Cleveland Mass Mob IV on a rainy Pentecost 2014 was at St. Colman's. </span><span class="userContent">When i entered Saint Colman's church on Saint Patrick's Day 2009, a
television cameraman behind me, said in surprise, </span><span class="userContent"><i><span class="userContent"><span class="text_exposed_show"><i>“</i></span></span>this place looks

Yes, St. Patrick's Mass, every year, is the most well attended Mass at St. Colman's. Let us try to have a healthy fraction on Mass Mob Day.</span></span><br />

</div>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We are returning, we mobbed St. Jerome on June 28, 2015. We were well received. Saint Jerome's is ending their celebration of being a parish in this, their century year. Our Lady of Peace on Shaker Blvd. is celebrating their one hundredth year too. The European War (now called World War One) had ended, and national resources allowed for the formation of church expansion. Cleveland still had incoming migration and new parishes were created. Saint Jerome's is in North Collinwood, just beyond Bratenahl, a wee distance from Lake Erie.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The present church building began in 1950. It is one of the few post war churches built in a gothic fashion. The stained glass windows were made in Boston in 1951 in mediæval style, the great entrance window has delicate stone tracery, and niche stones are cut in that ancient look. For some reason there is a heraldic Scottish lion, and thistle on the outside walls. Entry door are solid wood with carvings. In addition there is a beautiful side chapel dedicated to St. Joan of Arc. O, yes, Saint Jerome is a beautiful church.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This area of town is now called Tremont, and few places in this country are so dense with churches. When the smokey mills were being heavily manned by immigrants and sons of immigrants, they built churches for every nation and their creeds that populated them; in addition to the previous Germans and Yankees that came before them. <a href="https://rustbeltvoice.blogspot.com/2013/02/churches-in-tremont.html" target="_blank">[see and click]</a></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Saint John Cantius was the Polish parish. It is one of the many churches in America, that was built in the Polish cathedral style. It is worth seeing. It is also one of the churches in town with an art deco element, here the angels above the capitals between the bays of the colonnades. </span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">We will be revisiting the parish. Cleveland Mass Mob III was 25 May 2014, this time on Pentecost. Every year that Cleveland Mass Mob has been active we mob on Pentecost. Pentecost is the birthday of the church, it is when the Holy Spirit filled the followers of Jesus. It is the most opportune date in the year for mobbing.<br /><br />The exterior of Saint Adalbert, Cleveland is patterned after the neo-classical cathedral in Salzburg; but it is older, the original was bombed during WWII. The original Czech (Bohemian) congregation moved into their second home in 1911. In 1961, there was a merger with Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament, which had been the first African American parish in Cleveland. The combined parish was closed for public worship, for a time, waiting for Rome to successfully intervene.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Fr. Thomas Mahon was pastor at St. Thomas Aquinas Cleveland. Glenville (which then was outside of Cleveland) wanted a parish. Fr. Mahon would also become pastor at the new parish of St. Aloysius. People in East Cleveland asked Fr. Mahon to organise another parish, which became St. Philomena in 1902. St. Philomena is still in East Cleveland on Euclid Avenue. At the time, there were no Catholic churches on Euclid Avenue inside the city of Cleveland. That part of Euclid was Millionaires' Row, and no Catholic churches were allowed. On the parallel Superior Avenue there were several, St. Thomas Aquinas being the furthest east.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">11.30 a.m. 7 October 2018</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">This will be a second mobbing, four years after the first.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The parish of St. Stanislaus was formed in 1873, and at first worshipped at St. Mary's of the Flats (the first Catholic church and later cathedral in Cleveland). In 1879 they moved to the Franciscan St. Joseph on Woodland. In 1881 a new church was built in South Broadway area of Newburgh called Warszawa. The present church was built from 1886 to 1891. St. Stan's exterior was built in Gothic revival style. Of the Catholic churches in the US, built in that style, only St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan is larger. The church was 232 feet high, with two steeples. St. Michael the Archangel, on the west side, had its taller steeple at 232 feet also. At the time, these were the two tallest buildings in Cleveland. A tornado struck on 21 April of 1909, the twin steeples toppled, and a child was killed. The steeple on St. Wenceslas on Broadway also fell. St. Stan's was rebuilt </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">to a height 122 feet high.