We celebrate the May 17 ordination of Father Christopher Cox, who will join the St. Francis Xavier Parish staff in early June. All are welcome to attend the 10 a.m. ordination Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist at East Ninth Street and Superior Avenue in downtown Cleveland.

Father Chris, 26, grew up at St. Justin Martyr Parish in Eastlake and is the middle of three sons. He graduated from North High School before entering Borromeo Seminary in Wickliffe.

Please pray for Father Chris as he begins his priesthood and be sure to welcome him to our parish!
