511 New Catholics to join Diocese at Easter, Pope Francis seen as Influential - See Video

Easter Vigil Welcomes Candidates and Catechumens

Across the 186 parishes in the Diocese of Cleveland, new members will be welcomed into the Catholic Faith at the 9:00 p.m. Easter vigils on Saturday evening, April the 19th.

This is a one hundred fold increase in new members as compared to a year ago and the Diocese's Evangelization Office and Office for Worship attribute a portion of the upturn to the "Pope Francis" affect.