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">St. Stanislaus is gothic on the outside, on the inside it is baroque, it is the most rococo church in Cleveland. During the year, it is often well garlanded with plants and other decorations. In addition to being a parish church, it is also a shrine church, and the co-cathedral of Cleveland. The shrine is that of St. Stanislaus </span></span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Szczepanowski (Bishop and Martyr). Above is a window depicting King Boleslaus II the Bold murdering Stanislaus. Stanislaus was bishop of Krakow, a successor to the office was Karol Wojtyla (St. John Paul II), there are items of his in the church.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Saint Stanislaus is a Polish parish church, and the architectural style is loosely called the Polish Cathedral Style in America. Many such parish churches across the country were built on a large scale. Cleveland has a few of them, and we have mobbed them.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Under canon law, a parish's name can be changed, but the name of the church stays the same. In 2010 the parishes of Corpus Christi and Our Lady of Good Counsel
were merged as Mary Queen of Peace. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">When St. Patrick's was founded in 1853 it was in the town of Ohio City, a rival of the town across the river. The next year, Cleveland absorbed Ohio City. The present building is the second church, and began building in 1871. The stone, Sandusky blue limestone, was carried in wagons from the quarry weekly for two years. Limestone is sedimentary, and you will see fossils on the outside walls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">The building process was not quick. The interior was completed in 1881, the tower in 1902, and the church was enlarged in 1913. St. Patrick is not the oldest St. Patrick's in Cleveland, but it is the oldest Irish parish in Cleveland.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">John Nepomucene is not easy for everyone to say, the Czech version is Jan Nepomuk.</span><b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">He is the patron of the seal of confession. John *c.1345, 1393† was thrown into the Vltava River (which runs through the capital city, Prague) by the order of the king, Wenceslaus IV[not the one in the carol]. Wenceslaus wanted to know the confession of his queen. This is why the iconography has John holding a finger to his lips. His feast day is the 16th of May. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">It is common when people have settled in America to have parishes named after national patrons. Irish parishes in towns and cities across the land have SS. Bridget, Patrick, Colman, Columbkille, Brendan, Malachy. Polish parishes have SS. Stanislaus, Casimir, Hedwig, Adalbert, Josaphat, Our Lady of </span><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Czestochowa. Hungarians named parishes after saints Elizabeth, and Stephen. Everyone names parishes after Mary, and often Saints Joseph, Peter and Paul.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Bohemia is the largest Czech province, and in Cleveland (and elsewhere) Bohemian was synonymous with Czech. The other two provinces are Moravia, and Silesia. The Czechs named parishes after SS. Wenceslaus, John Nepomuk, and Adalbert (some saints are patrons to more than one nation).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;">Cleveland has three remaining parishes founded by Czechs: St. John Nepomucene, and Our Lady of Lourdes (both in what was Newburgh, and now is called Slavic Village); and St. Adalbert (ClevelandMassMob III). Until recently, the west side had St. Procop, and Maple Heights had St. Wenceslaus. Earlier, there had been a St. Wenceslaus on Broadway. The highways took that parish, and St. Martin. Holy Family was also on the east side and closed in the 1990s.</span><b><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">Cleveland Mass Mob has been asked to return for another season. We will first revisit Saint Augustine's. Saint Augustine's is well known for its Christian ministries to the poor. The ten o'clock Mass will have American Sign Language. It must be remembered that each celebration of Mass is not an indistinguishable, interchangeable clone of every other Mass. Each parish has its own personality and chrism. If you have not participated at a Mass for the Deaf, you cannot appreciate its beauty, and sincerity.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;">The local press has for many years visited St. Augustine's dining room to show the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Saint Augustine feeds the hungry every day, and does many other acts of charity (remember 'charity' is another word for love of others). People need to eat more than twice a year, and St. Augustine always needs help. If you can aid, it will be welcomed.</span></div>

