Lay Ecclesial Ministry Office
For inquiries about the Lay Ecclesial Ministry program, please contact Erin Raines
A “certified Lay Ecclesial Minister” is someone who has been formally accepted into the diocesan certification process, completed successfully all aspects of formation, and who has been “authorized” to serve in the diocese, as a Lay Ecclesial Minister, by the Bishop of Cleveland.
The call to Lay Ecclesial Ministry is a gift from God that is discerned by the individual in conversation with their parish priest, other ecclesial ministers, their spiritual director and the Church. The Diocese Office of Lay Ecclesial Ministry serves as part of the discernment.
