Called to Flourish: Our Church for the Future

Join us for this Transformative Campaign at St. Ladislas

Our parish is blessed to take part in Called to Flourish: Our Church for the Future, a diocesan-wide effort to strengthen every parish and ministry across the Diocese of Cleveland. This campaign invites us to renew our commitment to the mission Christ has entrusted to us — to grow in faith, serve others with joy, and build a Church that will flourish for generations to come.

By participating in Called to Flourish, our parish shares in a collective effort, so that together we can build a more joyful, welcoming, and spiritually alive Church for all.

Diocesan Projects

This prayerful effort seeks to raise $200 million to support four strategic priorities:

    • Parishes – Sustaining parish communities, the epicenter of our faith.
    • Worship – Caring for the sacred spaces and individuals within our ministry.
    • Evangelization – Strengthening Catholic education and inspiring hearts to grow in faith.
    • Service – Continuing the mission of Jesus by responding to those in need.

St. Ladislas Projects

To continue growing as a vibrant, Christ-centered community, our parish is launching several key initiatives as a part of the Called to Flourish: Our Church for the Future campaign. Through this effort, our parish will receive 50 cents of every dollar raised, allowing us to pursue the following parish priorities:
      • Investing in Our Parish Campus
    Roofing Projects: Aging roofs of the Church, Cullen Hall, and Rectory will be replaced to ensure their beauty and integrity long into the future.
    Parking Lot Resurfacing and Relining: The entire parish parking lot will be resurfaced and relined to improve safety, accessibility, and the overall appearance for visitors.
    Cullen Hall Rejuvenation: To better support parish events and ministries, we will expand and upgrade the Cullen Hall kitchen, including relocating the pantry, enlarging the kitchen space, updating appliances, and adding refrigeration and freezer units.
      • Growing Our Parish Endowment
    – A portion of the campaign will be dedicated to growing our parish endowment. Strengthening this fund will provide long-term financial stability and support future capital improvements, ensuring that we can continue to serve our community for generations to come.
      • Building an Outdoor Pavilion
    – Plans include building a pavilion for outdoor Masses and parish activities, clearing brush from the wooded area, constructing a prayer path, and enhancing the existing Stations of the Cross.
Upon reaching our campaign target, our parish will retain 80% of all additional funds raised. To learn more about what’s happening at St. Ladislas and to hear directly from Fr. Mark, watch the video below!

How to Participate

Every household is invited to take part in the Called to Flourish campaign by prayerfully considering a meaningful pledge. Because pledges can be fulfilled over five years, many families find they are able to make a greater impact than with a one-time gift.

You have the flexibility to choose the schedule and method that works best for you—monthly, quarterly, or annually. Every gift, no matter the size, moves our parish closer to reaching our goal and supporting the mission we share.

Your personal invitation to participate will arrive by mail. After you’ve taken time to discern your commitment, you can return your pledge card to the parish office or make your gift conveniently here.

To explore the many ways to give, visit the Catholic Community Foundation website.
