St. Francis de Sales Parish is a vibrant Catholic community. There you will find everything you need to grow and nurture your faith: from their preschool day school to their Adult faith formation classes and everything in between. All are welcome to worship every day at their 2 daily Masses and 4 weekend Masses. Dont forget to spend some time in the Adoramus room.
We joined St Francis in the summer of 2011. Our parish, Sacred Heart of Jesus closed in the downsizing of the Cleveland diocese. Although we miss our former pastor, Father Bob Clancy, under whose mentoring I believe I made significant spiritual progress, the welcoming and prayerful atmosphere of St. Francis has been a great and wonderful blessing to me and to my family. We were led to this church by our daughter who was already a member, but I believe the guidance of the Holy Spirit was at work, as our Pastor, Father Bline and our Parochial Vicar, Father Suso and the example of my fellow parishioners are of great support in my continuing spiritual journey.

2021-09-01This school is exquisite but not in a good way. The Teachers and staff are very friendly but the lunch is a whole other story. First of all this is a private school so you have to pay money too go here and the lunch is still worse than a school I visited in john lane. Never heard of john lane exactly and i’ve never seen anyone who likes this lunch.Sincerely, staff member of Saint Francis de sales,

2021-05-16Absolutely horrible, my kid went their and he comes back crying. He said the lunch was horrible and he said the teachers and kids were mean (at a private school mind you) and not to mention the teacher that he has was also rude to me in the car rider line. I am never taking my kid back to this horrible school again.

2020-01-04Photographed a wedding here and it is such a beautiful church. Very accessible with tons of parking. Don’t forget to visit Mary’s Grotto by the rectory. Awesome pictures done there as well. The wedding coordinator who I met was wonderful and was more than happy to answer all the questions I had.

2019-10-08This parish is so wonderful and supportive, and it is a great atmosphere going to mass on Sundays and weekdays. The priests Fr. Bline and Fr. Jacob Bearer give really great homilies and are really understanding of their parishioners. This whole community is really strong in their faith and encourage others to be as well. The church is large and open too and has a cry-room for young children during mass, and confessionals since their have reconciliation often. The people that put the work in to decorate for the seasons make it look very very nice indeed! It is truly a marvelous place.

2016-07-19The Parish truly cares about its community, Father Bline is a God sent pastor who embodies Christs image through his deeds, and faith. And the school offers high standard quality, and genuine Catholic education. This is my personal experience with this parish, and I would recommend it to anyone seeking a good church, and school for their children grades 8, and under.