The name 'Emeric' in Italian is 'Amerigo', in Spanish and Portuguese 'Américo', over time the new world became 'America'. Saint Emeric (Imre) is the west side Hungarian (Magyar) parish. The interior of the church is, perhaps, Cleveland's prettiest small Catholic church still extant (sadly St. Lawrence, its competitor in compact beauty is no longer).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Historically, it inherited some items from Cleveland's only French parish, Annunciation. Its current location involved a transfer of land with the Van Swerigen brothers, who were building a train terminal and train lines.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
As a cultural center the parish houses Hungarians of all faiths in dance, scouts, and other organisations. This was the last parish to be closed (under protests and appeals), and the last one to re-open. St. Emeric's became an international cause célèbre in their ultimately successful struggle.<br />

Cleveland was expanding and annexed Glenville (and Collinwood) in 1910. The present church is the fifth building to convene the parish.

Saint Joseph Collinwood existed from 1877 to 1994. Nearby St. Philip Neri (begun 1914) was closed in 2008. Aloysius is the only Catholic parish in Glenville and West Collinwood. Demographics can change over the years. Glenville in the interwar period was a heavily Jewish neighborhood and had over twenty synagogues, some of those buildings have become churches. The neighborhood now is almost entirely African-American. St. Aloysius had been Irish.

<span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/CatholicChurch"><span itemprop="address" style="padding: 0 0 0 0;">A parish is meant to endure through time, through generations. Membership has fluidity over time. Over the generations, a continuing new community arrives; sometimes with familial continuity, and sometimes with new introductions. A Sunday Mass at St. Aloysius is a warm encounter. They understand that the 'sign of peace' is celebratory. It is a promenade of welcome done twice here.</span></span>a catholic democrat from ohiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10211379197946032004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3286735986869474524.post-39766287002035696952016-05-15T12:12:00.000-04:002016-05-15T12:12:00.162-04:00Cleveland Mass Mob XXII — Saints Peter & Paul<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now, there are 24 self-governing sister churches in the Catholic Church. All equal, all valid, all in communion with each other and the Pope. Most Catholics are in the Latin church of the West. There are 23 churches in the East, most with a similar Liturgy and tradition of the corresponding Orthodox, or Oriental church. So an Ukrainian Catholic service, will look like an Ukrainian Orthodox service.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Now, in the greater Cleveland area we have a Melkite Byzantine* church (St. Elias), a Romanian Byzantine Catholic eparchy (diocese) in Canton with a parish on W. 65th (St. Helena), and a Maronite† church (St. Maron). There are two eparchies in Parma, with several parishes in the area. There is the Ruthenian Byzantine (Cleveland Mass Mob VIII was at Holy Ghost), and the Ukrainian Greek* Catholic. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first Ukrainian congregation (1902) and church (1910) in Cleveland is SS. Peter and Paul. This is the mother church to St. Mary (1952) now in Solon, St. Josaphat (1959) Cathedral in Parma, St. Andrew in Parma (1972), and Pokrova (the Protection of the Mother of God) in Parma (1973).<br />

Saints Peter and Paul church looks small from the outside, but stunningly beautiful on the inside. To most it will be a surprise, an ecclesiastic jewel. Over the years, murals, and a stained glass window commemorating a millennium of Christianity has been added. Before 1956 the church had an onion dome, it is now a steeple.<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Saint Elizabeth is the</span> first Hungarian (Magyar) Roman Catholic Parish in America beginning in 1892. The present church was begun in 1918, and dedicated on February 19, 1922. The church and its limestone dome and towers are modelled after Rome's baroque Sant'Agnese in Agone. The beauty and importance of the building earned it a place in 1976 on the National Register of Historic Places.<br />
<br />
Cleveland is the most important place of Hungarian settlement in the new world. The Hungarian hierarchy (in Esztergom) had promised that Hungarian speaking priests will always be available for Cleveland. As is so with other people: ethnicity, religion and culture are bound together. A few years ago there were several Hungarian Catholic parishes in Cleveland, Akron, Barberton, Orange, Elyria, and Lorain. To-day, there are only the two in Cleveland: St. Elizabeth, and St. Emeric.</div>

