What began as a process to support inner city parishes that were dying because of low Mass attendance, income, and aging priests, Bishop Anthony Pilla as ordinary of the Cleveland Catholic Diocese, deci-ded to link two parishes - one from the inner city and one from the fast growing suburbs where the inner city families had migrated.

This was good, but didn't really address the issues. Therefore, when Bishop Richard Lennon was ap-pointed 7th Bishop of the Cleveland Diocese, he was forced to deal with the issues by closing, merging or clustering parishes. Our apostolate is a result of the pro-life forces at our cluster parishes coming to-gether to be a voice for life.

The Mission of HELP
"Life is sacred and a gift from God. God is the author and creator of human life and it is His divine right, not man's, to decide on when it should begin and end. HELP vows to protect this gift of human life, from the moment of conception to the time of natural death. For those who are struggling with an unplanned pregnancy or end-of-life situation, HELP is here to provide resources and support to help you with the difficult decisions you face. To those men and women who have experienced the pain and heartache associated with abortion, we vow to pray and walk with you on your journey of healing with God. "
Consistent with our mission to defend human life, we recognize that children have a right to be nurtured by their mother and their father. We defend marriage as a covenantal bond designed according to God's plan, and that this committed relationship is open to the procreation and rearing of children.
The Goal & Focus of HELP
The culture of death permeates throughout our entire country and the world. Due to the size and magnitude of this problem, HELP chooses to concentrate most of its pro-life work serving the local churches and communities in the geographic region of Geauga County and to the people we encounter as we provide witness at pro-life events. HELP also strives to provide pro-life education to our brothers and sisters in our local community.
