Doors of Mercy

Today, the Cathedral stands in the middle of vibrant theater entertainment, professional sports venues and a thriving commercial district. It is the setting for episcopal liturgies and ordinations. It has grown into a vibrant and growing parish community serving over 1100 members. Centrally located, the Cathedral staff and parishioners reach out to the poor and the troubled. Many attend Mass at the Cathedral because of the beauty of its liturgy and the artistry of its musicians and choir. As the mother church of the Diocese of Cleveland, the Cathedral is the spiritual home of over 750,000 Catholics. The Cathedral, in the heart of downtown Cleveland, is an historical building which stands as an enduring symbol of all those who have worked to build the Diocese of Cleveland over more than 150 years. Its presence is a reminder of the Church’s call to serve the spiritual and material needs of God’s people, and as a sign of our commitment to continue to spread the message of God’s love to future generations.
