Dearest Friends in Christ, 16 April 2024 from Office of the Bishop

I am delighted to share with you the enclosed norms and instructions to establish a Deanery structure in the Diocese of Cleveland. For many years, we have been served by a district structure that allowed for a healthy participative framework for developing new initiatives and sharing resources among our parishes. For many decades, this structure helped foster communication between the Bishop and the faithful. It also helped frame how we care for one another in the diocese. However, over time, it has become apparent that an update has become necessary.
