Bishop Bonnar Messages

Bishops Letter on Abortion Ballot Initiative | Catholic Conference of Ohio
Catholic Conference of Ohio: “We, the Catholic Bishops of Ohio, stand with you, our faithful, in our commitment in the name of the Lord of Life, to each human person from conception to natural death.”

Jesus gets right to the heart of the matter
February is National Heart Month. It is an intentional time to draw attention to the organ of our heart and all the relationships therein.

February offers more than you think
The cold barrenness of February can be so deceiving. While outside it appears that life and growth has halted momentarily, do not be misled.

Bishop Bonnar: “Catholic schools are an ideal choice for families who want to invest in their children’s education and help them become their best selves.”
