A New Pastor
Last Sunday, we had official confirmation of Bishop Richard Lennon's decision to choose St. Casimir as the name for the new parish formed by the merger of Our Lady of Perpetual Help and St. George parishes.
Today we have official confirmation that the bishop has appointed Fr. Joseph Bacevicius to be the pastor of St. Casimir parish, which will be located on the site of the current Our Lady of Perpetual Help church.
Under Fr. Bacevicius' leadership, St. George has managed to serve both its Lithuanian commuter membership, and the needs of the local neighborhood in the East 67th and Superior area. Fr. Bacevicius has also been responsible for the largely Hispanic St. Francis parish, which is also closing as part of the Cleveland diocese's current reorganization.
"Fr. Joe" will undoubtedly be a great asset to both the newly united community of Catholic Lithuanians in Cleveland, and to the fabric of the North Collinwood neighborhood. We wish him well in his new assignment, and look forward to the opening of St. Casimir on October 25th.

I hope you’re enjoying the Labor Day holiday, which marks the end of the summer season, and honors all who labor to make our society work, especially members of the Labor Movement, to whom we owe a debt of gratitude for the many protections and benefits we as workers take for granted today.
In a letter to both pastors, dated September 1st, Bishop Richard Lennon has announced his final decision on the name of the new parish formed by the merger of St. George and Our Lady of Perpetual Help parishes. The new parish will be known as St. Casimir, which is of course the patron saint of Lithuania.
The Parish Joining Committee invites you to a get-together for the members of St. George and Our Lady of Perpetual Help parishes, as they come together to form St. Casimir parish. The meet and greet picnic will be held next Sunday, September 13th from 1:00 until 4:00 pm at Wildwood Park, located just off Lakeshore Boulevard, one-half mile west of Neff Road. Hope to see you there next Sunday afternoon.
The Finance and Legal Affairs Committee has been busy reviewing budget scenarios based on past revenues and expenses, and estimated future expenses and revenues. As a result of this process, it becomes clear to the committee that in order for St. Casimir to survive and thrive, the parishioner base needs to grow.
When the current parishes merge, the Diocesan Facilities Department will maintain and market the St. George property, and when it is sold, pay off any debt and expenses, and pass the remaining profit to St. Casimir parish.
In terms of the current Our Lady of Perpetual Help property on Neff road, Vladas Pleckaitis is leading an effort to identify projected capital improvements and facility maintenance projects.
The first annual Miles Coburn Environmental Symposium is coming up this week right here on the JCU campus.
