Be a part of the journey at Divine Word Catholic Church

Welcome!

Welcome to the website of Divine Word Catholic Church! You can find us at 8100 Eagle Road in lovely Kirtland, Ohio.

History:

Our church was established July 1, 1977 by decree of the Most Reverend James A. Hickey, Bishop of Cleveland. The original number of parishioners started around 300 families, and we’ve grown to a thriving and active community of over 1200 families. We are fortunate to be led in faith by our current Pastor – Fr. Dave Woost.

If you are looking for a place to grow your faith, come and join us. We are always looking to add more families to our family!

Why You Should Join Us:

We have an incredible church staff that truly cares about our families and community. We offer many opportunities for spiritual connection and outreach. Our sacramental programs are known across the community for being spiritually powerful. And we are looking to grow!
