Future Parish Staffing
Last week, Bishop Lennon joined the priests of the
diocese in a workshop about future trends in Catholicism
in the USA and in Cleveland. The presenter was Fr.
Stephen Fichter of CARA, the Center for Applied
Research of the Apostolate.
After laying the foundation and accuracy of CARA’s
research, Fr. Steve shared with us the following:
In 1950, 75% of all Catholics in the US lived in the
“Catholic triangle”. The Catholic triangle is a line drawn
from Chicago to Washington D.C. to Boston and back to
Chicago. That percentage has not changed until recently.
But today, only 50% of Catholics live within that
triangle. The influx of Latin immigrants who are largely
Catholic and reside mostly in the Southwest has changed
the Catholic demographic in our country.
Today there are 692,000 Catholics in our diocese. By
the year 2040 there will be only 455,000. Fifteen years
ago there were 816,000 Catholics in the Cleveland
diocese and 100 more priests than there are today.
Today there are 256 active diocesan priests. Fifteen
years from now, in the year 2030, there will be 156
priests. In 2035 there will be 144 priests and in 2040
there will be 140 priests. “Unless there is some major
dramatic change” said Fr. Fichter, “you have some work
to do”.
There was no direction after the meeting. It might
have been good to imagine how, in 20 years, 144 priests
are going to manage the 185 parishes of the diocese.
Forty parishes will have to pair themselves up with
another forty parishes. In other words, in forty situations,
one priest will be pastor of two parishes. In Cuyahoga
County alone that scenario would look like this:
St. Casimir with St. Casimir
St. Peter with St. Paul
St. Barbara with St. Augustine
St Patrick Bridge Ave, with St Malachi
St. Mark with OLA
St. Mel with St Vincent
Blessed Trinity with St. Patrick
Our Lady of Lourdes with Holy Name
St. John Nepomucene with St. Stanislaus
St. Clare with Sacred Hear of Jesus,
St. Monica with Sts. Peter and Paul
St. Therese with St. Martin de Tours
Our Lady of Guadalupe with Sts. Cosmas and Damien
St. Raphael with St. Bernadette
St Christopher with St. Ladislas
St. Adalbert Berea with St. Mary Berea
St. Clement with St. Luke
St. James with Transfiguration Cleveland
St. Richard with St. Brendan
St. Francis de Sale Parma, with St. Charles
St. Matthias w/ Assumption Broadview Hts.
St. Ambrose with St. Colette
These account for only 22 “twinnings”. Another 18
pairings would have to be decided upon just to have one
priest in each designated ministry. Can you imagine one
priest serving St. Christopher and St. Lads; or one priest
serving St. Mark and OLA? And if not, you’d have to
come up with some other solution.
One way to look at this crisis would be to re-envision
priesthood. Could we have part-time priests say Mass?
Could priests who have left and gotten married return?
More priests coming from Africa, India and South
America might also offer a temporary solution.

church. They will be participating in the ministry of hospitality by
standing at the church doors with their families to greet you before
Mass. The Children of Light will wear a nametag identifying them as
a Child of Light Greeter. Please take a moment to meet these youth,
