THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!


Dear CCCHS Community,


The month of November was dedicated to promoting a call to action in our community to support our #weGIVECATHOLIC campaign for Cleveland Central Catholic High School. Our goal was to raise $50,000 to help transform our Ironman Center by providing new chairs, tables, and health and fitness equipment for our students and our school community. 


We are thrilled to share that thanks to your generosity, we exceeded our goal and raised $51,025!!! We are humbled and grateful for all of our donors that made our #weGIVECATHOLIC campaign an amazing success! These funds will help CCCHS continue to fulfill its mission of providing a high-quality Catholic education, while ensuring our students have access to top-notch equipment and excellent facilities.


If you have not yet had the chance to contribute, there is still time to make a difference. Please consider making a donation by clicking HERE. 


Thank you for supporting CCCHS! May God continue to bless you and your families this Christmas season and into the new year! 


Gratefully,

Tim Isabella, Director of Advancement



PRAYER PARTNER RETREAT

On Wednesday, CCCHS students participated in a special Advent retreat, joining their prayer partners at St. Stanislaus Elementary School. The day began with a Mass, followed by a retreat at the elementary school, where the high school students had the opportunity to work with their prayer partners on a variety of Advent related activities. All of the students had a wonderful morning collaborating, building relationships, and sharing in the spirit of the season! 

The prayer partner collaboration between CCCHS and St. Stan's began in the early fall and is making a significant positive impact in our community. Each week, CCCHS high school students are paired with their St. Stan's grade school "prayer partners" to attend Mass together, creating a unique opportunity for mentorship, spiritual growth, and connection across different age groups. This program benefits all of the students while also enhancing the connection between our schools, creating a stronger sense of unity and shared faith.

STUDENTS COLLECT 1,400 DONATIONS

FOR JOSEPH & MARY'S HOME

The CCCHS Student Senate and Girls Club Members delivered donations to Joseph and Mary’s Home that they collected during their Annual Donation Drive from November 4-12. Our students collected more than 1,400 items including blankets, toiletries and other essentials for this amazing organization!


Joseph & Mary’s Home is a ministry of the Sisters of Charity Health System. Their mission is to provide a nurturing, caring environment for adults without resources who have acute medical needs, helping them heal and achieve independence.