Once you visit a parish, sometimes you go again. Over this past year it was suggested to mob particular churches, <i>"you should go to St. Michael's", "you should go to St.Colman's"</i>. We did—last year. With every mobbing, there are people whom do not realise there has been several mobbings in the past. One lady has told me at two different mobbings that we should re-visit churches, because some people had not been to them. The second time she told me, <i>"go back to Casimir"</i>. So...<br />

Saint Augustine began just before the War for the Preservation of the Union. In 1860 it was a mission church, parish status came after the war in 1867. The original church building, though expanded was still too small. In contrast to recent history, a former Protestant church was converted for Catholic use, the old Pilgrim Congregational Church (then called Jennings Road Congregational) begun in 1865 became Saint Augustine's in 1896. The negotiations for sale and purchase took some time, for the trustees and membership, and neighboring Protestant churches did not want to sell to Catholics. Originally the church had a steeple, it was destroyed by lightning and a resultant fire in December of 1918.<br />

The old South Side (Tremont) suffered during the Great Depression, as did much of the country. After WWII many people moved to larger homes elsewhere, and the construction of highways further de-populated the area.<br />

In the 1960s a Spanish Language Liturgy was offered. That ministry eventually came to St. Michael's. Since then, St. Augustine's has become the ministry for the deaf community, the blind community, and welcomes all with any problems physical, mental, and spiritual. Its hunger center is noticed by the local television stations each Thanksgiving and Christmas. There has been a generation of new reporters to Cleveland that have come for the annual stories, but people are fed every day. St. Augustine's is known nationally for its good works, and help is always needed. The Nuns on the Bus tour stopped by in June 2012 to speak for "faith, family, and fairness" as elements to consider in the federal budget.<br />

<b>Cleveland Mass Mob XVIII </b><br />
<b>Saint James (Lakewood)</b><br />
<b>10.30 a.m. All Saints</b><br />
<b>Sunday 1 November 2015</b><br />
<b>17514 Detroit Avenue</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
At the turn of the XXth century, population was spreading outward from Cleveland along Detroit Avenue. Bishop Ignatius Horstmann allowed many parishes to be created, at the time of his death (1908) St. James was chartered for the village of Lakewood. The present church was slowly built from 1925 to 1935, with the inside murals finished in 1944.<br />
<br />
Fr. Michael Leahy went to Italy in 1924 to look at churches. If you consult art history books (ones for introductory art history), you will find the interior of St. James Lakewood is closely modelled after the cathedral of Monreale Sicily, and touches of Cefalu inside and out, XIIth century Norman-Byzantine (or Sicilian Romanesque) style. St. James also has some arabesques in outside ornamentation. The Great Depression (under Hoover) slowed construction, but Leahy was very shrewd in purchase and payment, and got great value in material and workmanship. Unfortunately that ability has not been retained over the last several years in which leaky roofing has done much damage to the frescoes.<br />
<br />
The value of materials that this church is built from is greater than any Catholic church anywhere in the area. The varieties of stone should excite the geologist: more marbles than most would recognise (Levanto, Chiampo Perlato, Carrara, Botticino, Verona, Porta Santa, Rosato, Belgian, Numidian), and there is Algerian onyx, Roman travertine. And on the outside: Minnesota granite steps, Indiana limestone walls, Berea rainbow granite columns with sandstone capitals.<br />
<br />
The eight pink columns (of 18) in the nave are of Porta Santa marble. Porta Santa means holy doors, the ones in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. The stone was quarried on the Greek island of Chios. These columns were part of some ancient structure, and now are in Lakewood. There are only four churches that have used this stone: St. Peter's and St. John Lateran in Rome, Saint Mark's in Venice, and St. James in America.<br />
<br />
Under the period of parish evisceration, St. James had its last Mass on 27 June 2010. The Homecoming Mass was 25 July 2012. As with all the churches re-opened by Rome, the hiatus did great damage to the parish.<br />

