Loaves and Fishes Grants
Church of the Resurrection donates $10,000 annually from the parish operating fund to worthy causes in Northeast Ohio through a grant process named Loaves & Fishes. The project occurs during Lent to remind us that we are part of a community greater than our parish and it is part of our Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
Loaves & Fishes Fund recipients must have a connection to the parish through our members. We ask you to recommend candidates for the fund and make the grant application available to them.
Monetary range of grants distributed depends on quality and number of applicants as well as need assessment. Past recipients have included House of Champions, Joseph & Mary’s Home, and Seeds of Literacy.
Grant Applications are closed for 2026. Please email Sr. Susan Javorek for any questions about future applications. Grant awards will be announced on Pentecost, May 24, 2026.
