverend James A. Hickey, Bishop of Cleveland. The original number of parishioners started around 300 families, and we’ve grown to a thriving and active community of over 1300 families. We are fortunate to be led in faith by our current Pastor – Fr. Dave Woost.
If you are looking for a place to grow your faith, come and join us. We are always looking to add more families to our family!
