WELCOME!
DISCOVER GOD, BEAUTY, AND GOODNESS.
We are a Catholic Church in Tremont, Ohio.
Welcome to the St. John Cantius website. I am glad you are here. St. John Cantius has been serving the Roman Catholic community since 1898 on the corner of College and Professor Ave. The parish continues to grow as older homes are being renewed and apartments continue to be built on all sides of our parish. There is a return to city life and St. John Cantius is in the middle of the excitement. Tremont is a thriving community that is rich in diversity, culturally multifarious, and ethnically enriching. St. John Cantius was opened to serve the ever-growing Polish immigrants over 125 years ago who arrived in Cleveland to work in the industrial flats. We continue to share our Polish heritage with the neighborhood. Our annual Polish Festival is one example to experience the ethnicity of our Polish heritage. As the neighborhood continues to attract new residents, we welcome everyone into our parish family. Know there is always room for you here.

WHAT’S GOING ON
Organ Restoration
As you are aware, our organ was partially ruined right after the initial restoration in 2022 due to water infiltration from a leak in the church roof. The roof has since been replaced. New wind chests, leather, and organ blower were replaced due to damage. I am happy to say our original 100-year-old Votteler-Holtkamp-Sparling organ is back on site and the Holtkamp Organ Company is in process of re-assembling the organ. It will be fully functional by Christmas, 2024. Dedication and inaugural concert will be schedule sometime in the spring. Dates will follow.

The biblical event in this weekend’s Gospel is the celebration of the transfiguration of Jesus. After Jesus performs a series of miracles and foretells His own death, the disciples become worried that their Savior and leader would leave them. Left with this awful...
Pastor’s Thoughts
Lent is a season of conversion: We acknowledge the ways we have turned away from God in our lives, and focus on turning our hearts and minds back toward God. Hence the three traditional pillars of turning back are prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. These observances...
Parishioner Experiences
I attend St. John Cantius regularly and very much enjoy this church. Father Roach is a great preacher and I never drift when listening to his sermons. The church is beautiful. If you are near the Tremont area, I highly recommend checking out St. John Cantius even if you cannot attend mass there.
One of the most beautiful churches I have ever seen and the mass was just as spiritually fulfilling