One metropolitan area is Cleveland-Akron-Lorain [the metropolitan statistical area would include extends to Canton]. And we have all suffered over the years, and we are one. Within that whole, Lorain suffered a high percentage of parish loss (6 of 11):<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman;">St. Stanislaus (Polish)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">St. Ladislaus (Hungarian)</span></span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;">SS. Cyril & Methodius (Slovene)</span></span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: times new roman;"><span style="font-family: times new roman;"></span></span>St. Vitus (Croat)</li>
<li>St. Joseph (German) </li>
</ul>
One parish that did survive is Nativity of Mary (Polish). We will celebrate an anniversary of theirs, and in a certain respect, they will represent the other parishes which we can no longer celebrate with.<br />
<br />
The parish began in 1898 as St. John Cantius. The next year, the first church was built with a Marian name, and now it is Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. In 1915, the present church was built, and we in part, are celebrating the century of its use.<br />

<b>Cleveland Mass Mob XVI <br />Our Lady of Peace <br />11 a.m. Sunday 23 August 2015<br />12503 Buckingham Avenue</b></div>
<br />
To-day, all around the world there are Luna Park amusement parks. The first was in 1903 on Coney Island (New York City). Frederick Ingersoll, a creator of roller coasters and other rides, began the first chain of such parks. 1905 he opened his first two of forty-four in Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Prohibition and the Depression ended the park. In 1940, Woodhill Housing projects went up on the Cleveland site.<br />
<br />
Father James Cummins was an infantry chaplain in the last days of, what was then called, <i>the European War</i>. The war experience affected him deeply. After the war, he began a new parish in the Larchmere neighborhood (beyond Woodland and Buckeye), Our Lady of Peace. Before a temporary church could be built, the parish first met at the Luna Park's billiards hall. A wooden church was ready for Easter 1920 on Buckingham. In three years a new solid church was ready, and is now Cummins Hall. The present church was built between 1949 and 1951. The parish that began after the First World War, had a new church after the Second World War.<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To-day, Our Lady of Peace is the home of St. Raphael Syro-Malabar Catholic Mission of Cleveland. Once a month, Mass is said in Malayalam (language of Kerala state in India). They are one of the St. Thomas Christians. Once a month, a Mass is said in the Igbo language of southern Nigeria for Roman rite Catholics. This Mass Mob will be mostly in English, with a word or two in Aramaic, and maybe Greek, Latin is a possibility; but the congregation are to say and sing these words.<i> Pax vobiscum — you all.</i></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">10205 Lorain Avenue</span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Cleveland was expanding outwards. Ignatius Horstman was bishop in 1902. The new parish on the west end of Cleveland was to be named after his patron saint, Ignatius of Antioch. A new parish on the east side was named after his mother's patronal saint, Catharine (now <a href="http://rustbeltvoice.blogspot.com/2011/09/saint-catharines-falls.html">demolished</a>). <br /><br />The present church was built (1925-30) delayed and finished during the Great Depression. As life has strange episodes, the first Mass in the current church [then incomplete upper church, a lower floor was being used] was the requiem for its pastor, Thomas Hanrahan. He had gone to Rome, a few years earlier, and wanted the new church to look like the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. <br /><br />The church has two dozen columns of Italian marble. The outside is of Bedford limestone. Its ground storey stained glass windows have fives scenes stacked on each other, and there is a clerestorey level of smaller windows. Each is of many pieces of deeply colored glass to look like high mediæval glass. The stations of the cross are metalwork. <br /><br />It is the second tallest church in Cleveland. The campanile (bell tower) rises 210 feet, and dominates the neighborhood. It is lit up at night and is a landmark along Interstate 90. Recently the tile roof, and stone work of the tower have been refinished, repaired, and strengthened.<br /><br />This is one of two (St. Colman's, the other) parishes that massive public pleading prevailed to have removed from the closure list of 2009. These two closings would have left a chasm about Lorain Avenue. Come and see the church, and meet some of the people.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"><span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The
mob goes to North Collinwood this time. As the fotos suggest the patron
of the parish is St. Jerome. The plaque gives his life dates (*340,
420†), and the founding of the parish (1919) and the consecration of the
church (1994).</span> </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
We see St. Jerome anachronistically dressed as a cardinal, centuries before the office existed. For some years Jerome was a scholarly hermit. He is one of the four chief doctors (teachers) of the early Roman Church. His translation of the Scriptures were the official standard throughout Christendom. The statue on the right, which sits in an alcove that held a confessional, Jerome holds a book opened to his words "Ignorance of Scripture is Ignorance of Christ". The statue in the center is outside on the campanile (bell tower). It is an older picture, before the tinge of moss was removed. On the left is a window from the choir loft. Jerome's likeness is unknown after so many centuries, so the artist can use his judgment. From description, we know that Jerome had lost an eye, and the depiction with the lion was confused with Androcles.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The present church building began in 1950. It is one of the few post war churches built in a gothic fashion. The stained glass windows were made in Boston in 1951 in </span>mediæval<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;"> style, the great entrance window has delicate stone tracery, and niche stones are cut for that ancient fashion. For some reason there is a heraldic Scottish lion, and thistle on the outside walls.</span> Entry door are solid wood with carvings. In addition there is a beautiful side chapel dedicated to St. Joan of Arc. O, yes, Saint Jerome is a beautiful church.<br />
<br />
We scheduled this mobbing with Fr. Anthony Cassese late last summer. The long time priest (and pastor) of the parish died the penultimate day of last year.</div>

