Suburban Southwest Deanery
Did you know that our parish is now part of a Deanery structure in the Diocese of Cleveland? We are one of the twelve Deaneries across the diocese established by Bishop Malesic.
Leading the Suburban Southwest Deanery is Father Timothy Gareau, pastor of St. Colette Parish. He, along with individuals representing our eighteen parishes, will be working to develop and implement a Pastoral Plan.
The plan will consist of measurable actions that create new initiatives, share resources, and coordinate ministry among the parishes of the Deanery. The Deanery Committee is the way to gather input and ideas, not only from clergy, but from lay leaders in our parishes.
The Deanery includes the following parishes:
Assumption, Broadview Heights
Holy Family, Parma

Academy Announcement
In consultation with the Office of Catholic Education, Assumption Parish leadership is announcing the decision to resume parish oversight and administration of Assumption Academy effective June 5, 2026. This choice of a new direction likewise concludes our fruitful partnership with St. Albert the Great Parish. Begun in 2018, that partnership saved Assumption Academy from closure and revitalized it to new levels of achievement in academics, staffing, and enrollment. We extend heartfelt gratitude to the leadership and community of the St. Albert the Great Parish and School in helping us achieve this solid foundation.
This transition coincides with Principal Rick Kaliszewski’s move to St. Albert the Great Catholic School on July 1, 2026. We are deeply grateful for his six years of faith-filled leadership. The search for our next principal is underway in partnership with the Diocesan Office of Catholic Education and will be announced in early 2026 or sooner.
Though the formal partnership concludes, our collaboration in Catholic education will continue through the Diocese of Cleveland’s Keeping the Faith strategic plan with area parishes. We look forward to building on these shared successes and continuing our mission in support of Catholic schools.
Blessings and prayers,
Fr. Justin Dyrwal, O.S.B.