<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Pentecost Sunday is the perfect day for the mob to mass, for this is the day the Holy Spirit spread to the peoples of the Earth (first in Jerusalem). It is the birthday of the Church. You are invited, bring friends.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Saint Stephen Cleveland internally is a perfect late nineteenth century South German splendor. Much of the woodwork is carved oak from the old country. The pulpit before it sat inside church was part of the Columbian Expostion of 1893 in Chicago. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The windows are in the South German painterly style and were created with much fine detail. They were made by the Mayer studio in Munich. They came in 1906. The only older windows that remain are behind the organ. In 1953, a tornado blew out the windows from behind the altar. Forty years later, Mayer windows from the razed St. Joseph Woodland were put in. Other Mayer windows are at St. Adalbert's Cleveland, St. John Cleveland, First Methodist Cleveland...wherever they are, they are brilliant.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">The building is made of sandstone quarried in Amherst. It is not a mediæval cathedral, but some of the same architectural features are evident. It is one of the few buildings around with functional gargoyles (monster shaped water spouts).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">One can visually examine the details for hours, and with knowledge, see what a harmonious, cohesive, congruent, complete, and co-ordinated whole the interior is. A lot of this planning was done by the first pastor, Kasimir Reichlin. See this beautiful church, which has served a community for generations. Parishioners mortgaged their homes to help build their parish church, their spiritual home. This was not uncommon; so the question who does the church belong to?; is answered: to the People of God. This is the second church of the parish built between 1873 and 1881. The parish began in 1869<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">, and quickly needed a bigger church.</span><b><br /></b></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Times,"Times New Roman",serif;">Recently,
this church and parish was suggested to be extinguished, then merged,
then put on 'probation', and is now free from that threat. There were several parishioners willing and prepared to appeal to Rome. That is one trial St. Stephen did not have to undergo.</span></div>
